530.8 days since Trump had a press conference

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Who cares about Sanders' worthless dog and pony shows.

The biggest root cause for how Trump gets away with what he does is that he doesn't have to answer any questions.

Thanks WaPo for reminding us

1. He did have a solo presser following his date with Kim Jong Un...

....however that event pretty much dominated the media’s questions so we didn’t see a wide array of questions.

There was also that informal presser about a year ago at Trump Tower where he placed white supremacists on the same level as those protesting white supremacists.

4. Such a whimp...hiding behind prop guests

2. Less than 24 hrs since his last campaign rally so it's not like he is too busy with POTUS work

3. And don't think golf is a "POTUS thing" either

5. Just imagine the extreme outrage from the mainstream media if President Obama had done the same

They would have a countdown clock on every newscast ticking away the days.

But for Shit 45, a pass. A pass for his thousands of lies and his criminal administration daily!!!

6. We don't have to imagine

they literally had a cyron across the screen reminding us of how many days Hillary went between press conferences when she was running against him. This was despite her giving a press conference with a group of black journalists.

7. Exactly

The glaring differences in coverage are glaring.

8. @#$% damn bastards!

The so-called "liberal media" is one of the biggest lies from the right IMO!

It couldn't be farther from the truth!

10. Precident. We get a pass when a Democrat wins

End of story.

11. The media has given this administration so many passes, it boggles the mind. Contrary to what....

they try to sell us, his "tweets" are not policy, and I commend Rachel Maddow for ignoring his twitter account. Rachel always says, watch what they do, not what they say.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. But we as Dems need to focus on a handful of things

And not lose to his throw a ton of balls in the air strategy. I think his not standing up like a man and fielding questions is a biggie. It is a sign of a dictatorship.

13. I completely agree about the press conferences. Those are designed to get to the nub of "policy".

His tweets and campaign style rallies aren't worth all the breathless coverage they get. He does that crap because he knows the media will lap it up, and spread it far and wide.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. But we all follow..the latest rant. He wants that
