(42,770 posts)a proper news conference, in a room, where questions can be heard. If they show up and stand by a copter and noisy generator and allow him the opportunity to riff and obfuscate.....bad on them.

(82,849 posts)Maybe it's time to cut bait here, reporters and editors. Quit tagging around after the "official" news sources and press secretaries and cultivate contacts with other, unofficial sources. Anything short of a full-blown open-ended press conference isn't good enough. Shut these dissemblers out of the process.

(110,950 posts)When asked any question about Donald Trump or his policies, they should refer them to their "Republican colleagues"? Don't cover for the Republicans. Let them answer for themselves. Do not give them a binary explanation.
For example, if they ask about what someone has said about something Trump has done illegally, refer them to the Republican Party. They have all the answers.

Nothing he says interests me.
