Basically, it's Trump gets to watch TV, call his friends.

have tweets printed out and looks at them and then posting about whatever he just saw on TV.

Not only has that pattern not changed, it's actually gotten worse.

You can look at Trump's true social posts and line them up with what's on cable news almost in real time.

And Trump is just not getting influenced only by what he sees on TV.

He's reacting to what's happening on TV.

The presidency is essentially being guided by what is Trump see on TV during the few hours of the day that he's actually working.

So that gets us to the limited schedule thing.

They insisted Joe Biden is working a tiny little shriveled limited schedule.

He can't do anything early in the morning or late at night.

Trump's day is at least as limited.

And in some cases, it has even less on it than Joe Biden had fewer formal briefings, less structured work, all of it.

And then there's the Gulf, which has almost become a joke.

I think the Gulf matters because the Gulf is about time and priorities.

Trump spends a lot of time playing golf a lot more than you would expect if he's really doing the nonstop work that they try to sell.

He is also very often not in Washington, D.C., is in Florida at his own properties.

There was even a moment during the start of the Iran war where J.D.

Vance, the VP, was sitting in the Situation Room.

And Trump was golfing in Florida and taking breaks to tell us, by the way, we're at war or is a military operation, what they were calling it then.

So what you end up with if you look at the facts is one hundred and eighty degree different picture.
