What does it mean to be “presidential”? Is it presidential to intentionally (and consistently) lie to “We the People” and then “reason” it away as if it doesn’t really matter? Is it presidential to use our Constitution, (the document he/she is sworn to protect BTW), as a doormat? Or maybe it’s presidential to re-write history, then jet around the globe apologizing on behalf of folks you should be defending. I’m just not sure I understand the question.
Look, the majority of the so-called “main stream press” have proven time and again they’re an elitist bunch, with little or no regard for the foundational and essential responsibilities of a free press. Frankly, few even try to disguise their political ideology any longer, offering instead their personal views and opinions as basis for the collective acceptance of whatever they’re spewing. So when Donald Trump let a few reporter folks have it at Trump Tower the other day, a lot of voters quietly, (or not), cheered his “hit em back” philosophy. Subsequently, any “un-presidential” label they may affix to Mr. Trump will likely not stick, as have other attempts by the media types to slow the “Trump Train” fallen away.
FYI news folks, the American people have about had it with the political sludge you-all having been dishing for so long, lots of smoke and mirrors with little in the way of results. Lord knows the 2008 media endorsed “hope and change” bombed worse than the last Sean Penn movie. Now I’m not making any predictions just yet, but the 2016 cycle has a very different feel. And I believe many of the pundits are going to have a lot of crow to eat come November.
