Trump does not lie. He is a sociopath. He says what he thinks is expedient for him at that moment. “Truth” is not even in the equation. There is no truth or lie only win or lose with Trump.
First of all, press briefings rarely involve the POTUS. They involve the staff chosen to speak for him. And since he clearly despises the news industry (except for his good pals at POX), and has even said that they are the enemy of the ‘people’ (meaning him, I would guess), he is even less likely to appear at a briefing. The fact is that the White House ‘communications staff’ is refusing to communicate. Fine. If I were running any part of the news industry, I wouldn’t waste the time of my employees, sending them to watch a meat puppet who refuses to answer questions from anyone other than the Russian news industry and anyone from POX. I would have my journalists analyze the only source of real info available, the tweets from POTUS, and then discuss actual events with journalists from other countries. That might provide the ‘people’ (meaning us) with info both about what POTUS thinks (if that’s what he’s doing) and what news analysts in other countries are seeing…

That’s actually a good thing. The less we have to look at that DISGUSTING, Fat, Lying, Tiny-handed, Revolting, Orange Orangutan, the better!

The President needs to find out that he is only important when he has something of import to say, and it must be truthful.
