[Me.]

tHat all the reporters have to bend over to speak into it? Asking for a friend.

8. He will do anything to demean members of the press.

Think about how he (until virus) has made the press scream over helicopter noise nearly every day.

Here's the problem. Some decades ago, the White House Correspondents Association ceded credentialing authority for WH press to the politicos of the press office itself. MISTAKE. Reporters covering Congress have access codified in Senate rules. WH reporters have no such protection.

Now we see a WH that abuses our watchdog free press as no other WH has done. It's maddening.

Doesn't help that the current president of the Correspondents Association, ABC's Jonathan Karl, has a long relationship with Trump and is played like an abused wife.

10. It's probably a little uncomfortable for them to have to stay bent

to ask long questions. It's Chump's way of minimizing them.

Plus, he's probably hoping some sweet new reporter will make the mistake of wearing a wide-necked or low cut blouse, and he'll get a quick thrill.
