A real leader would have an actual unscripted press conference. And he wouldn’t let the sorority girls on his staff including the Easter Bunny tell him what to do.
And, in the same vein as the Easter Bunny and sorority girls pushing him around, a real leader would NEVER, EVER say "I'm not supposed to do this" or "I'm not supposed to say this" or "What am I supposed to do now?"
That is the opposite of leadership.
