Trump avoids American journalists while in international spotlight.

Trump avoids American journalists while in international spotlight.
Apparently trump feels so much more comfortable dealing with journalists from a rival power noted for lack of press freedom than journalists from the free press of the country of which he happen to be president, that he broke long standing diplomatic protocol during a joint conference with the president of France that stipulates the heads of state in joint press conferences should address journalists from the those two countries, and instead called on Chinese journalists instead.

Perhaps he is looking for a fortune cookie afterwards to tell him where his presidency is destined to end up. Perhaps he also meant to call on journalists from Tass but none were available.

Donald is doing what any autocrat worth their salt does and is phasing out media that opposes him. Another example of this would be Vladimir Putin gaining executive control of Russian televised media within a year of assuming the presidency in 2000.

He must be proud to inhabit a private little world where the free press of his own country is "fake news", where as the state controlled press of an authoritarian power that sends dissenting journalists to "Re-education" camps is to be trusted.

The man who inhabits such a private little world is the leader of the free world and final arbiter of where to explode half of the world's nuclear arsenal.

He leads only America, the rest of the world has moved on.

This thread might be the first recorded usage of the words "TASS" and "journalists" in the same sentence.

Next step will be granting exclusive interviews with North Korean journalists. Trump will expound on his admiration for the way Dear Leader consolidated his power.
