My understanding is that the press conference was by invitation only. So who knows what members of the press were there?

Then it's not a press conference and shouldn't be covered as such. All the major networks were there with the appropriate reporters. Invitation only. B.S. He's a plain old candidate of the MAGA party. And he commands the presence of reporters as if he were a potentate? Well, then maybe it's time for all of those Ms. Otises to regret. This makes the media culpable. Just like in 2016, they are quickly re-upping for the Lickspittle brigade.

And the NYT reporting on this gathering of sycophants actually called it a press conference. Insane. It wasn't. It was so programmed that the questions weren't even audible.

I think that the reporters questions not being audible to the people watching was done on purpose. If people didn't hear the question, then his "answer" doesn't matter as he can say whatever he wants in response. Thereby NOT answering the question at all and with no followup question or push back the people watching are none the wiser.

Right! Where does he come off getting a Press Conference in the first place. He wouldn't even allow the Press into his private "Press Maga Meeting" the first day he was in office. And, remember, his guests included the Russians staying in Trump Tower to help him celebrate.

I tweeted @Msnbc my fury over them live broadcasting the lie-fest. He's a serial liar, no policies, just wastes time lying about crowd size. It's not too late to contact media outlets. If enough of us do this, at least we can have them think twice?
