The president has apparently taken to hosting more meetings in the Oval Office as it allows him to spend less time on his feet.Expect to see more of President Donald Trump holding court behind the Resolute Desk because apparently, staging events in other rooms at the White House means spending too long on his feet.
A source familiar with White House event planning told The New York Times Wednesday Trump has increasingly avoided holding meetings in larger spaces like the East Room, preferring the Oval Office partly because of its superior acoustics, and partly because it means he doesnt actually have to stand up for prolonged periods of time.
It comes after Trumps four-day disappearance from public life last week. Coupled with a spate of events at which the MAGA leader was spotted with swollen ankles, bruising on his hands and trouble walking straight (to mention nothing of the usual mental gaffes), the presidents unofficial hiatus from official duties sparked a firestorm of online speculation about the state of his health, and even rumors of his death.
Describing those rumors as fake news and insisting hes NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE, Trump seemed determined to impress his not-deadness upon the world over the weekend, embarking on a frenzied Truth Social blitz Saturday night that saw him crank out an impressive 42 posts in just ten hours.

He will need to hire an assistance but isn't he paranoid about this stuff ?
Usually people will at least have a relative to help them but I can't see any of his being willing to do it.
