I don't even understand why reporters show up at this point.
Directives from their republiQan owners
Don't worry, soon they'll stop doing press briefings like they did in the first Trump term, which apparently everyone has forgotten about.
Because not showing up is what the administration wants.
I mean... maybe it's what the overall P2025 movement people want, but I could see Trump losing his goddamn mind if he walked out for a press conference one day and the room was just empty.
Even worse. I don't know why they show up and pretend to be journalists. They are just propaganda mouthpieces anymore. And they have no loyalty to each other as journalists. If one of them gets ignored by the White House they just allow it and move on rather than imagining themselves as the target instead. It's sick. This country is absolutely fucked and the populace is to blame.
