Trump's long-awaited news conference quickly turns combative
Associated Press ^ | Jan. 11, 2017 | JONATHAN LEMIRE

NEW YORK (AP) — A shouting match with a reporter. A long unexplained prop. An unexpected interlude from a lawyer.

Donald Trump's raucous first news conference as president-elect bore little resemblance to the usually staid and choreographed sessions with the occupant of the Oval Office. It was a 58-minute display of how some of the old rules of journalism will be tested in the Trump era.

The AP has become almost unbearable of late.

Yikes are they bad.

“it is being replayed on the radio constantly, Mr Trump was NOT combative, the Fake News Presstitutes were.”

Exactly.

He is going to have to fight them all four years.

Hopefully, like training a dog, the MSM will learn their lesson. They need to realize that things are not going to be business as usual.

Exactly what I wanted to say. The reporter was the one shouting, not Donald Trump. The Associated Press is just stating there was “shouting” there, conveniently omitting who was the one doing it, and hoping that people reading their story will automatically assume it was Trump raising his voice.

The MSM and the DNC and the GOPe along with them are all going to be...how can we say...adjusted, and how.

It will NOT be business as usual.

“I would bet most people appreciate the way Trump handled it. CNN dude was obnoxious, Trump was able to put him in his place and also use that as an excuse to condemn CNN. Perfect. Trump is going to show them all that they no longer have the influence. Their days are over and they know it.”

I figured the rude reporter was from CNN. Trump was definitely the alpha male in the room.

“Can these bastids EVER tell the truth.”

Isn’t that a rhetorical question? If not, the answer is NO. :^)

Liberal think anyone that doesn’t agree with them and kiss their ass is “combative” or “angry”. F’em!

What a steaming pile of BS. Trump barely raised his voice the whole time; including when he bitchslapped the CNN presstitute. I watched the entire presser, and the guy who posted this thread and described it as a shouting match is a BS artist. More Fake News!

I noticed that!

I wonder who was cheering? Did they allow the public there? That was a fantastic moment. :)

“He is going to have to fight them all four years.”

Eight. You meant eight years.
