I suppose it's well and good to have White House correspondents from major news organizations like CNN, the BBC and NBC News sparring with Comrade Donny during his so-called press conferences. But, that's not where the real journalistic work needs to be done.
We need deep reporting from investigative reporters who have the time, expertise and resources to uncover the truth. It's that truth that is likely to bring down the Trump presidency.
In the meantime, Trump will continue to work his con, because he is indeed very skilled at manipulating the conversation, disarming his perceived enemies, dissembling the truth and selling his snake oil to willing customers.
Ranting about the egregious nature of his personality and the outrageousness of his actions is, in some manner, just pissing in the wind.
We need hard and fast evidence that Trump colluded with Russian President Vladimir Putin or is otherwise in the control of Putin or other Russian oligarchs. That would be grounds for impeachment.
So, while the press corps chases Trump-inspired mini-crises, all of which are mostly distractions, the 'United Republican Government' is fast at work at decimating health care access, environmental protections and fair taxation.
And Trump's consigliere team, Bannon & Miller, are at work trying to blow up the establishment to bring forth radical changes that conform to their perverted world views.
Lastly, Trump's cabal of wealthy business executives, whom he has installed on private councils that have no governmental oversight, are also busy making plans to mold our economy to their financial benefit.
So, yeah, it's cool to stand up and challenge Trump's hyperbole and insults in public press conferences. But, that is not doing the real job of reporting how this administration, its puppets and its puppeteers, are molding the future of our country and the world.
Dear press corps: Please do you job.
