A once a week session statting at 4pm of Fridays sounds more than adequate.
Kick the Press out of the WH except for that weekly happy hour.

Pres. Trump is not obligated to have press briefings. He should have as many as President George Washington did. The world would be much better off not seeing ugly Americans such as Jim Acosta and April Ryan.
The WH should set up its own studio and news team. It would be for the President and all members of his administration to make announcements, answer questions submitted by citizens, and show news clips of what is going on with our Government. Stream it on the net.
Of course, the first fake part of this story is the headline – these aren’t “migrant” children, they’re illegal immigrants who crossed our border in violation of our nation’s laws.
...
They are illegal aliens, not immigrants. Even the good guys are brainwashed.
There are any number of alternative means of getting information to the public that don’t involve placing Sarah Sanders and other White House personnel in harm’s way. These include:
...
That’s the way it used to be, questions were submitted in writing. At the very least, they need to stop putting the camera on the crooked reporters, an idea suggested by Ari Fleischer.
Yes. Stop giving the enemy ammunition.
Hold the briefings. Eject — or better yet — refuse to call on anyone who has been disrespectful in the past.
The media’s obsession with attacking the president renders the press conferences unwatchable.
I’ll do you a few better:
1. Stop the briefings.
2. Eliminate White House Press Corps credentials.
3. Completely refurbish the briefing room and turn it into office space and TV Studio.
4. Use the TV Studio to: a. produce weekly video updates by the president, and b. produce event driven updates as needed, all produced in the White House by Administration personnel.
5. Establish a world class, cutting edge integrated cross-platform broadcast system and run it out of the White House
In this era of immediate digital communication, there is no reason whatsoever that we need to run everything the president has to say through the Washington corrupt media.
..the little preacher’s daughter has been a real star in these briefings, exposing their hypocracy and bias...
This is not a “stage” for the President’s thoughts, it is a stage for the media. The President uses Twitter, the briefing is no longer necessary.
I think one briefing per week on Friday is all they should do.
How about a campaign to ask President Trump to end the press briefings? They serve no purpose. Why give the press bottom-feeders a platform to spew their contentious bile any longer?

Agreed. I can’t think of any news of note that has EVER broken from one of these events. They’re just platforms for press peacocks to get camera time and gain an air of importance.
I like the way Trump and Sanders leverage the briefings to put the insanity and rabidness of the LSM during the briefings....
If PDJT were to eliminate press briefings, the presstitutes would accuse him of violating their First Amendment rights, and just start making stuff up.
Oh, wait a minute...
White House press briefings are fun to see the chimps screech when they don’t get the fake answer they want it’s like a stupidity parade.
"The story blames the problem entirely on the Trump Administration, yet these children are mostly unaccompanied minors allowed into this country by the outlaw Obama Administration beginning in 2015, under executive-ordered policies that were also in clear violation of U.S. immigration laws.
"Once these unaccompanied minors entered the U.S. in violation of U.S. law, they were intentionally scattered all over the country by Obama’s evil minions at taxpayer expense, often flown first class to their destinations. Once these illegal immigrants arrived at their destinations, they were registered with local officials of the Health and Human Services Administration, and then simply released into the general population. Many were reunited with their illegal immigrant parents, some weren’t because – shockingly! – their illegal immigrant parents didn’t really want to be found by government authorities.
"Is it really any surprise, then, that of the tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors allowed into this country under this illegal program, the government has lost track of 1,475 of them since 2015? Wouldn’t this be completely expected, especially given the reality that a pretty good percentage of these parents are criminals who are going to do everything they can to hide from law enforcement?"
Just so I'll have it handy for quick quoting convenience.
