President Trump made
his first appearance of the new year in the White House briefing room during today’s
press conference. However, he only appeared on-screen.
White House Press Secretary
Sarah Sanders introduced the President as a "special guest" before
starting a pre-recorded video message delivered to reporters via two screens
flanking the briefing podium.
Mr. Trump's message
praised the economic benefits of the tax overhaul bill.
"The historic tax
cut I signed into law just two weeks ago before Christmas is already delivering
major economic gain. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are seeing larger
paychecks, bigger bonuses and higher pension contributions and it's all because
of the tax cuts and tax reform."
The digital message
meant the president did not take questions from reporters who were hellbent to
bombard him with questions about the salacious new book by Michael Wolff, “Fire
and Fury: Inside Trump’s White House”.
WH Press Secretary
Sarah Sanders dismissed the work as "a book full of lies" and called
it "tabloid gossip. I don't really think Americans care about some trash by
an author no one had ever heard of until today or a fired employee.”
There’s nothing like a
little presidential trollery to make the press run in circles shrieking like
hens who’ve been trained at hen school to run in circles and shriek at a little
presidential trollery. Anyone who’s paid
attention to this President understands he uses his belligerent New York sense
of humor to tease and annoy anyone he finds to be a puffed-up fake or blowhard
whether it’s Kim Jong Un, the Iranian mullahs or CNN’s Jim Acosta and Brian
Stelter. But the press doesn’t seem to
get the joke. It’s hard for them to see
Trump clearly without removing their heads from their ass.
NOTE: That last paragraph was appropriated from the
inimitable Andrew Klavan.
