It was an extraordinary 75 minutes. A press conference that will go down in history.
Why was it so great? Trump and the media just had it out for over an hour.
It was real, it was human, it was non-scripted. It was a refreshing break from Obama’s ass kissing, teleprompter discussions with the media.
It was honest, real, and completely engaging.

Matt Drudge summed it up perfectly in this tweet. This was America’s president taking on the corporate media. Game on!
Corporate media do not represent the people, they represent their shareholders…
