After the presser yesterday and now that he got his digs in on the MSM, he should disappear and use Spicer to give out just the highlights of a new topic or EO, etc. Give CNN and the types almost nothing to fill their airwaves.

I love what trump is doing but he is feeding their flames. Give them less to chew on and see them starve. Just MAGA in the background and let it bleed through to the media.

Yes. He needs to STFU and start acting like a leader. He can't though. Ego is Yuuuge! Needs to personally tell people how great he is.

Trump does not want to be the center of attention ever.

I disagree. He is driving the narrative when he talks. Just look at last week where he was relatively quiet. It was a disaster.

He presidency will only be successful if Trump continues to be Trump.

I agree.

If I were in his inner circle, I'd advise him to go dark for a week (except for EO's and legislation to sign).

That would drive the MSM nuts wondering what he planned to do next. And while they're wondering what's going on, he makes his next move.

He really cant help himself though. If its not MSM, CNN, etc- its SNL. They will keep him writhing in anger, and tweeting constantly.

Exactly. Not talking about forever, just go small, then in a few weeks POW!!! hit em again with some good statistics, new things he has done, etc. I think that would keep them off their feet then giving them constant fodder to spin to their base.

I don't know. Maybe he was dwelling in some kind of subterranean structure owned by his female parent?

The media is going to have a story no matter what.

That's why I don't get this "war on the media." How do you win a war on the media? Their existence is built into the Constitution.

Go a few steps further. Throw the press out of the briefing room for a month or so and have Spicer's news conference broadcasted to them without the chance for questions.

D'accord. I heard it put this way by a longtime DC insider , in DC you're either on offense or you're on defense. Be the hammer

They have plenty of sources leaking stuff to them to keep them busy. That was the whole point of his temper tantrum yesterday.

Trump treated the press conference like a game. The press see their jobs as of great importance and Trump sees the press conference as way to let off steam almost.

GW Bush got toasted for not responding to MSM attacks; his 'excuse' was that him getting down in the 'dirt' would demean the Office. Big MISTAKE!

Trump will come out ever so often when the MSM/Dem Party public traction becomes a danger to Trump's political hegemony. Preibus was getting worried and distracted with putting out fake news fires. Trump will appear to a National Audience, lay waste, nullify critics and then go back to ramming through Policy. This will be the MO from here on in.
