Trump not holding Press Conference

MTAtech said:
Sorry, blurting a statement while entering a helicopter isn't a news conference, which Trump hasn't had in over 300 days. If I was as incoherent as Trump, I wouldn't have news conferences either.

He’s also more accessible than any modern president, Page said. That not only means in talking to reporters but giving daily windows into his temperament of the moment via those mercurial tweets.

Jonathan Karl, the ABC White House reporter, had a surprising comment after Monday’s impromptu press conference by President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell: “I have probably had more opportunities to ask questions of President Trump over the past two weeks than I had of President Obama during the last two years of his presidency.”

No Press Conference to celebrate tax bill. Quick signing before heading to Mar-A-Lago for Christmas. Aides cited media would be mean to him so he shouldn't do it. Instead he rushes off to his golf course to stir up the next weekend faux controversy. Put your phones on DND during Christmas dinner.

Another idiotic thread about a dishonest media outlet about the minutia that nobody cares about.

OH yes, CNN makes up stories about Trump not holding End of the Year Press Conferences. You are doing yourself a disservice if you actually believe that.

Trump is much more accessible to the press and thus to the people because he wants to be, because he is better.

Just because he is accessible does not mean is he telling the truth AKA answering questions properly.

Trump decided at the last minute that he would sign the bill because the press was making a point that he was going to sign it after the first of the year. He is going to have a formal ceremony after the first. CNN makes **** up all the time. I know that you revere CNN but it is YOU that does yourself a disservice by reading that garbage, much less believe it on face value. You even thought it was worthy of a another idiotic spam thread to tard up the forum.

Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office he had planned to wait for a formal signing event in January, but when he saw the news reports pointing out that he had said he'd sign by Christmas, he said he "immediately" called and said to get the bill ready to sign.

Mr. Trump also thanked a list of people for passage of the bill, including McConnell, Ryan, Sens. Rob Portman and Tim Scott, House Ways and Means Chairman, and Kevin Brady. Since none of those lawmakers was present for the signing, the president offered the signing pens to members of the press, especially the cameramen.

Do some freakin research for once.

Being accessible and and saying what you want them to say are two very different things, you are right about that.

When I see you say things like this about yourself, I can hear Sam Elliot in my head from the beginning of the Big Lebowski...substitute Hawkeye for Lebowski and Truth Teller Tribe for "dude".

This
Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
Now, Dude, that's a name no one would
self-apply where I come from. But
then, there was a lot about the Dude
that didn't make a whole lot of sense
to me.

It just seems so fitting.

Aides said this, huh?

Which aides? When? Is there a recording?

Does anyone else ever get tired of this unsourced BS in our news?

Trump haters are so accepting of others. I strive to be just as accepting, all knowing, never wrong, better than everyone, doesn't own a mirror, broad brush painter as a Trump hater. Imagine such a wonderful life of knowing how everyone thinks and feels, and be able to decide with such disdain whether they are worthy of their own opinions. Sounds awesome!

I am not talking about the bill signing. I am talking about the end of the year press conference. Two different things. The end of the year press conference is not the bill signing. They just happen to fall in line next to each other, so it's easy to get confused. It's the first time in 15 years that a President has chosen NOT to do this. Though, one would think Trump would love to brag about the tax bill to the media.

You talk a lot and it rarely makes any sense.

I might pay attention to the missing end-of-the-year press conference had it been the first time in more than 200 years. Now, that would be something worthy of drawing attention to.
But so ... only 15 years ... bah ... it just means he's doing exactly what other presidents before him have done. :)

Nothing special here ... (grin).

Like most bullies, he's actually a pretty big wimp.

When it comes to the press, he's a real alpha Mean Girl on his Twitter feed but actually facing them down in person scares the **** out of him.

If you voted for, and still support either of the two major parties, you have no business calling yourself a free thinker.

well, this may be a start ........ if Trump's staff could some how manage to get Trump to stop posting on Twitter then we could have the potential for the perception of a 'normal' presidency .............. not gonna happen ..........

And all you have to offer is rhetoric, as usual.
 
Why hold a news conference for propagandists imitating journalists and reporting fake news like they were facts? Trump communicates his message just fine without the leftists media filter.
