This is the sort of bizarro universe behavior that serves to remind every American that the entire Trump administration is built on denying obvious truths. A White House can’t call itself as transparent as humanly possible when they refuse to release the White House visitor logs, hold briefings on camera and have a president that is openly dodging non-partisan press while he refuses to hold a press conference.
The Trump White House hides everything, and the American people would know nothing if it was for the constant leaking coming from his administration.
Trump doesn’t get to claim transparency while being the most secretive, distant, and closed off president of the modern era.
If this is what Trump considers transparent, one can only imagine the kind of secrets that he is really hiding.
