Yesterday's Press Conference

I'm disappointed. I really thought that I would have lots of interesting reading after yesterday's press conference. Both pro and con. But nary a word. I had my whole morning planned out. Oh well.

Trump held two press conferences yesterday. I watched the one where he melted down, claimed to have the largest Electoral win since Reagan, and basically rambled on for an hour. He then gave a second one that folks on the right claimed to have been the single best conference anyone ever gave. Sadly, it wasn't taped or the powers that be have embargoed it. Love to see it if anyone has a tape.

When certain parts of the press have an agenda against you you, then you need to truly exploit them. That would be the VFNN. Just go on Youtube and see countless incidents of bias.

The press conference DonDiego watched was at the Boeing Plant in South Carolina.

It was, . . . umm, . . . ahh, . . . unique. DonDiego cannot recall when he has been so entertained watching a news conference.

It was especially intriguing to observe his interactions with the reporters. He'd mock some of the news organizations when he heard who the reporter worked for, he'd scold them for working for a news organization that spread "fake news". He'd "score" the reporters on whether they'd asked a good question or not; he'd banter back and forth with them.

Otherwise, typical Trump. Not particularly eloquent, . . . fewer polysyllabic words, . . . but in the end he pretty much said everything he wanted to say. And the answers were not the usual political pablum; like where the politicians have been schooled on whom not to offend; what to be wary about answering; and how to "answer" without saying anything.

At the end the listener knew where the President stood on the issues. That's a positive.

Trump's quote was "I guess it's the biggest electoral college win since Ronald Reagan". The truth is that he "guessed" that he won the most electoral votes since Reagan. It is not the "truth" that Trump "claimed to have the largest Electoral win since Reagan".

If Billy owns such a strong position, why must he continue to lie?

Trump is everything that embodies his strongest supporters: thin skinned, paranoid conspiracy mongers that only want information favorable to their ideology. Every president we've ever has had instances where they are not always truthful. And they always get dragged out by the press and have to answer for it. But we've never had someone that lives in an alternate universe - or so many people willing tolerate him preaching from there. We are in unprecedented times.

All the media is out to get him. All the climate scientists are in a conspiracy of lies. All the protestors are paid by his opponents. And all the states won by his opponents were done with the aid of massive voter fraud by illegal immigrants. And none of the reported facts to the contrary are credible because the free press is the enemy of the people. Holy shit. I don't expect anything good to come from this.

But.. but.. but Bengazhi.

I caught most of his PC and thought it was pretty good, he allowed everyone a chance, something people have been complaining about.
Meltdown? I didn't see anything close to a meltdown but of course the media did and made it spound like he needed a straight jacket and thrown in the looney bin, but I expected no less. I see a meltdown as someone who's having a psychotic episode, he was anything but. He was articulate, succinct and made his point. Trump even called it. The media did respond as such and they didn't disappoint. He called the MSM out for exactly what they were and what they were doing, there were no lies or even exaggerations (as he's wont to do) in what he claimed they were doing. No matter what he does, they will put a negative spin on it and some idiots will protest it.
I also don't blame him one bit for calling CNN out on their "reporting", bitch about FOX all you want but at least guys like Hannity and Carlson don't even pretend to be unbiased.
CNN used to be my go to place for news, I started watching in college during the liberation of Kuwait, Wolf Blitzer and co., but had quit watching several years ago and I wasn't even AWARE that FOX had a national news channel. When a liberal accused me of watching "too much FOX news" I always wondered what the hell a housefire in Glen Burnie had to do with anything ( we always watched local FOX in the morning, we liked their weather reports best), I finally realized they had a national broadcast. It's ch. 360 on directtv and I never went up to those channels.
I digress. Several months before the election I started watching FOX and CNN with a smattering of other outlets, MSNBC, NBC etc. to see just what the differences were. While I did like FOX I could see easily see the bias and cut through that, especially watching other outlets. Watching CNN however was a different world when it came to amything related to the election, it was so obvious they had their nose so far up the Dems ass particularly Hillary and this was BEFORE any of the collusion mail surfaced. Anything and everything concerning Trump got such an extremely negative spin on it it was ridiculous. Now of course FOX was pretty negative on the hill but nothing at all like CNN. The other outlets weren't much better. Sometimes they wouldn't even mention, or at most a tiny blurb, on some events.
Bottom line, todays current "news" outlets should hardly even be calling themselves news, should be more "opinion oriented" shows that touch on current events. Trump was and is right on calling them out.

One thing I didn't care for, he seemed to deflect or not fully answer many questions so it wasn't really a very informative PC.


Speaking of youtube, here's the end of the video with the Iraqi guy who got detained at the airport and someone asked what he thout of Trump. The look on the congresswoman's face when he says he likes Trump at the end is absolutely priceless. Best look of amazement I've ever seen on a congressman. No wonder ABC edited it.
