I am sick and tired of news people saying and writing "The White House said, the White House told them what they could say"and on and on. The White House is a building, it does not speak. Say a name, if you do not know the name of the person speaking then go to the top, say Trump. He asked for it, give him the blame. The buck stops with him.

(41,052 posts)We never know WHO in the White House is saying these things.
My guess is that Kelly is the one running the country more so than Dump. Dump has to have his "executive time" y'know.

Alex Nitwit cut away to listen to Nancy Pelosi, but as soon as Annie Kuster, head of the opioid initiative got up to the mike, MSNBC went back to interviewing the Republican they had on the show. Don't they know press conferences are held because people want the public to know something???????????????????
