The Latest: Priebus says president nailed press conference

Source: Associated Press



FRIDAY, FEB 17, 2017 08:30 AM EST

President Donald Trump’s chief of staff, Reince Priebus (ryns PREE’-bus), is praising Trump’s handling of his news conference.

Priebus tells Fox News that Trump is a great “salesman” and that “there’s no person better to speak for President Trump than President Trump.” He says Thursday’s news conference “was an effective way to sum up what his message was yesterday and he did a fantastic job.”

Preibus also blasted recent media reports as “totally fake” or “grossly overstated.”

Priebus says there’s a chance reporters are making up the news entirely or that there are some “bad actors” or “holdovers” in the intelligence community spreading false claims.

Stockholm Syndrome or complicity, it's your choice. Both look bad, but with one there's a chance of rehab someday.

Shorter: nobody believes you.

I know I feel detached from reality when I watch Trump, and feel much dumber afterwards.

As insidious as it is, it is ridiculous and there really needs to be some mass push-back in order to halt this sort of nonsense. They are counting on the saying that "if you repeat something (a lie) enough times, it becomes 'the truth'". So it's obvious they are going to keep pounding the bullshit for as long as it takes to wear people down to "accept" it.

I wouldn't hire Trump in a million years for sales. WAY too cocky, arrogant, and a liar. Nope.
