“I don’t blame the Trumps for being upset, but the “White House” per se should not (directly) get down in the weeds over this name calling.”
Should they be “above all that”?
Let the response come from somewhere or someone else besides
‘The Official White House’. Otherwise, it gives the impression that some little Canadian nobody was able to tease the President and throw him off his game.
The image should not be of the enraged president sitting and dictating a direct answering response to Samantha Bee.
She will be dizzy with delight at the new level of attention and notoriety. Let someone like Don Jr. or Kellyanne Conway respond. The President doesn’t benefit getting into a word war with Bee, who has a very small audience.
