He should announce plans to cut the WH press corps by 10% monthly until “we reach a level that seems appropriate.” Or zero, whichever comes first.

With apologies to LeBron, where is it written that the press is to always be part of DJT’s posse?

I mean, it’s not like he is the head of The Office Of The President-elect.

Trump really, really owes the press a serious period of time in which he holds them in explicitly and precisely the same contempt they held him for a year and a half.

The Donald ... keeping his promise to be “unpredictable”. Keep the media guessing & off balance - they deserve it, the ‘Rat b@stards.

We don’t need the media pukes. The Donald can talk to us directly.

1When Demcorat Presidents have done this, the press laughed it off and said, “Oh, he’s so brave and adventurous!”’

When Sandy Berger carried info out in his socks, Bill Clinton said laughingly, “Oh he does stuff like that all the time.” The press laughs and chuckles right along with him.

He owes the press nothing. I am amazed the clowns in the MSM still think so

Oh My...The horror...The press will now demand that the President Elect provide them with
1)Counseling
2) A safe space
3) Kleenex
4) Play-Do
5) Coloring Books
6) Participation Trophies
Don’t Forget boys and girls of the press that the kindergarten bus will pick you up at 9:00 in the morning.
Never have I heard such whining since the Michigan Law School group feel good hug.. The press no longer sets the rules...the president to be does..its about time....Yes elections have consequences..

Maybe when he’s getting ready to go somewhere, he could just tweet: “AMF!” realDonaldTrump

This is hilarious. I am familiar with the area and the restaurant Trump went to is literally a 5-10 minute walk from Trump Tower. These lazy journalists couldn’t walk a few blocks?

Wouldn’t it be better if these reporters were out there reporting on the damage caused by the Clinton supporters.

I’ll be ok not knowing what President Donald Trump had for dinner.
