The White House late Sunday morning announced that President Donald Trump would not appear on camera today, ending talk that he might address the nation regarding the protests seen across the country over the past few days.
Hosts of the Sunday television news shows had suggested a speech by the president might be in the cards and asked their guests what his message should be.
But later in the morning, the White House declared a so-called lid, meaning the president was not going to be seen on camera. There had been no public events scheduled for the president.

Democrats and one Republican governor criticized Trumps language to date on the unrest and urged him to stay silent.

Besides, given his cowardice, no doubt his diaper has to be changed every few minutes.

IIRC, the White House has the facilities for televising speeches from the oval office. So he doesn't have to worry about hecklers or awkward questions from the press. With most of our country's major cities in flames, why can't he be bothered to say something? My guess is that his handlers can't think of anything for him to say that will be unoffensive and not raise questions about where he's been and what he's been doing for the last 3 days: I've given up on his actually doing his job.

Now, if they could just keep that up until at least one day after Biden's inauguration.
