At the risk of tooting my own horn, I observed earlier that Trump, like Reagan, has been in the public eye for decades, good and bad, without holding any office.
He does not need the oxygen of publicity the way Obama and the Clintons gasp for it. Despite his high profile, Trump has always protected his privacy.
Granted, there is no more visible job in the world than POTUS but perhaps - hopefully - Trump has a bit of Coolidge in him and will cease the vapid, silly practice of the White House opining on vapid, silly pop culture.
It wouldn’t bother me one whit if the ‘sports teams visit the White House’ idiocy was retired.
It’s probably too much to ask that the State Of The Union be pared back to 30 min or not at all but anything to restore some sanity and dignity after famewhores Barack & Michelle.
Speaking of the State of the Union: it's never the requirement that it has to be delivered verbally, in the Capitol to both Houses and the Supremes. That was a very recent evolution (I forget who was the first to do it). Up until that point, the President had a hard copy of the State of the Union sent to Congress.
Don't know if he'd do it, but wouldn't it be a hoot if Trump went back to the old way?
Woodrow Wilson was out for 2 years and almost no one knew Roosevelt was crippled.
