The White House press conference has always been a frustrating spectacle, with reporters trying to pry information from government officials who do everything in their power to avoid sharing too much information. But these press conferences are typically appreciated because of their symbolic value -- they reaffirm the democratic idea that the government must answer to the people.
That symbolic value has changed under Trump, who uses press conferences to stage high profile fights with the press and mobilize his base.
