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.
Instead, he gave a hastily-arranged speech without answering any questions.
When he came before cameras a second time Monday, and CNN's Jim Acosta, who was in the room serving as pool reporter, asked about the lack of a presser, Trump said, "We had a press conference.
We just had a press conference."
As Acosta pressed, asking if reporters could ask more questions, Trump turned to him and said, "I like real news, not fake news, you are fake news."
