WASHINGTON — President Trump arrives in the Oval Office these days as late as noon, when he is usually in a sour mood after his morning marathon of television.
He has been up in the White House master bedroom as early as 5 a.m. watching Fox News, then CNN, with a dollop of MSNBC thrown in for rage viewing. He makes calls with the TV on in the background, his routine since he first arrived at the White House.
But now there are differences.
...
Confined to the White House, the president is isolated from the supporters, visitors, travel and golf that once entertained him, according to more than a dozen administration officials and close advisers who spoke about Mr. Trump’s strange new life.
...The economy — Mr. Trump’s main case for re-election — has imploded. News coverage of his handling of the coronavirus has been overwhelmingly negative...
...His own internal polling shows him sliding in some swing states...Friends who have spoken to him said he seemed unsettled and worried about losing the election.
But the president’s primary focus, advisers said, is assessing how his performance on the virus is measured in the news media,
[priorities s-t-r-a-i-g-h-t]
and the extent to which history will blame him.
[Clue: TRUMP VIRUS, TRUMP EPIDEMIC, TRUMP DEATH.]
...
The daily White House coronavirus task force briefing is the one portion of the day that Mr. Trump looks forward to...
...Aides say he views them as prime-time shows that are the best substitute for the rallies he can no longer attend but craves.
Mr. Trump rarely attends the task force meetings that precede the briefings, and he typically does not prepare before he steps in front of the cameras.
[Which explains injecting disenfectants and UV light I got it.]
He is often seeing the final version of the day’s main talking points that aides have prepared for him for the first time...He hastily plows through them, usually in a monotone, in order to get to the question-and-answer bullying session with reporters that he relishes.
[Why again do you guys cover them just curious.]
...
After he is done watching the end of the daily White House briefing—

[Which is the one thing he looks forward to in the day, not the briefing, "the bullying session with reporters." Why don't you guys bully him right back? Aren't you supposed to stand up to a bully?]
which is held seven days a week and sometimes goes as late as 8 p.m. —. Trump watches television in his private dining room off the Oval Office.
[So: up as early as 5 a.m. watching TV till as late as noon; Starts the bullying at Pause: What time do those bullying sessions begin?...It looks like...Unpause. 5:30 p.m till as late as 8 p.m. and then watches TV afterwards, till when, beddy bye time? Okay so rounding up let's say he watches TV from 6 till umm, 10:30, is that fair?, administers the struggle session from let's say 6 p..m. to 7 p.m., watches the post-game recap till 10 p.m., gets the blowjob from Jared and is asleep at 11 p.m.: That's 8 1/2 hours of watching TV on or about himself (which includes the one hour struggle session but not the blowjob from Jared); yeah, isn't that pretty much the average amount of time the average Trump Low Life spends watching TV? Seems a normal low life. Which explains why we're where we are now doesn't it? Feel better?]
