What would Trump do if the press decided NOT to cover his administration?

[Ken Burch]

...that is, stopped showing up for WH press conferences, stopped reporting on his Red State Nuremburg Tour...just refused to acknowledge he was there?

1. Bloody good quesion Ken Burch

Who is going to call his bluff?

2. Trump would go into full melt-down mode.

Kellyanne would offer her first-born child in exchange for two minutes of airtime.

Republicans would be reduced to "getting out their message" by grabbing the mic at local karaoke bars and bingo halls.

Sean "Baghdad Bob" Spicer would be forced to STFU due to lack of an audience.

In other words, this sounds like a win/win scenario all around.

3. That is what they should have done when they locked reporters in cages during the primaries

Just stop covering the asshole...
Period

4. The media would never do that, the ratings alone are too great.

What's Trump going to do when the media starts actually reporting again, which they stop doing properly every fucking election because they want shit to be horse races.

5. CNN didn't air Spicer's conference live.

Dunno if they had someone there, but they opted not to show it live and pick what they aired.
