Twitter goes nuts after Trump makes an appearance at the White House press briefing - on giant screens next to Sarah Huckabee Sanders's podium

Trump delivering a video message during the White House press briefing was truly a bizarre sight. He couldn't walk down the hall to the briefing room?

Is Trump scared of the White House press corps? He just had his press secretary pipe in a canned video at the briefing. Pretty bizarre. https://t.co/JRdVk5xWwq

if this is the message they were hoping to convey odd to have Trump deliver a video message to the briefing room rather than appear himself https://t.co/HAgkKQDjKr

Trump appears on the video in the press briefing room, which is maybe 50 yards from the Oval Office.

Unlike past presidents, Pres. Trump has yet to make a live appearance at the White House Press Briefing in the briefing room. pic.twitter.com/TSgPbFC55h

TUESDAY: @PressSec: Trump is "one of the most accessible presidents we've ever had."

For the record, Trump's office is mere feet from the briefing room. https://t.co/xEMyZvrCW9

Trump...who is like 50 feet away from the briefing room...opted to post a video statement shouting at the room of reporters...instead of just showing up himself.

Instead of showing up at the press briefing, to talk to the press, the White House is playing a recorded video of Trump talking about his tax cuts pic.twitter.com/5R1YTFuavi

Big brother moment at the WH briefing right now. Trump on two giant TV screens literally four feet apart. When he's done, Sanders thanks him like he's there. These people are so weird.

What is with the switching angles on this Trump vid at the briefing? Profile/look straight/profile/look straight. I'm dizzy.

Networks taking this briefing live are now running this Trump press briefing video talking about his own accomplishments in its entirety.
