The "Briefings" are a replacement for Captain Trumps Rallies.

Someone pointed that out yesterday and I'm sorry I didn't tag it.

But it is a very accurate assessment as to why he is doing so many of these.

What bearing that has on anything I'm not sure.

problem is he's confined, and can't perform at his best. He's not feeling the love. If the press ever gets around to asking real questions about his words and actions, it will be over.

How incredibly stupid he is from the rest of the population.
Along with showing them all how much of a dumbass he is in action.
Instead of them being stuck in his echo chamber only hearing praises of Dear Leader.

If these press conferences continue to be Trump’s replacement for his Fluff Me rallies, where he’s just going to lie, praise himself, and attack his perceived enemies all the way up to the election, will we be hearing from the OTHER guy who’s running for president on a frequent basis?

IMO, Trump is abusing his power in order to fill his endless need for attention. He’s certainly not doing any “presidenting.” Joe should be seen regularly on all the talk shows. The contrast will be stark.
