President Donald Trump said Friday that his spokespeople should not be expected to speak accurately about his positions and the goings-on within his administration because he is a “a very active President with lots of things happening.”

He also threatened to cancel press briefings, suggesting via Twitter that they might instead be replaced with written statements “for the sake of accuracy.”

“As a very active President with lots of things happening, it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with perfect accuracy!” Trump wrote on Twitter Friday morning. “Maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future ‘press briefings’ and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy???”

In a pair of earlier posts to Twitter, Trump wrote that “the Fake Media is working overtime today!” and reiterated a point he has made regularly, both online and in media interviews, that “again, the story that there was collusion between the Russians & Trump campaign was fabricated by Dems as an excuse for losing the election.”
