Trump leaves for Mar-a-Lago without holding an end-of-the-year press conference, breaking a tradition set by recent presidents. Trump has had just one official solo press conference this year. That was on February 16.

Brian you are a smart guy. Tell me you get why ostensibly superficial things like using the phrase “bucks tradition” are so dangerous. It feeds the Trump-as-disrupter nonsense. More accurate hed is: Trump Evades Free Press.
-
He's evading what exactly?
-
oh my god you were actually serious — sorry -
Yes. Pray tell.
-
Are you seriously that stupid? He literally hasn’t had a press conference in like a year. You get why that’s evading right? Please tell us you understand that.
-
Evading would imply he is running from something...if he is running from anything it's from talking to a room of partisans who hate him...I'd avoid it too...
-
Ok. You keep telling yourself that.

This byline makes it sound like he’s a ‘rebel’ for doing this. It should state “Trump avoids the free press yet again, it’s been ‘X’ number of days since a press conference, especially stunning after his tax bill.”

Remember when your friends in the media attacked Clinton for not holding press conferences and ignored Trump doing the same thing?

who cares? He tweets daily, he stops and talks to the press almost daily. He's been one of the most transparent Presidents. The only thing this avoids is garbage grand standing by 'journalist' like
@Acosta debating instead of asking questions.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
