==============
Last week, we (and a zillion other observers) advised the President to dial back on his participation in the daily Task Force press conferences … and, rather, maintain his visibility by holding his own occasional “hot topic” news conferences.
Looks like he’s taking the advice.
A couple of things appear to be motivating the welcomed relief….
===============
Here’s some of the conventional wisdom:
- Polls say that the public is tiring of the repetitive hostility between Trump and the political reporters.
- Press “jumped the shark” with coverage of “He told people to drink Clorox and Lysol” …
see: Dr. Birx scolds the press and millennials - There’s a decreasing amount of new news to report … increasing confidence that we’re turning the corner (death tools stable or decreasing; good news from early anti-body tests).
- New press secretary Kayleigh McEnany hit the White House grounds running … she’s smart (G-town under grad, Harvard Law), experienced with the media, disciplined, photogenic and, oh yeah, she’s on the same page as Trump on the big issues.
- Interest seems to be quickly shifting back to the economy … Trump’s strong suit. That gives him a more comfortable venue.
Bottom line: The press corps may be losing a gift that keeps on giving (the marathon press conferences) … and may need to start reporting.
