So, you're going to ignore evidence and just spew your hateful pablum?

Liberals need to feed their TDS.

Press briefings is like a good hit of heroin to a junkie

He should be able to stand up and answer the tough questions like Bush and Obama rather than hiding behind Twitter. He could at least send out Grisham for an hour every few months, what are they afraid of. Much tougher situations the prior two administrations, he needs to come forward like other presidents.

Benghazi, resurgence of ISIS after Iraq withdrawal, Libya, riots over police shooting of black man in Missouri, defeat in mid-terms, beheading of journalist to name a few.

Ok--have it your way. The evidence is that there is no press secretary and there are no press briefings. Kind of hypocritical to insult me for insulting Trump. Throwing in one or two examples, which are basically Trump sending his cabinet out to lie is not evidence.

Doesn't sound like you know much about the job !!! It entails more than press briefings !!!

As there are no press briefings, why are taxpayers picking up $170K/year salary for a press secretary.

Good grief, the federal deficit has doubled. Paying people who don't do the job is a poor way to spend money.

And the obvious question is how much of our tax dollars are being paid out for the “Press Secretary” salary?

Unfortunately, he is simply unwilling & unable to stand up period full stop.

Unwilling because it would expose him to unwanted scrutiny. Unable because his unwillingness to be held accountable to the people is indefensible.
