Four years ago during the transition, WaPo’s WH team had a “hot-seat” rotation in which one reporter was on duty to monitor Trump’s tweets. Back then, I dropped my 3-y/o at a public preschool across town every morning—just as he began tweeting. (1)
The first two days, as my phone began buzzing during the commute, I would check his tweets at each red light, grimace, then ignore any emails from the office about who could blog it until a colleague would volunteer to grab it. The third day, I knew I couldn’t keep that up. (2)
As we pulled up to the school, double-parking in front, I saw Trump beginning a tweet barrage against Chuck Schumer. I ran around the car, unbuckled my daughter, who was still having attachment issues about me leaving her every day, and began pushing her toward the entrance (3)

NSA O'Brien just said Trump is a "voracious consumer of intelligence and the information we provide him. ... I think he's got a very innate sense of geography." Trump told India's PM Modi that "it's not like you have China on your border," per @PhilipRucker @CarolLeonnig
O'Brien made his remarks to @SCClemons on @defenseone's Global Security Forum. Here's the report from 'A Very Stable Genius' about Trump's sense of geography washingtonpost.com/politics/new-b…
O'Brien said he told Trump: "I don't view the national security adviser's role as being some sort of tutor in international affairs. .. I view my job as making sure get all the best options that are available for you to implement the policy you want."

Obama cites NYT report about Trump's bank account in China: "Can imagine if I had a secret Chinese bank account when I was running for reelection? You think Fox News might have been a little concerned about that? They would have called me, 'Beijing Barry.'"
All the audible car honking at Obama's drive-in rally in Philly adds quite a unique atmosphere...
Obama: "I get this president wants full credit for the economy he inherited and zero blame for the pandemic he ignored. But you know what? The job doesn’t work that way. Tweeting at the television doesn’t fix things."
