Years ago I was involved in some financial litigation. In those days deposition practice was rough and ready. One of the opposing lawyers was a real jerk. Constantly made frivolous objections and threw tantrums about anything he could imagine. One of the lawyers on our side knew how to handle him. He simply let him rant, did not respond and then continued. This drove the other guy crazy.
As usual, yesterday Trump held a press conference and all the networks obligingly televised it. This for some strange reason is called earned air time. What needs to be done is that when Trump calls his press conferences they should not be televised. The networks can be there to get soundbites but do not give him free air time. Then, the networks could air whatever sound bites they find it necessary accompanied by intelligent comment. Comments such as " once again Trump had no specific plans for the economy, trade practice, foreign relations, and the like." He never does. Instead of giving him free airtime, simply expose him for the bloviating buffoon that he is.
