    I just did a little research myself. According to various sources, including the White House Press Office and media reports, President Trump held more press conferences and answered more questions from the press than President Biden during their respective terms.

    During his presidency, President Trump held 137 press conferences, with an average of 27 questions asked per conference. He also held numerous solo press briefings and took questions from the press on a regular basis.

    In contrast, President Biden has held fewer press conferences and answered fewer questions from the press. According to the White House Press Office, President Biden has held 14 press conferences, with an average of 15 questions asked per conference. He has also held fewer solo press briefings than President Trump.

    It’s worth noting that President Biden has faced criticism for his handling of the press and his willingness to take questions from the media. Some have accused him of being less transparent and less accessible to the press than his predecessors, including President Trump.

    Overall, while both presidents have had their own unique approaches to dealing with the press, the data suggests that President Trump answered more media questions during his term than President Biden.

      That has literally nothing to do with anything you claimed:

      Trumps always answered questions from the media. Biden rarely does and when he does it’s usually just a yes or no answer he gives unless it’s a pre-selected question of course. Then he just reads the answer off of his Q cards.

      You also didn’t explain how you know he was reading from cue (not Q) cards and why that’s different from reading off of a teleprompter.

        The Q cards have the names of the reporters he needs to call on in order. Also tells him where to stand, sit, etc. The teleprompter tells him what to say

          For fuck’s sake… Have you ever read anything on a teleprompter? They have tons of physical cues and they tell you people’s names.

          And you still haven’t said how you know Biden reads off of cue cards even if you insist on spelling them wrong like a fool.
