I regret to inform President-Elect Donald Trump that for the next four years he cannot expect any support from the press, especially the big syndicates back east like The Washington Post and The New York Times; they elected Hillary as queen and president even before the speeches began, and here Trump came along and defeated her when they all said she had a 94 percent chance of winning. Trump made them all look like the south end of a north-bound donkey; they will not forget that and so nothing he says or does will ever be enough to satisfy them.
I, for one, am tired of all their ranting and raving in the broadcast and printed news; I just tune them out like all the other Americans who did not vote for Hillary; the political news reports and reporters have lost their credibility with me. I have written to pundits and asked them to report on something useful; like tell me and America some of the personal history of all the prisoners (over 1,000) that Obama is releasing, especially those who were supposed to be serving life terms (over 100); or tell us what the Obama administration is doing to help curb all the murders in Chicago (over 700 this past year); or at least tell us how many people from the Middle East have immigrated to America this past year (Obama wanted 185,000). I got no journalist-takers on researching and discussing this information. So I want to recommend that Mr. Trump bypass the press entirely and think about publishing a newsletter with his letterhead and his signature to keep the public informed. But make sure it can’t be hacked or changed.
