Yesterday I did this and I stood for about an hour and a half as people spoke, Trump said. In fact, Wednesdays press conference ended after an hour.
This time Im sitting right there, he declared, pointing to his chair at the Resolute desk, and Im gonna watch you.
The cankles-stricken president, who has faced mounting questions about his health, continued moaning about the exhausting task of staying upright.
I stood for an hour and a half like this, he continued, demonstrating his erect posture. I said, You got to be kidding. Here we go.
