Analysis: The greatest victim of the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW press freeze-out isn’t reporters. It's Trump.
The White House press corps has fumed the air with incense and prayers, beseeching the gods of journalism to increase the number of Sarah Sanders’ appearances in the James S. Brady Briefing Room. Once as numerous as the stars in the heavens, White House briefings now drop about. State Department reporters are begging the same. Once a daily occurrence in previous administrations, Foggy Bottom press briefings are now weekly in the age of President Donald Trump.
Unencumbered by the consistency and coherence that regular briefings inspire, Trump has pursued whatever capricious policy of the day that pops into his head. Trump and his advisers can’t stay on the same page because there is no page. If you told Trump that spurning the press makes him unaccountable, he would probably count it as a plus. For Trump, constant improvisation, back-tracking, and starting anew without warning feed him the maximum flexibility he craves.
