Donald Trump had his press conference but still didn't say anything, and never will

" Donald Trump did not reveal anything at his press conference — except that the press won't ever be able to reveal anything about Donald Trump.

Part-bully, part-scold, Trump did what he does best: He used the force of his own ego to silence anyone who is not in service to that ego.

He didn't answer questions. He questioned the questions themselves. When asked if Russian President Vladimir Putin has anything on him, he turned the question back on the reporter: "Does anyone in this room really think Hillary Clinton would be tougher on Vladimir Putin than Donald Trump?"

Later, when asked about the report that he hired prostitutes in a Russian hotel, he did the same thing, "Does anyone really believe that story?" Again, that's not an answer; it's a question."

Facts don't matter. Lies don't mattter. Logic doesn't matter. Actions don't matter. Consequences don't matter.

"Two-four-six-eight! Gonna make it all so great! "Yaaaaaay me!"

That's what matters.

They do know what they are doing. I was driving and listening on the radio, but assume the TV didn't show who is applauding. It makes it appear, to the general public, like the press approved his comments. I'm telling you, Goebbels would be proud. These master manipulators cannot be underestimated.
