President-Elect Donald Trump went out to a steakhouse for dinner with his family this evening, and a wounded media completely melt down because they were not invited:
New York – Donald Trump ditched his press entourage to eat dinner with his family in a famous New York steak house – and was met with a standing ovation.
Trump slipped away from the press pack that usually follows him to dine at the exclusive 21 Club, located four blocks from Trump Tower.
It’s the first time he’s left the tower since he returned from Washington, DC on Thursday, and his surprise visit was met with applause from diners at 21 Club (link)
Media meltdown:
So Trump ditched his press pool tonight to grab a steak dinner– a terrible violation of protocol that his defenders will probably cheer

Looks like Trump went out for dinner tonight — but the president-elect's press pool was not notified, so journalists are not on the trip https://t.co/p2g5X7j8Tg

He probably just wanted to spare everyone from having to read a dozen articles about how he cuts his steak in an anti-Semitic manner: pic.twitter.com/EtlUtuWO3i
