Press briefings were just for the press to grandstand and then write a book about it. Trump is talking to them every day except that they are not on camera and have to shout their questions over the hiss of the Marine One. That's how I like it.
Twitter is just pure one sided messaging from the sender, he can say whatever he wants unchallenged. If GW Bush could have press conferences through out his 8 years then Trump can certainly do the same. Shouting for 5 minutes over a helicopter is not a professional medium and he only presents his side of the story. Why cant he answer the most simple question instead of going off the deep end as he did with the meeting with the Finland Prime Minister.
I agree with Goodnight. Basically, Trump can't take the heat. He is not going to give the press a chance to ask hard questions because he just isn't smart enough to give cogent answers, and knowing that he has responded poorly would be way to bruising to his fragile ego. So he tweets in the middle of the night when no one can correct or question him.
why should he hold a conference, all the media going do is attack him, the media dug their own hole on this one
