They are absolutely beyond hysterical because they aren’t being asked to fly with the President.
Obama took the slavering press everywhere. It’s a huge perk to fly on Air Force One. Now the noses are out of joint because they aren’t “in.”
No matter how much they loathe President Trump, if they were asked to accompany him, they would jump at it like a starving snake on a juicy green frog.
Wonder if Trump will do ‘video passengers’ on AF1 instead? Do talks with selected media via internet video conferencing...
That would save time (cost), fuel (cost), planning (cost), and drama all the way around.
