Do you remember when Trump, Conway, Spicer were all like Sheriffs castigating the media?

They now look like scared rabbits in a cover-up, and now are humbled in front of the media.

The media will get us through this nightmare and hold these ***holes acountable. They don't look so tough the past couple days as they try to make their cover-up look like it isn't.

Get ready Mr. Pence to be sworn in as 46th!

Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump is shittier at playing the media than George W. Bush was. Bush at least got the media to line up behind him in a show of desperate jingoism, lest they be branded unpatriotic. Trump has nothing but his own identity to stand on. He has no concrete policy or ideology, which leaves him merely a bully. And journalists, as a rule, aren't afraid of bullies. They can be the hackiest of hacks, but their job requires that they at least make a show of standing up to bullies.

So true in all your points

I would suggest that Trump's "policy" is to use America as his own personal brand and to make as much money as he can while attempting to dodge media questioning 😒

@peachykeen: I mean, yeah, that's still a legitimate possibility, depending on how much his family's interests are now his interests.

Have you seen this? 🤔

Scroll down each side bar. It's quite extensive.

That's kind of embarrassing. =(

@IvanKaramazov: I have no idea how he gets away with it? It boggles my mind.

IvanKaramazov

I think because there's not a lot regulating what a president can do in this realm because the last guy who broke ranks this much was Teddy Roosevelt. Not to compliment Trump, just to compare.

Actually, in 1974 Nelson Rockefeller served as Vice President to Gerald Ford. Since he was in public office and very wealthy you would think they would have rules in place?

IvanKaramazov

Oh, wow, I really forgot about that. You're actually right. I don't know. I don't think those rules have ever been tested much constitutionally, though, from what I know of case law, so I don't know where they stand.
