CIC pulled this off yesterday while holding 3 huge rallies and a SCOTUS swearing in. Joe’s idea of multitasking is having his mashed potatoes and peas on the same fork.

THIS is one of President Trump’s greatest strengths.

His uncanny ability to handle a potentially major problem with instructions to the right people to “take care of it.”

Could you see Bush, in your wildest dreams, doing this?

as they were meeting near the Turkish border

While I don't blame them for not using Zoom, they should have been wearing masks and properly distanced. So no sympathy from me.
