Trump Went Out To Dinner with His Family, and The Media Melts Down

Last night, Donald Trump took his family out to dinner in New York.  He went without alerting the media.  In fact, once the reporters found out where Trump had gone, they were not allowed into the restaurant when they got there.  So Trump ignored the demands of the media for never-ending coverage and had a family dinner.

That doesn't sound like much, does it.  The response from the mainstream media, however, was hysteria.  They announced that Trump was attacking the First Amendment freedom of the press.  Really, some actually said that.  These people who spend their days attacking Trump non-stop with stories that are frequently completely untrue are now offended that Trump went out to dinner and did not tell them.  How dare he!

My guess is that it will soon dawn on these media people that they really aren't that important anymore.  Normally, a new president does not want to offend the media because he does not want to lose their support.  It's too late for that.  The mainstream media just spent many months doing all it could to defeat Trump, but he still won.  Now, the relationship with the media will move forward on Trump's terms.  He will not cut them out, but their needs will no longer dictate anything.

For the country, it's a big victory.
