In response to the “Free Speech” letter by Loyal M Johnson, I find the comparison between Biden and Trump's press pool stunningly naïve. When Donald is not golfing, Trump holds press conferences that are long-winded, off-topic, incoherent, rambling diatribes. As for clear and direct answers? Has the writer listened to Trump’s speeches? Biden, on the other hand may not have appeared often but he did handle security briefings.
As for press secretaries, the writer can hardly compare Trump’s trophy wife of a MAGA donor, Karoline Leavitt, to Biden’s well educated, knowledgeable, and articulate Jen Psaki and Karine Jean-Pierre.
Trump only addresses a press pool comprised of handpicked MAGA sycophants, prohibiting all others who Trump considers “bad,” unlike Biden who allowed all journalists into the press pool. The multitude of journalists Trump permits into the White house press pool doesn't include The Associated Press (banned) or Reuters (banned) but HAS included a reporter from TASS, the Kremlin mouthpiece. Who is the real puppet here?
