A shot across the bow...

The laughable liberal Press thought they had Trump on the run here. They were likely expecting to put the President through a genuine pressure cooker. Make him sweat. Make his stutter. Force him into mistakes. Attack him from all angles, like a pack of coyotes converging on prey. This was going to be a blood bath. Russia this, chaos that, etc, etc...

Maybe they could get him to cry if they were just mean enough...

Coyotes howl and regroup after tough loss...

Sorry folks.  Donald Trump is not going to roll over and play dead. He will not play defense. He will not allow the Press to dictate terms. He will not give up the bully pulpit. You hit Donald Trump. He will hit back. He showed the press that Donald Trump is in charge, not them.

The best thing about it? HIS SUPPORTERS LOVED IT! They were cheering from rooftops like all those Muslims on 9/11 [sic]. Moreover, his performance has seemed to revive many who had become somewhat taken in by all of bad media attention, wondering when and how Trump would respond. Ironically, his response was probably what we should have expected but still didn't. But think about it. What are people talking about this morning? Yeah, the Donald has manipulated the talking points once again. 

My guess is that his next press conference will be a rating banana. I'd recommend you clear your schedule, pour a drink, pop some popcorn, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
