The Press Corpse needs to be briefed just outside the WH “wall” [fence] and has no right to ever be in the WH.

it was billed as a last-minute briefing. That — that was not a briefing, right? A briefing is questions.

No dummy, a Q&A includes questions.

A briefing is:

Briefing
[ˈbriːfɪŋ]
NOUN
1. a meeting for giving information or instructions.

These lamestream idiots might enjoy a definition of the word briefing:There are two other definitions at that link that pretty say the same thing.

Interesting that all three definitions emphasize that a briefing is to provide information. That's exactly what President Trump did. He didn't take questions because questions are not part of a briefing.

Shutdown. A bad thing to Democrats and Never Trumpers.

Have at it.

CNN is such a waste. Glad I don’t watch TV.

Here is another thought.

Select a different area and invite the WHPC to a “Q&A”

Hold a Q&A.

At the end ask them if they are going to whine about asking questions at a Q&A because they all just said questions are for a “Briefing” and they just had a Q&A, not a briefing...

If they weren’t obsessed with Trump, they wouldn’t get the ratings they do.

Which are lower than HGTV and the Hallmark Channel.

The whole thing is to do the “I am mad, so you should be too!” Projection thing. Stupid people fall for it.

HAHAHA!

Love this part:

He came up to the podium, he made that remark several time that it was his first time in there and, of course, that would lead you to assume that the question would take questions as the President's other predecessors (BUT NOT PDJT) have done in the past. Instead, he spoke about the wall, he invited them to come up and then took no questions from any reporters in the room on the government shutdown stretching into 13 days and then Sarah Sanders, the press secretary, also walked out behind the President and they did not take any questions from reporters.

I bet Sarah Sanders and the President laughed for 5 minutes after that one.

They should do that at every single "press briefing" from now on.

I really enjoy watching Kristol and Navarro getting their panties all tied up in knots. PDJT has really called out the Fredocons for what they are, deep state operatives who were never on our side.

Proving once again that Journalism is a degree conferred on those who have the money to pay to spend four or more years at a college or university. It ranks just about even with the recipients of the "Theory of Sports" sheepskins.

They got rick-rolled again. So what? No one forced them to carry the briefing.

Are you kidding??

They don’t even know the meaning of the word...WALL.

Now, realize, the word briefing has two syllables...that’s a tough one.

I cracked up at today’s presser, when they could NOT comprehend the WALL thingee. Three of them asked the SAME question. I was hysterical.
