Does he answer questions from objective journalists at those 'packed houses?'

I suppose you could chalk it up to secrecy, but my guess is that he's terrified at the prospect of having to answer a lot of direct questions from all comers, without being able to just restrict himself to Fox.

At the time, the Guardian said: This press conference is proof Donald Trump will never be presidential.

Donald Trump is too dumb to engage the press like Sarah Sanders. Donald Trump hides behind Twitter and that's sad.

And liberal media just can't stand it. They are supposed to tell the people what the president ment, how can they do that if he just tells the people straight out? The left is going crazy because Trump is interfering with them putting their spin on what he says because the people hear it directly. They REALLY can't stand that he does more than pander to his base like Obama did. What did Obama ever do that benefited over 80% of the people like Trumps tax cut? Nothing.

What objective journalists? Liberal media doesn't have any journalists at all, just partisan political activists with a press pass.

Go to the White House youtube channel. There are loads of videos of Trump speaking to the press informally, before meetings or on the way to Marine One helicopter (often for as long as fifteen minutes) or when foreign dignitaries visit, formally in the White House. Trump has allowed the press to observe entire Cabinet meetings and other meetings. Did Obama ever allow that? Even presstitutes say this White House is more transparent than Obama's secretive cabal.

Presidential press conferences are not entirely staffed with liberal media.

Give us a name of someone you consider to be an "objective Journalist" and then we will talk.

Yes Indeed. Corrupt MSM hates to even acknowledge that Trump fills up stadiums with supporters.

Democrat & Leftist Logic.
  • Trump doesn't hold press conference -> "Trump is afraid of the public."
  • Trump holds YUGE rally For The Public, place is packed -> "Those people don't matter".
Call me crazy, well some of you have, but I'm not seeing a winning strategy here for Trump's opponents.

#MAGA!

Do you have anything to back up that assertion? Personally, I tremendously admired the Guardian for that.

You may well be correct that no Democrat can fill a venue like Trump. However, you have to keep two things in mind. First, that it's been shown that some attendees were paid. Second, Trump is, after all, foremost a showman. He's a bad businesses, a horrifying president, and an awful human being. But he's a good showman, in the Barnum sense of "a sucker born every minute." So, yes, he can fill a venue with people who are happy to hear his rambling bragging, hate-mongering rants.
