So Trump is considering cancelling the daily press briefings.

[MineralMan]

It looks to me as though he's drawing inward and closing the doors of the White House. He's retreating into secrecy and paranoia, perhaps. What's next? He's obviously concerned about leaks from his staff, so maybe he'll start thinning the herd and reducing his already-small staff even further.

If there are no press briefings, he can shed Shouty Spice and maybe even Underbite Conway, sending them off with a reminder about their undying pledge of loyalty.

And then, there's that Mike Pence, who always seems to be scowling in the background when he's around during Executive Order signings and the like. He's not needed, and may even be thinking he might have Trump's job. Shouldn't be trusted

What's his name Bannon could go, too. All he ever does is scowl, too, and he has bad B.O. most of the time.

All those communications kiddies? Gone. We don't need to communicate, really. Trump can just tweet some more and sign more EOs.

Yeah, Trump could get rid of most of them and lock down the White House. Maybe some aluminum foil on the windows to keep prying eyes from looking in.

Yeah, that's the ticket!

1. I think he figures 2x a month he can do a lot of damage and it's old news by the time they ask him

About it. But he would be doing the same doublespeak as his minions. He likes to confuse everyone and then just laugh at us all- trying to make sense of his bullshit. Laughing at people trying to hold him accountable.

2. Those press briefings are worthless anyway

I'd rather have the white house press do investigative reporting than have them argue with Spiceey about the color of the sky.
