President Trump rose from the ashes of Mike Flynn at his press conference last Thursday.  In a bravura performance, defiant and funny at times, the President took on the presstitutes en masse.

It is a performance that should not be missed.  You can savor both video and transcript at your leisure here.

The press

Trump: "Unfortunately, much of the media in Washington, D.C., along with New York, Los Angeles in particular, speaks not for the people, but for the special interests and for those profiting off a very, very obviously broken system. The press has become so dishonest that if we don't talk about it, we are doing a tremendous disservice to the American people. Tremendous disservice. We have to talk to find out what's going on because the press honestly is out of control. The level of dishonesty is out of control."  Sounds like what many "progressives" have been saying for a mighty long time, and it deserves resounding applause from them.

Trump: "And I'll tell you what else I see. I see tone. You know the word "tone." The tone is such hatred. I'm really not a bad person, by the way. No, but the tone is such — I do get good ratings, you have to admit that — the tone is such hatred."
