Esquire magazine’s Jack Holmes has the blues. Orange Man is treating the press as though they are unimportant. Considering they didn’t stop his nomination, didn’t stop his election, didn’t get him indicted for Russiagate, and won’t get him impeached, I would say he is right. They are the wind beneath his wingtips.
Holmes penned a 4,300-word thumb-sucker, “Chopper Talk: Where the White House Press Corps Goes to Get Ritually Abused by Donald Trump. In a world without press briefings, reporters are forced to ask the world’s most powerful man questions over the roar of a helicopter.”
The press did this to themselves. Reporters know it. They had a good thing going with the daily press briefings. Cable news got big ratings. Reporters had a shot at being the next Sam Donaldson.
Then the press got too big for its britches. Instead of reining in Jim Acosta, it sided with him in a lawsuit. The departure of Sarah Sanders as press secretary opened the door for President Donald John Trump to slam the door on the daily press conferences.
Instead, the president holds impromptu briefings. He answers their questions but does not allow them to preen for the cameras.
reporters are forced to ask the world’s most powerful man questions over the roar of a helicopter.
And yet, even this is better than they deserve.
…at least they acknowledge he IS the world’s most powerful man…

Esquire became a leftist propaganda rag disgusted as a fashion magazine a long time ago.
The more people who know that, the better.
TRUMP
IS THE
MAN
As I read the first paragraph I started laughing… The media is the Grinch overlooking Whoville not understanding how Christmas came after all he did to the contrary…
Unlike the Grinch, the media will never come to itself and realize Trump is bigger than they are and there’s nothing they can do to stop him
“The White House press are people who have reached what has traditionally been viewed as the pinnacle of American political journalism”
LOL
” In a world without press briefings, reporters are forced to ask the world’s most powerful man questions over the roar of a helicopter.”
Well at least they’re not forced to stand up underneath the propellers while they’re whining out questions. 😀
Oh, sorry- Too Vic Morrow?
They are the wind beneath his
wingtipsbutt.FTFY, Don! (-:
edit: No, MJA, not too Vic M.! The noozies lost their heads long ago.
There is not one reporter in the MSM, not one. When every single MSM employee reads exactly the same words, with exactly the same slant, and usually in the same order, they are not reporters. They are yes men.

..it wouldn’t do any good to cut the press’ heads off, that’s not the end they think with, or even TALK out of…
Sitting in a chair on Tee Vee asking the President a phony question so you can act like an asshole is not a conference.
The wind beneath his bedsheets… 😆
Winning.

YEAAAAH…!!!
Love it!
As Sundance at CTH writes, “Chopper pressers are the best pressers. ” So true!
Worst apology ever.
The liberal media are not bootlickers, they work higher on the rear side of the anatomy.
The President forces them to display their ignorance.
And they hate him for it.
…maybe you’ll like this prophecy too, @pianamusic…

Our modern “press” quit being reporters over 20 years ago, at least during the Bush administration, who frequently but not always deserved the press’s negative treatment, definitely during the Obama administration who did not deserve the cover provided by the press, and who lambasted Trump even before he was sworn in. Too many of them were only interested in being media stars, many others were trying to force their politics on the viewing public, and virtually none of them were even pretending to be reporters.
Trump is just recognizing what most ordinary Americans feel about our modern press – they are as useful as teats on a bull. The difference between Trump and former Presidents is that Trump has chosen to not pretend that these jackasses are important in and of themselves; and this is a proper stance to take. If the media ever screws up and hires actual reporters, I’m sure Trump will treat the media more seriously.
Esquire is for buttigegs. (Notice I didn’t say ‘gays’.)
To alpha male gays – and any gay with common sense – buttigeg is a beta putz, who should be doing their laundry.
“Oh, sorry- Too Vic Morrow?”
as a devotee of ‘Combat!’ … ouch!
They tried to put us “deplorables’ in a basket, but put themselves in a shit house.

Not exactly comfortable about him being thought of as an emperor of the world, as the video may suggest. But, definitely believe he is the the wind beneath America’s wings.
Thanks!
