The Trump White House is wasting no time getting down to business for the American people, and Thursday's press briefing proved this administration means what it says about transparency and accessibility.
Vice President JD Vance himself stepped up to the podium during the daily briefing, joining Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for a nearly 40-minute session with reporters. The briefing, which kicked off at 1:28 PM and wrapped at 2:05 PM, featured the Vice President directly addressing the press corps—something that was virtually unheard of during the Biden years when handlers kept their cognitively declining figurehead far from unscripted moments.
A New Era of Accountability
Remember when Karine Jean-Pierre would stumble through briefings, reading from her binder while dodging every substantive question? Those days are over, folks. The Trump-Vance administration is showing Americans what real leadership looks like—leaders who aren't afraid to face the media head-on.
While the legacy media will no doubt find some way to spin this negatively, patriots across the country see exactly what's happening: an administration that's confident in its agenda and willing to defend it publicly. That's because when you're actually delivering results for working Americans, you don't need to hide behind carefully managed photo ops and pre-approved questions.
The Biden Contrast
Let's not forget that Joe Biden held fewer press conferences than any modern president, and when he did appear, his handlers would cut the feed the moment things went off-script. Kamala Harris was even worse, disappearing for weeks at a time while the border burned.
President Trump promised to restore accountability to the White House, and VP Vance's appearance at the briefing room podium is just the latest proof that this administration walks the walk.
The question is: will the mainstream media give this the coverage it deserves, or will they continue their crusade against the duly elected President of the United States?
