    They obviously lack the journalistic integrity of Breitbart, eh?

    Speaking of breitbart...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl55q2nK76k

    Trump's efforts in this regard are the direct opposite of the Clintons. I applaud him.

    I'm not sure how you got that from my comment. However, you seem like you're going on a long rant so I'll let you believe your conspiracy about myself and breitbart

    Well, it's not like Trump is dumb enough to, say, oh, hire a top-tier adviser who was actually working at Breitbart, so.......er, uh,...wait.....oh nevermind....nevermind.

    Hint: he is right. Speaking historically, CNN is, indeed, a renowned news org. They got caught up in this fakery though. And Breitbart is, indeed, a "cesspool of opinion" and a known source of extreme lies and other BS. Live with it.

    Maybe at one time. However, all things change. Hint: News organizations cross-check their information...

    The big thing here tho was the fact Trump didnt have questions submitted ahead of time. He took random questions in real time.

    BTW I loved the way he shut down the horses ass from CNN.

    The press conference was meaningless.

    I don't care what you think of CNN, you still take their god*amn questions.

    Nice try, but they didn't "get caught", they jumped at the story.

    Speaking of media and fake stories, isn't Steve Bannon, the king of fake news awarded to him by founding Breibart, working with Trump? Obama was smart to avoid answering to Fox, because Fox News is equilent to answering to a reporter from TLC (a real fox would be smarter than all the anchors and correspondents combined).

    Actually, I am concerned about Trump's conflicts of interest to some degree & have been for awhile. After all, he's built a massive worldwide enterprise. That said, I hope no conflicts arise & he's able to walk to that fine line. I also have a concern he might shy away from doing the right thing because it could be construed, politically spun at least, as a conflict if he does.

    Yes, Trump is a petulant child with reporters. And these forum people whining about Obama's press conferences, were once big fans only a few years ago of Dubya Bush, who made a mockery of press conferences, even keeping a male prostitute on the first row, who pretended to be a reporter, who would loyally ask Dubya a few softball questions. His name is Jeff Gannon, for the historically-challenged. Not that history matters, to Trump's cult members.

    Yeah, she is a partner within a solid law firm. What, no comment about what she said?

    The question I have is who takes on the role of ethics advisor? That'll be very important. I too am concerned about conflicts arising, but I think Trump is going above and beyond what's required of him. I mean, giving up the profits to his hotels from foreign governments? That's gotta be a good chunk of change. At the very least, one can't say that the President-Elect isn't at least aware of the potential problem, which seems to be more than can be said about a certain former Secretary of State.

    Trump showed, once again, that he has no class and no brains. He’s already a national embarrassment and the laughingstock of the entire world. His supporters are apparently the only people on the planet too clueless to see the Orange Imbecile for what he is.

    The fool can’t even handle a stinking press conference without stooping to cheap insults. It’s going to be a long four years, having the White House filled with Trailer Trash. If we’re lucky, he’ll be impeached. The sooner, the better.

    Dubya can keep his ole male prostitute. Trump has his eye set on his fanboy, Putin.

    It is nice to have the media be accountable.

    I saw it ... because even for me as foreigner interesting. My rating of it and about Trump:

    Nothing more or otherwise as the usual Trump comedy show ... also known in meantime in Germany as "TRUMPOMEDY"!

    He has really much to learn to become a President but the White House is unfortunately no school to teach people to become a president, there should be people who can be a president!

    Will be interesting when he get in future questions from foreign journalists of countries he does not like or which do the US not like and how he will handle this.

    I just watched a recording of Don's full news conf but it was a bit top-heavy with too much talk about hacking and fake news and his handing over his businesses to Eric and Don jr. (yawn).
    It's a pity nobody asked him for his thoughts on NATO, the mideast and America's military and economic interests around the world.
    In fact it was a bit of a madhouse with reporters all shouting questions at him, but he stole the show as usual..:)
