Yep, I rarely watch it - don’t want to wade through all that just to hear Greg and Jesse, when they have their own shows anyway.

I’d prefer the President speak to the cameras and not have his head and face down quietly reading off a paper full of notes he’s seeing for the first time.

Where’s the new campaign manager? Does he not know every time he steps out in front of a camera it is a campaign event?

I admit, he is low-key, but he’s calmly hitting all the things he needs to. Waiting to see how the question and answer segment goes.

I like what he’s talking about!

Is he OK? “Fatilities” — twice.

These Briefings are always like this

Exactly. People complaining CLEARLY have never seen a single one of these before, and need to sit down and catch up.

He sounds tired. There is nothing exciting about these monotone pressers.

I see them doing more harm than good.

Holding them daily without enthusiasm will turn people off.

I love and support him, but find myself changing the channel to local news.

TV is a “cool” medium ; and Trump is proceeding at a good pace, while listing some very measured and common sense actions. He is confident and not rattling off info. The public can follow this, as opposed to the avalanche of white hot blather from Harris.

“Performance-wise” it does suffer.

Lot of good info though.

“low energy” or “rambling”, pick one because they are not even close to being similar. IMO you just want to be negative toward Trump, so I won’t expect an honest reply from you.

He just talked about people staying in a basement with a computer losing brain power – "we see this in politics."

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

Yes, unfortunately this is coming off as very flat. He does need to act more like he is at a rally. He has been cut off from the energy of his supporters.

We look forward to watching him every day. This is the third day in a row that he’s read pretty much the same script. I like to think of it as constructive criticism from his biggest supporters. He needs to change it up.
