Whoever proposed it didn’t get the job as press secretary.

Trump’s attacks on the mainstream media were a cornerstone of his campaign and last week he called BuzzFeed a “failing pile of garbage,” but forcing reporters to undergo random drug tests would provoke a media meltdown.

The pee-in-a-cup proposal (yellow journalism indeed) was one of 13 ideas one candidate for White House press secretary wrote in November in a confidential memo to members of the Presidential Transition Team’s Executive Committee.

He didn’t get the job, and I am not naming him because his proposal could harsh the mellow of his fellow journalists.

Sean Spicer, who was spokesman for the Republican National Committee, is Trump’s press secretary, and told me, “I support whatever security measures are recommended by the Secret Service.”

    Drug testing is just an excuse to get rid of someone. If they can do their job what difference does it make if the smoked a joint last weekend?

    On that thought, Hier Dumph should be the first to pee in a cup. I believe he is into urination.

    Well we wouldn’t want any pot smokers covering the antics of a sex offender, now would we.

    Don’t know what’s funnier, the story or the comments. So predictable.

      Republicans just striped 20 millllion Americans from their health care insurance.

      Lets make the reporters pay for the drug tests.

    If we could find a justification to drug test journalists surely we could apply that to elected or appointed officials …???

      not a bad idea – ignore him totally – treat him as a non entity, an ineffectual fool. He’ll have a breakdown and blisters on his fingers.

    No need for a WH press corp. Nothing out of the Trump gang ever means anything. Why bother reporting on it? Just let us know when they actually do something. So when I know when the lock the hatch on the bunker.

    They should start with the hottest drop in the room standing behind the podium.

    A hair sample test wouldn’t hurt either
