Donald Trump's press conference on February 16th 2017 has already assumed legendary status both among his supporters and his detractors. According to a poll organised by Lead Stories it appears people are deeply split over what happened exactly. Among people with an opinion it appears half of them think Trump did great while the other half say the press did great with almost nobody thinking they both did great:

It's almost like people were watching a different press conference. Just compare some of the tweets that appeared after it was over:

Trump is already head of state. After that press conference, in my eyes, he's now head of church.

To give you an idea how Trump's press conference went, afterwards, the press corps demanded a safe space.

The story ISN'T the press conference. It isn't his attack on the press. It's that Trump has no problem w/ Flynn talking sanctions w/ Russia.

And that press conference, GOP friends, is why you should defend the IC when Trump tries to purge the agents who know the truth about Russia

Amazing Press conference by @realDonaldTrump @POTUS He calls out alt-left propaganda media for never ending lies. A total beat down!

I've built a following as half an onion that can talk & somehow that press conference was the most preposterous thing I've ever experienced.

Trump just shattered the record for most lies in one press conference, breakin' the previous record also held by Donald Trump.

POTUS says he "owned them" regarding press conference. However, was not amused afterward when someone pointed out Obama's 332 in 2012.
