- serf 10y agoyou're right. Trump should have just reduced the amount of chairs available and warned the folks he liked, like Obama did. Right? God forbid a president do something straight forward without making up reasons as to why it is a noble action. I agree it's wrong, but I'm not willing to give a pass to another president because he worded it differently and achieved the same ousting.
- neilellis 10y agoCheck the date on that article. He wasn't president.

- addicted 10y agoAre you comparing seats on a plane to seats in a press briefing room?
- agildehaus 10y agoObama wasn't president when this happened. This wasn't Air Force One they couldn't fly on. Limited space without the logistical capacity to bring in another plane seems a perfectly valid excuse to me.
- choogle 10y agodid you even read the article, he was a candidate at the time and booted people who supported his opponent, how is that the same as the sitting president doing the same thing?
- asynchronous13 10y agoThere is significant difference between the press crew that travels with a candidate during the campaign and an official white house press briefing.
