    Do you think Trump will EVER hold a press conference with the HATED media? I say NO.
    Hello:

    Why should he? He doesn't NEED the media like other presidents have.. He gets HIS word out with tweets and rallies. If someone writes something he doesn't like, he attacks the reporter and the company he works for with tweets. I'd bet he'd EVEN sue the reporter just to bankrupt him.. That'll keep the rest of 'em QUIET, won't it?? Plus, he's streaming Trump TV, and who could forget FOX News?

    I think the White House press corps will DISBAND out of boredom, and the briefing room given over to the kids where they'll run the family business..

    excon

    PS> IF I'm wrong, WHO is gonna STOP him???

    PPS> I recall reading that the lawyer who SUED Gawker into bankruptcy is now part of Trumps administration.. Why would they need HIM if NOT to sue the press into bankruptcy??

    Trump was elected because he offers something different and apparently the majority in most states wanted something different. He's going to be the President that he wants to be and there's little anyone can do about that for 4 years. It's going to be an interesting ride. Personally taking to Twitter is dumb but again, there's nothing we can do about that.

    Hello Oliver:

    Yes, there is.. The next four years could test the limits of presidential power and the public’s passivity.

    I, for one, will NOT be silent. I happen to believe that history will judge kindly those of us who continued to shout from the rooftops, that THIS IS NOT NORMAL!

    Hiya, Ex.

    As you say, why should he? Has the legacy media done ANYTHING but belittle him, his family, and his policies? It's a very good thing I do not aspire to political office, because the first reporter to attack Cat or my kids would star in a Youtube video proving beyond doubt that waterboarding is a minor inconvenience.

    Well Cats, if all you have to report is what comes out of a guys mouth, and its all bad, what do you expect the media to do? I mean it's hard to lie on a guy when you have a video or a tweet of him talking CRAP. We should ignore this stuff?

    The media doesn't report what happens... they report what they want you to think happens... We have seen abundant proof of this recently.

    Plenty of past examples where MANY have been caught making things up to suit their agenda.

    I hope Trump VERY selectively decides who he will and will not talk to. After all HE has first amendment rights too. The Left wing media needs to be taught a serious lesson. Actions have consequences.

    I saw video of Trump on a talk show, somewhat subdued from the viscous attack dog of the campaign but the message was still clear enough that america won't carry the same aggressive approach in some matters. The questions were pointed enough without verballing him. Rather than yes we can and do nothing it will be a case of we will start here. He obviously takes the view that all Syrian rebels are Daesh and the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know. I think he understands that what we are seeing is a response to an aggressive american stance which makes enemies

    Hello Cats:

    The question is, will Trump hold a news conference.. Since you hate the press as much as Trump does, I assume you agree with me. He NEVER will..

    I thought I answered that question, maybe on another thread. I look for stories about the same events on different sites so as to get both viewpoints. Huffpo and Drudge are my primary pair. I often check Reason.com and CSM Online (Christian Science Monitor) as well.

    As for a news conference, I truly hope the Washington Press Corps fades as quickly as LOOK magazine.

    I think your wrong about nothing we can do about his tweeting. We can blast him with tweets and question him any time we want. Just like he can block anyone, so can YOU!

    Wonder why the media doesn't block him, and stop reporting his tweets?

    Because he is news and without him they would actually have to report the news

    Point taken Clete, but don't you think if Trump can say all kinds of outlandish things to get elected you have to at least give the press the freedom of saying it's outlandish don't you?

    The Democrats do it all the time... Pelosi, Boxer, Shumer, Obama, CLINTON... and the media reports it like they were handed down by god... Its because they are butthurt because despite the record amount spent to coronate their queen Hildebeast....and the non-stop slander, and libel against Trump, Trump still won.

    You Americans really like your politics. It's 2 years of crap on FB before the election, and then 4 years of whining on FB and everywhere else because your choice wasn't elected.

    So sick of it!

    Donald Trump is your new president. Yes, it's hilarious, the whole world is laughing at you, it's the dumbest thing ever, but it is what it is. Just deal with it already.
