“My father loved this place, my uncle loved this place. Nobody knows this, because I’m a history buff, but he was resentful at Dwight Eisenhower for renaming it ‘Camp David’ and if he had made it to his second term, he was going to rename it Shangri-La, which was the original name that Roosevelt had named it,” Kennedy revealed.
“My uncle prided himself on being the most open, transparent admin in history,” he continued. “During his thousand days in office, he had 30 press conferences. You, Mr. President, have press conferences almost every day. You’ve opened the inner sanctum of the presidency for the first time in history and I think that’s a beautiful thing.”
“And you also face, although you’ve given these guys compliments, the most hostile press corps any president had to deal with in history,” he added, gesturing to the press behind the cameras.

What’s kind of crazy is that philosophically – RFK Jr and Trump/Maga have been able to find common ground because the Dem party today is so friggin crazy.

My husband remarked, the other day, how President seems to feel responsible for letting Americans know every day what is going on with our Country. We appreciate this so much. @POTUS

He isn’t wrong. Biden got lost in the walk in closet and was essentially a ghost who barely came out and Spoke to we the people

It’s not really “press”. They are the propaganda machine of the Democratic Party.

I don’t even think 99.9% of the Press Corps should even be there. They’re hostile, dishonest and have no interest in reporting any truth.

So true.. they won’t give an inch, even though Pres Trump is so open and transparent? They’re only there to try and ‘get’ the Pres at every turn!! Its nauseating!
