Does it seem reporters are finally taking on Trump?

Or, maybe it's because I very, very rarely watched him speak in the past.

It seemed for the first few years, the reporters tried to be more respectful—or were almost fearful of being kicked out.

Now they look to be taking him on—even interrupting him as he spews a lie-filled reply (I recall one of them had a smile on her face as she interrupted him a few times). I keep hoping one will just get his temper up and he'll turn into a cussing fool in front of the cameras.

Again, it may be because I can't stomach watching him pucker his lips and talk, so I rarely watched these videos before.

Keeps me from going ballistic.

This nightmare is Trump's fault.

How many would be dead in America if Obama was still president?

Ask any Republican, and get a dumb look.

the White House Press Corp operates. It is a pecking order based on Seniority and which so called News Outlet they work for. When the day is done,they usually gather at a favorite Watering Hole to discuss how their reports did via the ratings,and their will be White House Staffers rubbing elbows with these so called Reporters.

If one thinks the Press Corp is about to do hard core reporting,for get that idea,it is all about access to the LIAR in Chief.
