SUPPORT WTFA ON PATREON

Fisher: Trump got his wish: Press blackout, no questions. Raccoon: Damned shame he had to go to China to get it. Wonder why he can't hold question-free press conferences at home? Fisher: It was at the Chinese insistence there were no questions. It would've been rude to demand otherwise! Raccoon: Plus Vladimir Putin is camera shy. He gets little enough privacy as it is. Fisher: A free press only gets in the way of real business. Raccoon: It's a good thing that's not its main function or we'd be really screwed.

NEW COMIC TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS AND WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

Will no one rid Trump of this meddlesome press? Xi Jinping to the rescue! It's true that President Obama didn't take press questions on his first trip to China but the blowback was so severe he never made that mistake again. The lesson having been learned you'd think that Trump...hahahaha, I almost suggested Trump is capable of learning. Silly me.

I love that Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried to pin it on the Chinese government—"It was at the Chinese insistence there were no questions today"—like whether or not our press is free is up to them. Remember how Trump was supposed to be the tough guy negotiator from Queens who wouldn't take no shit from nobody? Well, Xi Jinping said no, so [rolls over and presents underbelly]

Funny that the press wasn't around—except state organ Fox News, of course—to witness Trump and Putin's chat. Not funny ha-ha, of course.
