Jan 2017

the press doesn't understand is that they are losing this battle badly.

if they are to gain any sort of respect...they need:

1. stop reporting on his tweets
2. stop giving him any attention whatsoever
3. only report on what the house + senate are doing - report on the laws and the policies

ignore trump and then he will crumble.

but they don't have the guts.
