What’s the point of taking thousands of pics of the President at one time?

If a photographer had been standing there he might have took the bullet.
Or gotten a Pulitzer for journalism

Read the story about the photos taken when Oswald was shot. Probably on the internet somewhere.
Two photographers, inches from each other, photos taken with a few milliseconds of each other.
One is world famous and one the Pulitzer Prize. Looks on the faces. The sheriff with the big hat, etc ( died recently I think)
Other one is interesting.

Maybe the weeks is not accurate but the guy literally held his shutter button down for most of the press conference. I can’t imagine how many photos he took. When I take a few hundred I do drop my card in and leave it to upload. I will add I’m using Lightroom CC and not classic so all my pics go to the cloud. I think what your referring to would be the classic where all your images are on your computer.

It's the same with any public figure. Take lots of pictures and pick the one you want to use. That one of the reasons most cameras shoot many frames per second.

I shot a lot of events, including speakers. Some speakers you could take 3 or 4 shots and everything was fine. Other speakers contorted their faces into weird expressions while speaking. And having a photo of a guy behind a podium with his mouth closed looks pretty dull. There were two guys I encountered frequently for whom I had to take 100 or more shots to get one good one. I mashed the release at a high frame rate for 5 second bursts.
My shots were used for PR purposes so they had to look good. If I wanted goofy expressions I could have done it with 3 or 4 shots.

Your first sentence surely means that there there would not be any speakers left?

Another example of what good portrait photography is all about. Carefully plan your shot so that you capture the image just the way you pre-visualized it.....😠
Of course you should...but it’s not an option in this scenario.
“Turn your head a little to the lift, Mr. President. Chin up...no, too much, now look right at the top of my head...”
Don’t see that happening😊

Same reason many people shoot burst mode with wildlife or sports. Trying to get that "perfect" shot. By the time you press the shutter button, the "perfect" shot is gone.

Maybe they're trying to get an image of him not lying. Good luck with that.
The Fake News has no need for the truth so they wouldn't be trying that.
