Circle Back: An action phrase used by clueless management and consultants to end a conversation because they're afraid of committing to a course of action and to imply they will continue to think about it.
There's a legitimate use case for this when you're asked a question about facts and you don't know the answer. Kayleigh would do this probably once or twice a presser but she would say something like "I don't know but I can get those answers/figures for you after this press conference."
We're only a week and a half into this presidency and there's already a >30s supercut of the number of times the press secretary couldn't answer a question? That's ridiculous.
