And I need to save myself.
The next question we have to answer is who's in charge right now when Trump is doing who knows what?
Who is making the decisions at the White House?
when Trump is in Florida golfing or just sundowning and posting to social media.
It doesn't seem like it's J.D.
Could it be Marco Rubio?
I want to kind of try to figure it out now.
I do feel it necessary to issue a kind of disclaimer.
This is not the old Biden is tired and has no idea what's going on.
Talking point that we heard during Joe Biden's presidency.
And the reason that this is not that is we have gaps where Trump is not there.
We've had two periods of nearly a week where Trump was just gone.
We know of moments where major decisions were happening and Trump is physically somewhere else when the Iran war was being launched and Trump was in Florida.
And J.D.
Vance was in the Situation Room.
So this is not an abstract, abstract question.
Under Biden's presidency, you could say a lot of things about Joe Biden.
And I said many of them.
But there were no big moments where Biden hadn't been briefed, had no idea what was going on, wasn't in the room and the decisions were being made.
