I think that Trump is partly to blame for these horrible press attacks in the Oval Office. If he would have made clear, at any point in his Presidency, that ONLY questions related to the dignitary or issue at hand would be answered, he would have stopped this rudeness. I find these press availabilities embarrassing to our country.
Trump likes the back and forth with the press and he gets the better of them but the Oval Office is not the appropriate place. The helicopter pressers or a general press conference are the places.
