Wow.  It was like nothing the media and the public has seen before.  At least not in anyone’s memory.  And yet it was a throw back to the way all contemporary President’s have held press conferences.  From President Kennedy through Bill Clinton and W. Bush.  Unlike Obama’s taking 6-7 questions from pre arranged reporters, Trump took close to 20 questions. Blunt as always.  Succinct, direct, informative, defiant, combative and entertaining would sum it up.  Well organized with opening statements from his press secretary and a thorough explanation from an attorney representing the prestigious law firm of Morgan and Lewis explaining Trump’s divesting himself of all control of his massive business empire.  For the record, Trump said all monies from foreign countries staying at his hotels would go to the U.S. Treasury.

Some bullet points: Most important was the total condemnation of a blog called Buzzfeed, with no supporting evidence, in saying Russia had compromising information on Trump’s personal life, financial matters even going to the extent of saying his associate, Michael Cohen, had been to Prague, Czechoslovakia to meet with Russian leaders.  CNN, and only CNN, had been exploiting this story endlessly with no verification.  The New York Times, and all other networks refused to cover this report as fact likely leaked by U.S. intelligence sources.  CNN even mistakenly found another person named Michael Cohen.  The real Cohan proved he has never been to Prague.  Jacksjargon feels strongly, if you watch cable news, stick with Fox or even liberal biased MSNBC.  Never CNN desperate from poor ratings.  NBC’s Morning Joe refused to validate any of the CNN story.  Trump thanked media for not reporting this “fake news.”  But, openly refused to taking any question from a CNN persistent reporter shouting repeatedly to ask a question.  He called them a disgrace.  “I have no deals with Russia. I have no deals forthcoming with Russia. I have no loans with Russia.” said Trump.

Elsewhere…The wall…to be built fast as possible not waiting for eventual reimbursement from Mexico.  But, they will pay.  There will be a huge “border tax” upon any company that moves their companies to Mexico.  Drug prices are over priced says Trump.  He will open competition from other companies.  The VA has a new director who will be working with the head of the Cleveland Clinic with additional assistance from the Mayo Clinic.  Trump wants immediate repeal of Obamacare and a replacement at the same time.  In addition to saving nearly 1,000 jobs from Carrier leaving, Trump has Ford Motor company to build a new plant in Michigan.  Also Fiat/Chrysler has agreed to new plants in the USA.   Trump friends with Russia’s Putin?  “It could be an asset.”  “But does anybody really think Hillary Clinton would be tougher on Russia than me?”  Referring to her silly reset button.

Let’s face it.  There never has been a President anywhere near the likes of Donald Trump.  The press will be endless with looking for any scandal or inconsistency with anything he or his administration does.  And, surely they will always find something to make headlines.  And, of course, more fake news.  CNN won’t stop.  He’s right.  They are a disgrace.   But what does the average American think or feel.   They care next to nothing about President Trump divesting his empire properly.  As long his compliance lawyers keep matters in check.  His dealings with Russia?   So what.  Most administrations have unsuccessfully tried.  What they truly care about is good paying new jobs returning to America.   That we are as safe as possible from harm countries and terrorists.   That illegals immigrants stop flowing in and getting U.S. welfare, housing and education benefits.  Lower energy costs likely when Trump begins using all energy sources.  We have tons of oil and gas that Obama has kept us from extracting still wasting time and thought upon environmental  matters which simply are worthless so long as China, Russia and India won’t comply.  And there is absolute certainty there is no scientific evidence, as yet, that proves man kind is responsible for global warming.

America is in for leadership, controversial as is, that will help their lives.  That’s why he is our next President.  And Trump has the smarts to know how to get around the negative press and get through to millions.  Plus there are millions more Trump supporters.  They just don’t know it yet.  As for Obama….don’t let the door hit you on your way out.
