This ain’t Sleepy Joe’s administration.
President Donald Trump spoke more than 2.57 million words at events where his remarks were transcribed in 2025 — and interacted with the press at 74% of those events, according to data reviewed by Breitbart News.
Data from the White House Office of Stenography says Trump logged 495 transcripts — about 1.4 transcripts a day — spanning more than 13,400 minutes in total.
Breitbart compares the talk-time to reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone 33.5 times, The Art of the Deal 23.9 times, or War and Peace 4.4 times.
And that’s not even everything. The figures do not include non-transcribed interviews or remarks at private events. The White House says the takeaway is simple: access.
“President Trump is the most transparent and accessible President in American history,” White House assistant press secretary Liz Huston told Breitbart News in a statement. “Unlike his incompetent predecessor, who relied on palm cards and scripted appearances, President Trump consistently takes unrestricted questions from the legacy media.”
“President Trump also posts directly from his Truth Social account on the most important issues facing our nation every single day. This level of openness and direct access is unprecedented, giving the American people a more authentic connection to their President than ever before,” she added.
The transcripts show a president who keeps the press within arm’s reach — and often on the move. Nearly 500 transcripts include 231 outside Washington, DC, across 18 countries, 22 U.S. states, and 83 cities.
The breakdown: 161 remarks, 165 press sprays, 15 general gaggles, and 15 press conferences. Trump took questions at 42 events categorized as remarks, 134 sprays, all general gaggles, and 14 press conferences.
Even travel time produced a pile of transcripts: 108 total — including 35 Marine One gaggles (questions taken 31 times), 31 gaggles outside Air Force One (28 with questions), and 42 gaggles inside Air Force One (41 with questions). Of the 165 sprays: 55 were during bilateral meetings, 36 at signings, 24 at roundtables, and 50 were general sprays.
