I'm sure it'd make every President's job easier if the media were sycophants. So you can pretty much guess which media outlets will get access to Trump. Explains why people like Piers Morgan and Joe Scarborough are kissing his ass nonstop.

She's live tweeting Trump's NYT meeting. That he doesn't know his supporters will be furious if nothing happens to Hillary again shows a stunning lack of awareness. Even Breitbart was pissed this morning when it was suggested he won't do anything!

Trump says "no" when asked if he is taking investigations off the table for Clintons but adds he doesn't want to "hurt the Clintons."

That last tweet was Trump making clear he doesn't favor prosecution. Added people could argue the Clinton Foundation has done "good work."

Conflicts of interest? Trump says: “If it were up to some people, I would never, ever see my daughter Ivanka again."

Following these live tweets of the NYT meeting is remarkable. I actually think he's become even more insecure after winning which seems impossible, but here we are.

'Trump on his businesses/conflict q's: "The law's totally on my side, the president can't have a conflict of interest."'
This is totally consistent with the fascism accusations. Trump doesn't care about right and wrong, not because he's bad but because he doesn't view the world that way. There is no right or wrong, there's just the struggle to improve things for one's self and one's kin. On a global scale, international law isn't actual right and wrong to be adhered to, it's just noise and the only right is what you can do to gain advantage.
He's right that the president has special protection from conflict of interest laws that apply to everyone else, but that's to facilitate the activities of the president, not to make the president's business empire bigger.

SNL got it with their news skit on Sunday. Trump understands the Gish Gallop, there's simply no way to deal with the constant stream of stuff, nothing takes hold, nothing gets traction, nothing has impact, because the next thing pushes it out.

But Trump on Breitbart has to be the best one so far. Yup, Breitbart, well known for it's coverage of the left.

Trump gets asked about his commitment to first amendment, says, "I think you'll be happy."

So following that was pretty wild. I'm thinking we will never see an actual President Trump press conference, unless the reporters and questions are screened well in advance.

CBC just showed live footage of him walking through the lobby of the NYT building on his way out, and he was booed relentlessly. Pretty funny.
