Biden wouldn't do any (press conferences) for a month says trump

when asked about his absence for the last few days. Huge guffaws from the trained seals including Vance. Then bashes the media. The WH press corps politely takes the abuse and moves on of course.

because his previous press conferences were highly "successful". What a loon .I've already turned it off. So the re will be no further updates.

Biden went 50 days with no press conferences after being elected, the longest going back at least seven administrations.

Wapo, ABC, Yahoo, Axios, NYT, etc. all reported on it.

more transparent without constant lies and degradation, so we weren't on edge.

What isn't correct is that Biden didn't do press conferences for a month (trump's words) and no one said anything. I didn't include that in my OP because I didn't think his constant lies are worth transcribing. The press actually screamed bloody murder about their lack of access to Biden. But yes, trump made a decent point about Biden and then went on to lie about it.

that was surprising, but of course they just meekly accepted whatever he chose to say about it.

older or sicker than he did months ago. He could go on ad "infinauseam".

I, on the other hand, feel like hell.

If he was in bad shape, he would have cut the conference short.

I don't think Trump was aware because someone showed him the clip. Trump said the windows are sealed. Keep in mind the president is not responsible for the WH grounds and day to day operations.

So, I think the verdict is still out about the window. It seems weird things happen at the WH from time to time. I still think construction workers tossed stuff to pick up later as they often do.

Update from Daily Beast and WH: It wasn't AI. Keep in mind, Trump doesn't "own" the WH and it's a big place.


White House Reveals Why Mystery Objects Were Thrown Out Window

The White House said in a statement to Time on Tuesday that the mysterious bag drop was due to “regular maintenance.”

“It was a contractor who was doing regular maintenance while the President was gone,” the White House official said.

The video was widely shared on social media on Monday, with commenters poking fun at the president as speculation swirls that his health has taken a nosedive.

President Trump will make an announcement on Tuesday afternoon focused on the U.S. Space Force—but his physical appearance is likely to steal the show.
