No Weiss at the meeting.

And obviously, Lovitz was hyperbole, but not as much as you might think.

Reading Oliver Darcy's status has the whole transcript of the meeting.

It was something.

Not yet.

All right, let's get to the news.

With the Middle East still a mess and gas prices still high, the president is once again working hard to communicate to the American people how little he cares about these things.

Here he is during a hard-hitting Fox interview with his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, focused like a laser on his true passion, interior design.

It's so funny.

He's not there anymore.

You know, one would hope.

He's usually going to stay on as like physical plant director.
