President Trump told Fox News that he might do press conferences himself to replace the daily briefing by his press secretary.
FOX NEWS: “Are you moving so quickly that your communications team can’t keep up with you?”
TRUMP: “Yes it’s true.”
FOX NEWS: “So what do we do about that?”
TRUMP: “We don’t have press conferences…”
FOX NEWS: “You don’t mean that!”
TRUMP: “I do. Unless I have them every two weeks and I do them myself. I think it’s a good idea.”
