Trump will probably end all Whitehouse press conferences.

The baby will throw a temper tantrum. Trump is like a broken record.

1. That would be a blessing! n/t

2. They're useless anyhow.

No useful information is ever obtained from them; they're just another way for the WH to disperse lies.

[treestar]

6. +1

They have turned it into a propaganda opportunity and that's it.

[MineralMan]

3. He'll fire that judge! Oh...wait...he can't do that...

[HipChick]

5. Lol!...

What a circus..

8. I'm waiting for the time when the Supreme Court issues a ruling against him

or something he wants, and the opinion is written or signed by Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. And that's bound to happen sooner or later, because those two are textualists/originalists - but Trump thinks the law is whatever he wants it to be. He'll pitch a gigantic hissy fit, accuse them of disloyalty and try to fire them. It will be fun to watch.

4. I doubt it,

Trump is in love with the sound of his own voice.

[shanny]

7. how many has he attended, 3?

hardly a factor

[gratuitous]

10. I think the number is 2

He had one shortly after inauguration, then didn't hold another one until shortly after the mid-terms. He's had the quick "availabilities" while waddling over to Marine One, but only two actual press conferences. After the way the last one went, he's probably not anxious to hold another.

[shanny]

14. "waddling" ftw

[duforsure]

9. He wants it to be HIS press

And no one else's where he dictates what he wants written, which would then be all his lies or he wouldn't let you work there anymore.

[mitch96]

11. Yup, like a spoiled kid taking his marbles home cause he can't win..

stupid.

12. I think that thing about him tiring of Hannity's softball Qs is correct

President Big Boy likes fighting with the press. He deliberately called on Acosta just so he could get all het up.

[lagomorph777]

13. The press pool should skip the briefings and move on to actual reporting.

No need to provide an audience for Trump's lies. We aren't listening anyway.
