This press conference was not only extremely funny and entertaining, it will go down in history as being quite informative to those who don't follow politics and the media very much.
I laughed so many times watching it, it was hilarious. I've never seen anything like it.
This type of press conference can actually make the media become the true 4th estate again, instead of constantly running sensationalist agenda-driven garbage."All great truths begin as blasphemies."

It's inherent in claiming that a typo is an adequate way to judge intellect. That's not an intelligent belief. Nor is lumping millions of people together as if they were all one.
The press conference was planned. The media doesn't plan these, presidential administrations do. There was no meltdown, there was a planned unconventional political strategy at play. It not only turned out to be informative for the viewer, it was quite entertaining too. I've never laughed as much at any presidential press conference."All great truths begin as blasphemies."

Everybody was laughing. The irony is lost on you that everyone was laughing at trump.
The press conference was planned. The media doesn't plan these
No one claimed they did, what a bizarre thing to say.
There was no "unconventional political strategy at play," Trump was being Trump- an unhinged, raving, lying lunatic, making an ass of himself and exposing people like you for the sheep you are.
Trump is the laughing stock of the world, and, unfortunately, so is the US because of him. -

Sean Spicer Kelly Conway were laughing. Pence was smirking. It was a planned Trump smack down. He brought the press behind the barn and gave them ANOTHER whippin with a hickory switch.

I don't blame you. You're being fed the same type of Nazi propaganda that fooled 50 million Germans. They told people to hate the Jews, the communists, the blacks, the gays, the trade unionists, the Russians.
Now they're telling you to hate Trump. Now they're telling you to believe Trump is the worst person possible, a racist, gay hater, Nazi-like, crazy person. Those of us studied in this area aren't being fooled by it. Yet many are.
Though I don't blame you for being taken in by it. The propaganda is strong. The propaganda is effective. It's specifically designed to make you think you thought that Trump is bad. That's how it fooled 50 million Germans and how it's fooling millions now.
If you're interested how this updated and refined Nazi propaganda works, I suggest reading the words of the originator of it. He gloated about it in several books.
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.
Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.
This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.
In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of personswho understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.

Yeah, he dismantled them by lying, cutting off questions, and acting like a buffoon.
You don't realize that you watched the media dismantle HIM. They're not accepting his lies as "alternative facts" anymore, they're calling him out on his lying and succeeded in getting him to act like a buffoon.
Cases in point:- the question as to why the people should trust HIM, when he gets facts wrong all of.the time.
- Him cutting off a reporter's valid question
- The leaks are real but the news on them are fake
- perhaps my favorite was him rambling on about Flynn. He was only.doing his job, but no, I didn't know he'd done that but if I didn't know I would have told him to do it but I didn't know and didn't tell him to do it.
The press is finally weary of the guy lying like a rug (toupee), and they're calling him out on it. And he can't handle that. When he lied about the highest electoral win, he was told Obama's was higher, so he went with "I meant republicans" to which he was told Bushie Jr's win was higher, to which he stuttered about someone telling him the wrong info. LMFAO!!!!!!
This day will go down in infamy, as the day Donnie was unhinged as the press finally called him out.
I don't want the world. I just want your half.

The only place that Trumpists sycophants can make Trump look like he is always correct, is social media like here where dozens of accounts talking to each other are actually just a few people juggling accounts.
Sorry but I gotta call you out and I have questions.

Trump said he would have made a pretty good reporter and was pretty close to predicting the headline.
Trump said it would be, "Trump rants and raves."
But the media seems to like "unhinged."
Either way, he called it was going to be negative.
Not knowing history is like being a leaf that doesn't know it's part of a tree. -

LOL
We get it. Your messiah can say or do no wrong.
Nevermind the fact that the exact opposite happened. He made a fool of himself and the conference was pointless to begin with.
