WASHINGTON — President Trump said Monday that “everybody” enjoyed his White House coronavirus briefings — including himself — and vowed they will be back, just not daily.

In an Oval Office interview with The Post during which he predicted a strong economic rebound from the coronavirus crisis by the end of the year, and offered his opinions on presumptive Democratic challenger Joe Biden’s best pick for a running mate and the sex-assault allegations facing the former vice president, Trump said the briefings were must-see TV.

And he credited his frequent clashes with reporters for making engaging content.

“And you know, at the same time, they shouldn’t be asking the same question every press conference just trying to get a rise, you know.”

If they didn't get a rise every time they ask it then they wouldn't be asking the same question at every press conference

The president could stop it easily enough by giving a short “yes” or “no” or “I answered that already, have you another question which has not been asked”?

Jill Biden wants the Ghettopotomus Abrams The Tank to be VP. She is so fat and hideously obese even Dirty Joek Biden can’t find her sexy. Jill wants someone Joek will keep his hands off of.

The Ghettopopotomus would smell to Joek Biden like something you put Arby’s Sauce on.

The issue isn’t whether people enjoy the pressers, the issue is having the anti-American, anti-Trump Fauci, Birx, Redfield, etc., up there with Trump going along with their program.

It´s obvious that he was elected because he doesńt put up with the press´ badgering. Other Presidents let them but hés a good counter puncher. The more they badger him it only makes him look better when he shuts them up and hangs them on their own petard. Instead of asking relevant questions they just keep on asking the same questions and end up looking stupid. Which they are. It´s obvious the press really are the enema of the people. (I like to say they are the enema).

Paula Reid’s husband is a Chinese educated Fabian Socialist Globalist sellout.

She has Zero business being anywhere near the Whitehouse.

Wieja Jiang was born in China and is a Chinese apologist - she also has Zero business being anywhere near the whitehouse

I tuned in nightly just to see him spank the likes of Jake Crapper and Quim Acoughsta.

I loved it when he spanked them and sent them to their rooms.

I hope he whoops their asses big time in the next few installments, holding them to a standard f professionalism. When they ask jingoistic questions, The President laughs at them as he should. The whole of America is laughing at these juvenile propaganda meisters too. Whats really laughable is that they can’t take it and make even greater fools of themselves.

Its Great TV.

He could, but he doesn't. So they keep asking in the hope that Trump will lose his temper, blow up, and respond with some petulant remark. If you looked into it I would not be surprised to find that the media types that hang out at the White House consider being called a name by Trump to be a badge of honor, and the more they can get him to blow up then the greater their standing in the herd.

This

He should not be giving rambling nonanswer responses to the same question asked repeatedly

Other questions about medication should be answered: “my staff will get you that information”

Millions of us have lost our freedom, jobs, income, dignity

It is not “must see TV” to watch the president and the press corp insult each other

Why is "the press" even there? They can watch it on TV just like the rest of us. We don't need any interpretation...especially theirs.

He gives them way more information than their little minds can handle....no need for their stupid questions.

Or do to the press what Fox News did to him in the townhall.
Make them submit video questions in advance and then he gets to choose which ones he’s going to answer.

Then why have a briefing at all? Just release a press release on what's happening and leave it at that. No media. No questions. No wasted time.

I agree. It is not must see TV. We won’t be watching anymore.

Just have to wonder: Why should President Trump be giving briefings for a Flu?
