Welcome to The Briefing Room! This week is a survey of the actual and virtual venues. How President Trump uses the Oval Office, Roosevelt Room, South Lawn departures, Air Force One press cabin visits, specific television and radio shows and Twitter to shape his message – and how his engagement compares with past presidents. A qualitative and statistical dive into how Trump has used his briefing rooms; who follows him; and which key figures have fared best, worst and most from these interactions.

Guest: Martha Joynt Kumar, Director of the White House Transition Project (via Skype)
