Donald Trump bookended his press conference today in Florida by reminding reporters that Hillary Clinton hadn't taken their questions this calendar year.

'So it's been 235 days since 'crooked' Hillary Clinton has had a press conference,' Trump reminded the press as he began.

'I think it's time for Hillary Clinton to do a news conference because it's almost a year now and it will be interesting to see how she does,' Trump said as he left the stage.

The Republican takes questions from the press every few weeks and today did some Q&A for 57 minutes.

Donald Trump talked to reporters today in Miami, Florida and pointed out several times that Hillary Clinton hadn't hosted a press conference this calendar year

One of the last times Hillary Clinton took reporters' questions was at an event in December in Fort Dodge, Iowa, though it wasn't a full-fledged press conference

'So, you know, I put myself through your news conferences. Often. Not that it's fun,' Trump pointed out. 'Two hundred thirty-five days, no news conference for Hillary Clinton, you ought to check it out.'

The last time Clinton gaggled with reporters was in May, meaning that she took questions from a small group of them while on the trail.

In December, when campaigning in Iowa, she also took journalists' questions, but it wasn't a scheduled event.

Clinton's last true press conference was back in November, which came before any American had cast a primary vote.

It came before the FBI chief calling her 'extremely careless' with her emails. It came before Donald Trump had winnowed down the Republican rivals to become the GOP nominee.

In June as the primaries were wrapping up, with only a handful of states to go, Clinton was asked by CNN's Jake Tapper the status of her next press conference.

'I'm sure we will,' Clinton told Tapper, after the reporter pointed out the press conference drought. 'I was shocked myself that I've done nearly 300 interviews [this year]' the Democratic nominee pointed out.

When Clinton has answered questions from reporters it's usually a sit-down formal interview, which is different from the free-for-all nature of taking question after question from the press, when reporters can ask anything.

Clinton has a reputation for avoidance when it comes to the press and leaked emails from inside her campaign didn't help that rap as aides and volunteers were caught passing notes about certain reporters they feared would get too close to the candidate and ask her a question.

Trump, at his own presser today in Miami, Florida, issued a theory as to why Clinton wasn't talking.

'And you, as reporters who give her all of these glowing reports, should ask yourselves why,' Trump began. 'And I'll tell you why.'

'Because, despite the nice platitudes it's been a mess,' Trump said, seemingly talking about the Democratic National Convention being held in Philadelphia this week.

'You look at what's happened with ISIS, which hasn't even been mentioned. You look at what's happening with law and order,' Trump said. 'They don't even mention our police,' Trump said of the Democrats.

'They mention everybody but our police,' he added.

Last night, as the 'Mothers of the Movement' came onstage, Democrats changed 'Black Lives Matter' en masse.

The Pittsburgh Police Chief Cameron McLay spoke too, saying the country can balance being respectful to police officers while seeking criminal justice reforms.

'They don't have an American flag on the dais until we start complaining,' Trump said. 'And then they ran up with two very small flags, one that we saw.'

Democrats indeed added American flags to the stage at the DNC after night No. 1.

After listing his perceived problems with the DNC, Trump again called for Clinton to hold a press conference.
