Donald Trump White House conduct and briefings

Overview

President Donald Trump has engaged in several unconventional interactions at the White House. During an August 3 press briefing, the President deviated from scheduled topics regarding Iran and Ukraine to deliver a monologue concerning urban maintenance and city parks, stating, “Grass is like human beings. Grass is a life also.” The briefing concluded abruptly after he criticized public transportation at Dulles International Airport.

On August 19, Trump conducted an impromptu tour of the White House to discuss ongoing renovations. He defended the use of tarps on the North Portico as necessary shade for workers and claimed the building's columns are now in “flawless condition.” Later that day, Trump arrived 36 minutes late to a briefing with technology and finance executives focused on artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency, remarking to the group, “It’s a serious group.”
