Does anyone know when the next daily briefing might happen?

Can anyone remember when the last one took place?
 
The current press secretary has two more DUIs than press briefings......

I don't think there'll be another one. It's been replaced by the Chopper Presser. (but don't worry, the same clowns are there)

It isn't necessary any more to have a news briefing where news outlets get to drive the narrative since Trump makes himself waaaaaay more available directly to people and the media during many appearances each week. First president in a long time who speaks directly to the citizens.

He especially likes the citizens who don't ask any hard questions.
 
Is trump standing on a stool? Pastor Pence looks like he’d rather be anywhere than next to trump. At least Mike knows how to present himself by buttoning up his suit jacket.

It been replaced with pool media and press releases. People like Jim Acosta are making speeches ending in a question mark and stepping on the journalists who have questions pertinent to current events. Why bark at Trump over US events when you are at a pressor in India?

Taking away the camera, takes away their grandstand.

Nice to see you've dismissed our national news outlets as clowns. You have been assimilated.

Tweeting is not the same as where reporters get to ask questions. Tweeting tells your side of the story only. A briefing is where anyone can tune in and actually watch and listen to the questions and answers.

He speaks directly to the citizens because he can't stand the pressure of being questioned. When he is, he lies.

Is it me or do trump's eyelids match his tie?

The press can just make it up. That's what they're going to do, anyway.

In that case wouldn't it be better to have daily briefings so the white house can get their side of the story out? Just saying.

As I read what you and others who support trump write as responses, I'll have to say no. Sorry but I think your condition is permanent.

Sarah Sanders was the first White Press secretary in history to need secret service protection. The problem is not ours, but yours.

I'm not talking about tweeting. Donald Trump speaks to people, answers questions, and gives way more time to the press as he is traveling, boarding helicopters and planes, or during any number of other functions. The White House briefing had become a forum for many bad behaving journalists to grab some face time for their respective news agencies--- and for their own ratings. They were acting worse and worse, so they got cut off and that is fine.
 
A competent, unbiased and professional press corps. Remember it?

The best thing I can say about this trump administration is that it’s Bipolar Manic Depressive with an unhealthy dose of Obsessive Compulsion Disordwr.

IT blames market losses on DEMs; IOW, he’s a congenital Liar; IT Distorts; he has Mussolini Non-Verbals, Carnival Barker, Incompetent, Illiterate, Corrupt, Manipulates Stock Market for Mara-a-Lago buds.

I can’t listen to just about any of this live stuff — debates — anything from individual one — like the SOTU — my vitals just can’t handle it at my age of 66 — it’s on mute — I’ll wait for the lowlights later —

The last official press briefing in the briefing room was held by Sarah Sanders on March 11, 2019.

Comforting to know nothing worth reporting has been happening since then.
