President Trump has become the most accessible president in recent history, and his freewheeling post-election press conference Wednesday was the latest proof.

Dispelling on live television that he hides from the press, Trump took 68 questions from 35 reporters. And if the failed follow-up questions are included, the number soars closer to 90.

How does that compare to the press conference former President Barack Obama took after he was clobbered in the first midterm election he faced?

In that 2010 performance, Obama took 22 questions from 10 reporters who offered soft questions, not the types of challenges Trump faced.

The media has often tried to portray Trump as anti-media and somebody who refuses to give the press access.

But while he often stirs it up with the press and knocks his media critics, like CNN, he has made himself more available to reporters than any recent president.

CBS White House correspondent Major Garrett, for example, told Washington Secrets, “There is more access to this president than there was to Obama. We see him all the time. He takes questions a lot."

He added, “We see him and interact with him and punch in questions with far more frequency than with Obama. Probably more so than for W. Bush.”
