The press has to stop being polite to trump at news conferences.

During trumps last news conference he said he was putting all his companies in a trust. His sons would be in charge and he would not talk to his sons about it. Are you kidding me. No one in the press challenged him on that complete bullshit.

The press needs to grow a pair when dealing with this lunatic. Someone in the press should have told trump that is the biggest bunch of bullshit they have ever heard in their entire careers. They should have torn him apart. Trump is winning the battle against the press. If he wins the war we are screwed.

And ask Trump one question at a time. An important question like the one cnn was going to ask about Russian involvement. And if he fails to answer - the next question should be the same thing. No more giving him three questions at a time which allows him to confuse the issue and answer none.
