Joe Biden held only nine Cabinet meetings in four years. Yesterday was Trump’s fourth Cabinet meeting in 100 days, which now exceeds Biden’s annual total during any one of his four agonizing years (President Autopen could only handle three a year). Biden’s meetings were carefully scripted, with Biden answering fewer than a dozen questions over his nine meetings.

Yesterday, President Trump himself took over one hundred questions from reporters.

Later, Press Secretary Leavitt asked pool reporters, “Can you ever remember a Cabinet meeting in which the media were welcomed into the room to ask questions of the entire federal government?” She waited a brief moment for any response from reporters. There was none. “No you can’t,” she answered for them, “because it has never happened.”
