Trump considers abolishing daily press briefing

TIL Desk/World/Washington/ President Donald Trump has said that it is a “good idea” to abolish daily White House briefing, a viewpoint which has been opposed by the White House Correspondents’ Association. “Unless I have them every two weeks and do it myself, we won’t have them. I think it’s a good idea,” Trump told.

He was responding to questions on his early morning tweets in which he had mooted the idea of doing away with the daily press conference, a decades old tradition at the White House.

Describing himself as a very active President, Trump explained that at time it become very difficult for his surrogates to explain things with perfect accuracy to reporters at the news conference.

The media often criticises inaccuracies and discrepancies.”As a very active president with lots of things happening, it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with perfect accuracy!….,” Trump said in a series of tweets as he defended his spokespersons, who in the past few days have been seen quite often contradicting multiple times.
