Press Conf.

Yesterday was more than 1) how tRUMP treated Acosta at the press conference, and how he was just plain rude (and, I mean that it was tRUMP that was rude, not Acosta!), and more than 2) it starting to look like the press is going to be silenced during this administration. Those 2 things are bad enough, but on top of all that, the press conference shows just how tRUMP can't analyze situations properly. He conflated CNN's actions with Buzzfeed's actions! That's pretty scary! We have seen his lack of serious analytical skills before, but when this happened yesterday, the media should have jumped all over it. There was some talk, but not enough. This is a serious issue! Trump is going to screw us over when he ties the thinking of 2 different countries together even if the two thoughts aren't even related to each other!!
