Alexandra Petri's WaPo column on The Press Conference - pdq - 02-16-2017
Just a few tidbits:
News, I am sad to report, continues to occur...
...promises to “put people before government.” In this case, it is literally true. Instead of putting together anything that resembles a government, he is going to an airport in Melbourne to hang out with some … people. I guess?
Trump announced Thursday that “I’ll be in Melbourne, Florida, 5 o’clock on Saturday, and I heard — just heard that the crowds are massive that want to be there.” Trump has on good authority that his crowds will be massive in the future. And they say that the CIA is keeping things from him!
...Paul Manafort explained possible contact with Russian intelligence officers by saying, quite logically, that there was no way to tell you were speaking to a Russian spy, ever. Maybe you are a Russian spy! Maybe we’re all Russian spies. How can we really know, in our heart of hearts, that we aren’t?
...Okay, here is what the Wall Street Journal said Pence has been doing: Trump told him to go see the statue of Douglas MacArthur at West Point, and so he walked out in the freezing cold to see the statue and mimed polishing its shoes. That is the act of a man who is in the loop and has lots of important things to do!
On Wednesday Trump also made waves because, in a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, he appeared to abandon the two-state solution. Or something. “I’m looking at two-state and one-state and I like the one that both parties like,” Trump said, which does not at all sound like the policy equivalent of glancing frantically around the table to see which fork everyone is using.

Unrelated, but in a comment to an opinion piece on Trump by the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp, not Congressional Black Caucus):
It only took Trump 29 days to make America grate again
...and no, I don't think it was a misspelling...
