You have to be kidding? He has wires to his phone, a “go pro” type camera on his chest, and maybe a lapel mic. The phone and go pro to keep it powered, and the mic so he can record himself.

Is this one of the “Smartvestor” affiliates? They are supposed to be teachers, so they should be overloading you with information on “who/what/when/where/why/how”.
No. There is no such thing as a “high speed lens”. There are “fast” lenses, which means they have a very large aperature. A professional photographer absolutely always carries/uses the fastest lens they can. He didn’t have some special lens “not normally used” for this event.
As close as he was he wouldn’t be using a longer lens. Shooting at f/1.6 is almost wide open, because it was so bright out you have to have the shutter speed cranked up to 1/8000. Had it been cloudy that shutter speed would have been much slower.

This. This puts it in perspective for people about how much waste was happening in government. This is almost a full month’s income for the median household in the U.S.
You can tell what age cohort one belongs to, by the cast of SNL they like. I do like watching YT shorts of Che and Jost doing their Christmas Weekend Update. They write jokes for the other person that they have not seen prior to the live read. Some funny stuff in there.
You have to look at it from the target’s point of view. The Arts are an area the Left love that they have 100% control over. It is an emotional soft spot for them. Trump doing this is going to cause them to keep being as outrageous as they have been. It also keeps the attention off DOGE.
This is a very important thing to do in the Culture War.
This is the part where Trump takes some of the heat off DOGE and onto himself. I wouldn’t be surprised if he started jokingly talking about statues of himself, just to make the Left absolutely loses it. Meanwhile DOGE is inside the IRS building doing their thing.
