Trump should switch to Netflix if he doesn’t like the coverage he’s getting

Yesterday’s White House news briefing turned out to be quite cordial, but you could tell the debate over the audience count at the inauguration still struck a nerve with the president.

Ross: Did President Trump really imply divine intervention in the weather?

President Trump’s spokesman, Sean Spicer, said it isn’t fair that reporters are constantly disparaging his accomplishments.

“I think it’s important. It’s not just about a crowd size. There is this constant theme to undercut the enormous support that he has,” Spicer said.

And this episode teaches us something, I think. It teaches us that it’s never enough.

You can be rich, famous, and powerful. But it’s never enough.

Donald Trump lived like Louis XIV in a Manhattan penthouse, with his wife and children and flocks of French cherubs, and it wasn’t enough.

So he went out and did what no one has done before — without running for governor, mayor, city council, or the condominium board — he outsmarts and out-organizes the political elites of both parties. Now he has more power, over more people, than Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, and even Meryl Streep.

Yet all that is still not enough. Because he couldn’t draw a bigger crowd than Obama got in 2009. Well, you know what? Look at the numbers from the 2013 inauguration and you’ll find that even Obama couldn’t beat Obama’s first inauguration.

“But when you’re constantly getting told we doubt you can do this, this won’t happen, and that’s the narrative when you turn on the television every single day. It’s a little frustrating,” Spicer continued.

I think anyone who watches TV knows that feeling. I have one word of advice, Mr. President: Netflix.

Problem solved.
