    And, still, the world has not collapsed - and continues to spin - despite Trump being POTUS. No worries for the Left - only 207 more weeks to go!

    Live your life, enjoy what you have, love those near to you and carry on. Or, dwell on what you hate and let it eat at you. You get to choose.

    The U.S President has not destroyed the world in 1 week and therefore is a success.

    Now those are some high standards!

    LOL ... the media .... they can't keep up with the old "orange guy"!!

    White House Reporters DISH On Covering Trump Vs. Biden And The WHIRLWIND Differences!

    While Biden did occasionally engage with the press, these interactions were often brief and infrequent. "Although Biden did take questions from reporters here and there, his more informal exchanges with the press were sporadic and rarely lasted more than a few minutes. More often than not, he was out of view," Politico reported. However, the article also raises concerns about whether the constant barrage of information from Trump might overwhelm both the media and the public. "Within the press corps, there is some ambivalence about Trump’s firehose on blast," they wrote, acknowledging the challenge of processing and reporting the sheer volume of information.

    +

    In a recent analysis by Politico's White House reporters, the stark contrast between the media strategies of former President Joe Biden and current President Donald Trump has been brought into sharp focus.

    The report highlights the transition from what they describe as the "invisible" and "shielded" Biden era to the "omnipresent" presence of Trump, who has been eager to engage with the media since his inauguration.

    As reported by Fox News, White House correspondent Eli Stokols and White House Bureau Chief Dasha Burns noted that Trump has been actively making speeches, announcing policies, and engaging with reporters extensively. This marks a significant departure from the more subdued media presence during Biden's tenure. "Yes, Trump was eager to sign all those executive orders reversing Biden’s policies," they wrote. "But the bigger flex for Trump, 78, was to contrast his accessibility, aptitude and activity with his predecessor, who was so often shielded from public view by aides wary of showcasing the 82-year-old’s growing limitations."

    Reminds me of that old show on the History Channel: Life After People where they would depict what things would look like at increasing periods of time ( one day, one week, one month, 50 years, etc etc etc

    Let's see how things are by January 2029.

    A message board full of what is mostly college educated, older, middle class and above white guys hasn't been negatively affected by Trump one week in? Shocking.

    Try posting this in some other places.

    Interesting. It seems like you need to have a talk with this guy. He has very different opinions about the proper behavior related to government incompetence:

    you act like the fact that inflation came down but was still high, made up for the disaster of the first 2 years where interest rates, gas and grocery prices exploded
