President Trump is taking his administration’s overhaul to a whole new level. He’s acting on redesign plans large and small, from changing the Washington landscape to altering how his staff is structured.
A news conference is a semi-formal meeting in which the President interacts with the press. This article includes all “solo” conferences (not including prime-time televised events) and also the number of news conferences that are “Joint.”
The term “Joint” encompasses both events that are only partly on the record or that involve a foreign head of government, and deliberate leaks that offer information to the Press off the record. See our complete list of presidential leaks.
