Now I wish he'd go back to playing every day.

Standing at the tee, eyeing the green, he looks very presidential. Hit the links some more, Mr President, Sir.

And the "people" in his administration who are actually working, albeit to the detriment of Americans, aren't wasting their time on them. You'll never see DeVoss, Carson, etc there, and Mnuchkin is only occasionally there.

They have looting to attend to.

His own? None.

OANN and FOX?'s None. Real reporters'? See Fauci.

He does nothing productive or good for this country.

I am sure that Fauci at least, gathers information from the medical infrastructure to prepare for any information that he has to give out or questions. As folks on this site have said, the briefings would likely last 15 minutes to 30 minutes if just the experts were speaking on the situation and next steps.

I am willing to bet my house that Trump goes to the meetings with NO preparation whatsoever, other then watching Fox News and maybe having a very brief interaction with Fauci and/or others. I think sometimes he decides at the last minute to participate in the meetings.

He wastes everybody's time all the time.

Unless there's late breaking developments, these are mostly a waste of time IMHO. I feel that they should be weekly and just about the task force and what they have to say.
