#1 But you are not the press. Not in the consitutional sense of the word. You are the Propaganda arm of the Democratic Party.

#2 Dear US Press Corps,
Thank you for your recently sent open letter explaining your position with respect to this upcoming administration. Yes, there is a very real strained relationship between some of you and me as a candidate and now as President elect. Yes there is freedom of the press, but some of you equate freedom with licence. For every bit comes an equal amount of responsibility. In this you have failed and betrayed the trust of the people of this great country.

When I have a press conference I expect basic decorum as respect for the Office of the President and respect for my boss, the American People. You will behave as Ladies and Gentlemen or you will be shown the door. This is how we will do business from now on.

A number of you have betrayed the trust of the public and STILL DO NOT GET IT. I owe you nothing and nothing you will get. Those of you can FOAD. You in this catagory are beyond redemption and will be ignored. For the rest of you I look forward to an honest businesslike relationship as we move ahead.

Sincerely,
President-Elect Donald J. Trump

#3 A more authentic response, AP, would (IMO) be: "Kish mir in tuches".

#4 I'd prefer something more authentically Vulgar American - 'OK, right after you eat the peanuts out of my shit'.

After all, according to these clowns, Trump is vulgar; might as well play to type...

#6 While the Constitution protects the freedom of the press

Yes it does, that is the free flow of information. Your institution the 'Press' did not exist back then to obstruct, manipulate, bury said information as it does today.

#7 You’ve ridiculed a reporter who wrote something you didn’t like because he has a disability.

Offer us one tiny shred of proof that Trump knew this reporter was disabled before mocking him.

#8 In regards to #7, this is why people don't trust the MSM anymore. You invent these little fictions and keep repeating them over and over as if it is dogma so that anyone who has the slightest doubt is a politically incorrect heretic. But you lie and people are beginning to get wise.

#9 #7 IMO, most reporters are disabled - no moral sense.

#10 At least prostitutes have standards.

#11 Someone needs to get him some clogs and teach him some rhythm.

#12 IIRC back in the early days newspapers were masters of BS then too--Explicitly partisan and not averse to making stuff up. Of course there was generally more than one party represented.

#13 If I had Trump's ear, I'd suggest his administration file antitrust suits against all of the media conglomerates. The resultant screams could be heard on Mars.
