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.
We now have these stretches where we have no idea what Donald Trump is doing.
Sometimes it's 18 hours of the day where we know where he is and what he's doing for five or six hours.
And then he reappears.
It's very tightly controlled.
The events are staged.
It's, you know, formal dinner with world leaders.
And then he disappears again from any real time decision making visibility.
At the exact same time, you've got policy and military operations unfolding.
When the Iran strikes were launched, we have pictures of Trump at Mar-a-Lago running things from a makeshift set up during a gala where it clearly wasn't even a skiff.

And there's a picture of J.D.
Vance at the White House Situation Room.
