FDR gave about three fireside chats per year, not like they were a weekly media event.
SNL made fun of Jimmah Carter with their “plantside chat” sketch in 1979. The Peanut outdid them with his infamous “malaise speech” that same year as the killer rabbit attack.
PDJT’s tweets & addresses at packed rallies do very well to get his message across, IMO.
At least those would be real stone, not Styrofoam.
Simple. Trump just needs to have fireside chat every Friday Evening with the DNC talking Points one one chart board, and the RNCt/GOPt talking points on the other chart, sitting on bar stool, with a pointer dissecting the valid positions on each issue. This is News! This has balance. This has Trump at his best, like Reagan the showman, insightful and smiling, reminding Americans that “I” was once a Democrat too.
“Hannity would just interrupt you.”

That’s why I don’t watch him anymore....
I am Trump’s point man. You can pass them to me.
LOL at the total truth of that !
Ronaldus Magnus used to do a radio show and when he was coming up in CA it was helpful in establishing his conservative cred and bringing others into the fold. After he was president, he kept it up, (I think, Did he? I don’t know anybody who ever listened.) but I don’t think it did any good.
I like Trump’s twitter strategy. Seems to be doing all he needs it to do.
This point of this thread is “How do we make Trump do what we want, instead of what he wants?” Why if we could just talk to him he will drop everything.
However, my understanding is that he has a short list of very important things that he is working toward, exactly those few things that he has plainly told everyone about like fixing that VA etc., and if Kavanaugh is not confirmed he will just put up the next name on his list.
Slightly off topic but relevant in the same sense is the current state of the Florida Governor race. Gillum (D) has just released a very good campaign ad that makes him look like a grown up Barak Hussein Obama, complete with tax increases, guaranteed health care, and free education for all. Conversely, DeSantis (R) has just released a new ad that you about Little League baseball that you have to watch at least twice to realize that it’s a campaign ad.
I don’t think that Gillum can actually win in FL, but if the (R’s) can’t come up with a better way to present DeSantis to the low info voters, Gov. Gillum may be a reality, and a disaster, after the elections.
They should have a weekly “ ride Along with Trump” in the golf cart with him talking to regular people.
In a google search just now of "President Trump UN Sept. 24, 2018", the first page includes a NYT headline of …. White House Memo At the U.N., Trump Can’t Escape His Political Problems Back in Washington " This is several articles before you ever get to anything about any of PDJT's appearances at the UN on Monday.
Of course when I did watch them from links provided here in FreeRepublic, the cameras were clicking loudly throughout the 2-3 minute greetings with world leaders. This proves that plenty of press was there. They just choose not to give any air time to positive things about our President. In my lifetime, I don't recall any Republican President (maybe any president) who gave more opportunities to the press to hear him.
That’d be kewel
..
i dont want president and his cabinet or others telling people much of their next steps to deal with problems in USA or abroad. enough leaking of info already.
I don’t mind if he gave updates more, but he already does that via twitter.
i don’t think any message you send to the White House will be taken seriously, or taken at all. During the campaign the Trump website had an input box soliciting ideas for governing from the American people. I queried the White House twice asking which of these ideas, if any, had been considered or implemented. Both times I got a form letter response promising an answer and so far...crickets. I suspect all those suggestions from Americans were selected and then deleted. It was just a gimmick.
