In today’s rapidly evolving media landscape, the way a president communicates with the American people plays a critical role in shaping public perception, driving policy narratives, and maintaining accountability.

Recent remarks by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt have brought renewed attention to this subject. In her Thursday briefing, Leavitt presented a striking statistic that underscored a stark contrast: while former President Joe Biden’s administration engaged with the media relatively infrequently, President Donald Trump has maintained a near-daily presence, often addressing reporters multiple times in a single day.

According to Leavitt, during his first few hours back in office, President Trump answered more than 12 times the number of questions that President Biden handled during his entire first week.
