President Trump’s Instructions to Sarah Sanders
President Trump is instructing a scale back in press briefings and contact with the press, saying that he doesn’t want to reward overwhelming fake and dishonest coverage. Fox News reports:
President Trump on Tuesday said he told Sarah Sanders “not to bother” giving press briefings, citing inaccurate coverage, as the White House press secretary continues her longest stretch away from the podium.
“The reason Sarah Sanders does not go to the ‘podium’ much anymore is that the press covers her so rudely & inaccurately, in particular certain members of the press. I told her not to bother, the word gets out anyway! Most will never cover us fairly & hence, the term, Fake News!” Trump tweeted.

AdvertisementThe president’s tweet comes as the White House has been criticized for not holding regular press briefings. The last press briefing was Dec. 18—35 days ago, which marks Sanders’ longest stretch away from the podium. ABC News reported that the previous record was 29 days.
This stretch comes amid an intense partial government shutdown, with no end in sight. The government ran out of funding on Dec. 22, over a border security funding debate between the White House and congressional Democrats, and has left more than 800,000 federal workers and contractors without pay. Tuesday marks the 32nd day of the partial shutdown.
After the botched media operations in Buzzfeed’s fake Russia story and the ruthless attack on the innocent Covington children, no wonder that the American people no longer trust the media. With social media and the internet, there is no need for a news intermediary between the president and the people.
Great news! When the President wants to talk to the American people he can do it himself from the Oval Office any time he wants. I subscribe to “1600 Daily.com” and get what I really need to know from there. Every other online news blog (including Fox) I take with a grain of salt, except for “rushlimbaugh.com”. Blaze TV looks like a great up and coming format. Maybe at some point WH briefings or news can come from there. The rest of them can GO POUND SAND. Stay the course, Mr. President. MAGA!
Isn’t it nice to have leader with balls instead of bending over every time the socialist’s say to.
It certainly is. The President won’t take any bull s—t from anyone. Maybe that’s why the demon rats hate him. I am so disgusted with the democrats. They won’t help the President do anything. He wants to build the wall and Pelosi and Schumer say no. Maybe Pelosi doesn’t want the wall because she couldn’t get her drugs. Schumer is just a jack ass.
You are correct Brian:
President Trump needs to REVOKE all the press credentials and press passes!
Screw the MSM.
God Bless President Trump!
President TRUMP is right not to put our honorable Ms Sarah Huckabee
in front of the devious piranha news press as they believe it’s their right
demonize/criticize/condemn President TRUMP and his innocent honorable US Presidential Cabinet
SO he ordered no more press conferences until further notice
I don’t believe that President TRUMP should ever put any of his US Cabinet
members out in the hateful deep state press conferences again
they can all go to hell as far as I care
this is my TRUMPing Truth!!!
the communist bullshit outlets have no business in the whitehouse , they never get the story right ,they will not act like adults, and they all want to add their agenda to the conversation..
HE CAN DO IT THRU TWITTER AND SO CAN SARAH. THEN SHE CAN TAKE EMAIL QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMUNISTS.
I hate what the media does to Sarah , but one thing you can say about her is she has guts and spunk in handling them. Now they won’t be able to handle not taking their frustration out on Sarah and that I love. LOL. Serves them right.!! I’m a red head and would love to hand them their heads.!
God Bless Sarah Sanders! She is the very Best this Country has to offer and we don’t know how she has been able to withstand all these attacks on her. You see, she has impeccable character while the Left are just scum!
Tough like her father
The press conferences are joke! Sarah has been great and does not need to put up with the CNN scum that NEVER let the TRUTH interfere with their story! What really bugs me is the people that watch the crap BELIEVE THEM!!!
Sarah Sanders is the best Press Secretary we have ever had, but the President is right, the so called press is so rude to her and bias toward President Trump and the American people why bother to hold Press Briefings, they print what ever they want anyway so “F”um. Remember this it is not Sarah or the president that they are vilifying, it those Americans who voted for and support OUR President, us !
In days past it was called yellow journalism, now fake news. Obviously, worse nowadays because of the proliferation of media disguising themselves as journalists. Most of the CNN clowns would not make a wart on a real journalist’s butt!
When I listen to Sarah Sanders trying to talk to the screeching, yelling, cackling and utterly obnoxious corporate press LIARS I find myself laughing at their uncivilized and rude behavior. Just listening to them pretty much exposes their lack of professionalism and integrity.
Why talk to the creep media at all?
No need to suffer abuse from incompetent partisans. I’d recommend President Trump publish a daily fact paper and pin it to a bulletin board somewhere on the mall where everyone can see it. No need to manage press credentials, obey judges or other nonsense. President Trump works for far more voters than the handful of miserable liars with credentials. What about questions? Since these partisans claim to be writers, ask them to submit them in writing and watch for answers on the bulletin board.
Great idea . President Trump is FULL of GREAT IDEAS!!!
It is time to stop calling them “the media,” and start calling them what they are, “the communist propaganda machine,” which somehow has obtained a foothold in our country. Why can’t the Trump GOP purchase/rent their own mainstream TV news station, peopled with real Americans, not communists and let us tune in to it daily for our news. If the Demonrats whine, let them also purchase/rent their own station. It would be interesting to see who has the highest ratings, wouldn’t it. This would give people the choice to tune into fake news or real news. I bet Americans would donate to make it happen.
The press conferences are a waste of time for Sarah. The media reps focus on one question, stated 25 different ways, which Sarah has to reiterate over and over the same answer. They do it every time and I believe it’s done on purpose to get Sarah flustered! She is a fantastic press representative and handles them great. Heck, it could be sport for her going out there. Lol But, they do treat her rude and condescending and it needs to stop. She doesn’t deserve that type of treatment from these liars!
Sarah Is the Best Press Sec. we’ve ever had. A Main Position.
Now what – A New Transition ?
About time. The way the press treats people like sh*t then lying about everything 24/7/365. They don’t deserve any briefings. Trump can use twitter and rally’s.
I am happy that our President has discontinued the need, for the fake socialist news, at least for now, from harassing Sarah Sanders, she is a class act, a great news representative, in a grueling and thankless position. Poor Sarah had to go to work day in, day out, just to babysit a bunch of daycare cry babies, who lack the discipline, courtesy, and responsible guidance of their mothers, on how to act like respectful children. Sarah is a great lady, and she definitely didn’t deserve the abusive disrespect of the fake, liberal, socialist main stream media gang. They did nothing but lie through there teeth, with every canned, liberal, propaganda poison they regurgitated, just to whine like the insubordinate, irresponsible children they are . I agree with others, the liberal left news should have had their news pass credentials revoked, and suspended a long time ago, instead of, until further notice. They were a waste of talent, time, and effort, just to be forced to listen to their daily, incendiary, incessant drivel.
Revoke all white house press privileges until the press learns to behave. I’d be tempted start the process of replacing the most obnoxious ones.
Yes dear Sarah………………ignore the liberal=socialist press……..all they want is attention…and
create problems by means of fake news and lies to out President………it is not worth to use your
precious time answering those idiots…….God Bless you Sarah.
President Trump SHOULD suspend all immigration into the US completely until the southern border is “totally secured” for however long that takes. This is an authority the president already has. This would force the Defense Dept (Pentagon) to use military force members along the border to beef up the resources of the Border Patrol. Trump also has this authority because his first responsibility to American citizens is to protect them from all foreign invaders.
Pelosi and the democrat communist party of America need these foreign invaders because they have been using them for decades to vote illegally in every election possible, local and Federal. Illegally voting IS AGAINST THE LAW. There for people involved in allowing and promoting this law breaking by the illegals should be arrested for accomplices and co-conspirators to breaking U.S election laws. Every member of Congress with a “D” following their name that is involved with Pelosi and Schummer should be arrested and sent to Gitmo. The are criminals
Agreed, or the press behaves like they should ( and I mean by the press those irespectful so called “journalists” ) or make it and “end”. Period. An other solution could be to authorize only those who deserve it and make it perhaps once a month and very limited. Shalom.
Trump should start proceedings to deport all 22 million illegals. Maybe then the demonrats will give him border protection when they stand to lose 22 million votes.
