It clearly shows a comfort level with being his own spokesman. \u2026 He enjoys it. He thinks of himself as a persuasive personality, or he enjoys the attention\u2014or both. And he may not be wrong. He has demonstrated that he can command a following for the way he puts his ideas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Martha Joynt Kumar, Towson University professor emerita of political science and leading scholar on White House press operations, told The National Journal that Trump is using the Oval Office to speak directly to Americans in a way that grabs their attention.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People stop when they see a president in the Oval Office talking on their television.
