The rules are because Trump does not like questions the press gives him. Eh well it will all reverse whenever we get a Dem in the Whitehouse and it is Fox being booted.

Then again if I were Trump I would simply do the kiddie count. "Pass the mic
1
2
3

Okay microphone has not been passed, that ends today's presser. Have a nice day."
Walk away.

Dont like Trump but he is making this way too complicated.

And do they also apply to Trump or is he free to act like the jackass he generally acts like?

That word must be tripping them up.

It's certainly one Trump doesn't understand and/or practice.

As far as I'm concerned, when he starts calling reporters names they should be allowed to throw it right back at him, it's not like he's a King or a Crown Prince although he likely fantasizes about the ability to permanently silence journalists he doesn't like.

Does anyone really pay any attention to the White House briefings? Or for that matter, to anything that comes out of Trump's mouth or from his random tweets?

At first it was all a novelty, and Trump accomplished his goal of having the whole world hanging on his every word, his next reality show tirade.

But now that has backfired because people understand clearly that listening to Trump is a waste of time. Half of what he says are easily disprovable lies, and half of it is blustering and bragging and grandstanding.

Point is that press "briefings" with Trump are a joke. Old rules or new rules, it's just another opportunity for Trump to toss out red meat for his base, it has ZERO to do with informing the citizens that he supposedly represents.

You'd be a far better person if you had Trump's mental toughness.
He exercises extreme delusions. He lives in his own make believe world. I live in the real world and believe in science, among many other things.

You'd improve by 10-fold if you had Trump's mental toughness.
Oh please. Trump spent his whole life papering over his poor decisions by lying and bullying and, if that fails, throwing inherited money at the problem. He is a walking lack of mental strength and fortitude.

Science frequently contradicts itself unfortunately.

Well I've never seen anybody publicly vilified more than Trump is.
And I find it very hard to believe other people could respond with such uncompromising fortitude if they faced what Trump faces everyday.
Nobody has been better.

White House -- "Don't ask us any tough questions that might make us look bad in anyway." LOL
