This morning, President Trump went on a ‘rant’ about Comey and press briefings that had a good many people scratching their heads. Even several on the Right seemed troubled by this latest tweetstorm from the president.
Especially this little nugget:
…Maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future "press briefings" and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy???

Ummm, that’s not how this works.
And Katie Pavlich explained PERFECTLY why that’s not how this works:
No. The whole point of press briefings is that reporters can ask questions of the White House. https://t.co/A8sbvbOWfD

Without questioning, White House written statements are simply government propaganda https://t.co/A8sbvbOWfD

Exactly. This is why these press briefings are so important; and we get it, he’s reacting because he feels that the media is not reporting truthfully on what’s happening at the White House.
We understand his frustration but we don’t understand why he’s choosing to deal with it in this way on Twitter.
Katie does have a solution though:
Here's a compromise: You do the briefings everyday https://t.co/A8sbvbOWfD

Hey, why not? One of Trump’s big campaign points was that he wanted to talk DIRECTLY to the people, which is one of the reasons he’s used in the past for keeping his Twitter.
But then again …
James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!
