Trump floats canceling White House press briefings
By Max Greenwood - 05/12/17 08:17 AM EDT


President Trump defended on Thursday morning the slew of contradictions in the White House's account of FBI Director James Comey's firing, suggesting he might cancel "all future 'press briefings'" in the name of accuracy.

"As a very active President with lots of things happening, it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with perfect accuracy!...."

"...Maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future "press briefings" and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy???"

"Accuracy" now means keeping the lies straight?

I had to check twice to make sure this wasn't satire.

Yep, he's a busy OLD guy.


BTW" If his "surrogates" had any brains or conscience, they'd be hightailing it out of 1600.

The media gets no real news from spicer's whimpering babbles.

Maybe the media would do a better job of going out and finding out stuff instead of always filling the news with whatever trump wants to flash in front of them.

Nothing spicer or trump says is the truth anyway.
