Javier Milei is one of the bright spots in the political world right now. He's a free-market economist in a part of the world overrun by socialists, he's dynamic and charismatic-- and he has great hair. But he doesn't talk to the Argentine media much, preferring to take his case directly to the Argentine people via social media.

That may be changing. His administration is now considering taking the question straight to the voters as to which reporters should be allowed to ask President Milei questions - and appeared to make a joke about whether he should have a "mute button" to press if they get carried away:

Argentina's presidency said it is considering asking voters to decide which journalists should cover President Javier Milei's events and is also mulling a "mute" button to silence overly persistent reporters.

Asked on Wednesday about reports that the presidency was considering a "mute" button in the press room, Milei's spokesman Manuel Adorni initially denied it, then said, half-jokingly, that it "wouldn't be bad."

"When you go a bit too far I would press the button, especially when you don't want to hand over the mic," he said.

"When you repeat your question so many times your own colleagues feel you're taking time away from them, it wouldn't be a bad thing," he added.

That's not the worst idea ever. One wonders if President Trump should be given such a button, and it would be interesting to see what use he might make of it--although, that would be less entertaining than some of his responses to the more persistent and annoying members of the legacy media.

Is that the best solution for Trump - a mute button? Let's look at some alternatives.

1) Trap doors. These would have to be concealed, with the chairs in the White House briefing room carefully placed over them. If any member of the legacy media gets too carried away, with the push of a button, they get plunged through the floor and into... well, not a pool full of piranhas or crocodiles or anything like that. We're not savages. But a slide that puts them out on the street seems in order.

2) Ejection seats. As above, only instead of dropping through the floor, they are catapulted through the ceiling, to be caught in a net by the Secret Service, then escorted off the grounds.

3) The classic theatrical tradition of a big hook from stage right. Or, in the case of most of the legacy media, stage left would be more appropriate. This one appeals to me as it actually happened to me once; it was in my one and only foray into karaoke, after I sang "Danger Zone" six times. I had, you see, exceeded the allowed number of Loggins.

I'll show myself out.
