President Trump evidently doesn't know the definition of "press conference." Last Friday, after two days of unusual engagement with the White House press corps, Trump promised to hold a "pretty big press conference" at the White House on Monday. But the White House didn't set up any press conference. Trump's declaration that "we had a press conference" seemed to confirm what some White House correspondents already surmised -- that Trump is counting any appearance in front of the press corps as a press conference. Some reporters thought Trump would hold a full-blown press conference before going on vacation in August, but he did not.
