I just turned 30 years old, so I'm not particularly old. However I don't seem to recall any administration which has held a press briefing everyday single, freaking day since coming into office.!!

Everyday Sean Spicer and his face are giving white house press briefings, often times to cover, petty nonsense, do damage control from what tru,p said earlier, or dispute facts. At the end, he always says "see you tomorrow". I don't recall this during Obama or Bush's administrations, and I would bet it was not the case in earlier administration istrations.

Will this ever stop, it's not like Trump is very keen on divulging facts, or very friendly to press, seems more like publicity or to fix some screw from the daily petty gaffes of this president and those around him.

Hands down this is the strangest administration in American history.

What say you?

Yes they have.

It just hasn't been televised on every cable station, every single day like this current administration has.

I agree and I've been following politics since Ike was in office. They are getting televised because #45 is straight up doing crazy stuff that needs explaining.

No need. They have a channel on youtube where you can watch them live or from the past.

JFK used to have town halls, I think it was every week.

There wasn't as much controversy over the President, it was about domestic and foreign affairs.

Before you make a claim like that -- it might help if you do a little research -- lol. At least watch a few episdoes of The West Wing......

The other administrations did not have bi-weekly scandals, gaffes or twitterstorms to explain.

"No Administration Has Held Press Briefings Everyday Like Trump"

If that is true, no doubt it has to do with the fact that they are constantly having to correct their previous briefing which inevitably proves to contain lies and errors.

The president himself, is constantly contradicting his own press secretaries after leading them astray.
