I have to say I am stunned! :shock:
When asked and then further pressed at the end of his national press conference, President-elect Donald J. Trump refused to answer the direct question as to whether or not he or anyone directly connected to him or if anyone from his campaign had any association with Russian intelligence. Trump went on a long rant (once again) about how Russia, China, Japan, Mexico and all other nations would respect America once he became President, but on the question of Russian intelligence associations itself, he outright refused to answer the question even when further pressed after his press conference but before leaving the conference area.
No "no comment", no "I don't know, but I'll look into it"...nothing. He just walked off the stage and refused to answer.
To me, that rebuff/non-answer is more disturbing than the contents of any domestic intelligence report whether compiled by our federal intelligence agencies or some private investigative/consulting firm.
I agree. He said nothing different than he has been saying, bragged about his inauguration, had a lawyer speak about his and his families business dealings, but no one could ask questions of which there are many. It was a joke

Seriously, don't you believe that if ANY evidence existed to link Trump with Russian intelligence, The government would have linked that out and the whole world would know. This is just more attempts to discredit the vote that people put into this man to run this country. It didn't work and it is not going to work.

The inauguration is going to be beautiful. A beautiful event. It's going to be ab-so-lute-ly beautiful. He said so. Repeatedly.
I agree with you assessment. This much anticipated presser was pretty much a flop and a joke. I'd say get used to it. This is what Trump will do for the next 4 years.

Everyday Americans do not care if Carey decides to badly lip sync another performance.
Anybody who believed the press conference would yield anything productive was living in a dream world.
Omg. Who ARE you guys?
Such dishonesty. I can't even imagine why you're on this board pretending to Debate Politics. Why bother? Just hate everything Trump and come back in eight years.
Wait... I thought it was the counties that elected Trump?:2razz:

What? Perhaps you missed the important stuff about how he has set up his company into a trust and the intricate measures he has taken to be completely removed from any perceived conflict of interest. I was personally very impressed by those statements. And there were many, many questions asked and answered. He talked about Replace and appeal Obamacare and how the plan would be released as soon as the secretary was approved. He talked about funding the wall now vs. later and what they were doing to get this started immediately. He talked about the hospitals he's already been speaking with to support his efforts to overall the Veteran's health options. My goodness, you must have been listening to an entirely different news report. Maybe the Clinton News Network?
Have not watched it. May do so later.
Disagree with your conclusion on "productive".
While there may have been no meaningful content come out of Trump's responses, it apparently did provide another opportunity to see his character and behavior on display. And it sounds like neither of those items were particularly attractive.
This guy (The Donald) is a potential loose cannon. And not in a good way....
And again, he talked about the military bands that would be performing. He talked about the crowds - this has always been - all along, about everyday Americans. I suppose you'd like it better if like Obama, it was all about wining and dining the hollywood elite? And don't forget that the media is the one who has put him on the spot about the inauguration. They don't care about this event for the people, just what famous people have turned him down. How sad? They continue to get it wrong - so wrong. Everyday Americans do not care if Carey decides to badly lip sync another performance.
