MS NOW's Katy Tur Defends Trump Amid NY Times Decline Expose Says He's Still More Engaged' Than Biden Was

"The Times' investigation detailed Trump's shorter workdays, fewer public events, rambling speeches, ruminations on the afterlife and several moments in recent months when the president appeared to doze off during meetings. The article triggered a furious response from Trump who berated the articles author and the newspaper before touting he'd recently aced a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST."

"Speaking on The Daily Beast's podcast on Wednesday, Tur offered her own assessment of Trump's second-term demeanour and said the president is different than he was, noting that he doesn't have the same amount of energy and that his speech is slower. She added: You can see him falling asleep sometimes, or appearing to fall asleep in the Oval Office. While acknowledging Trump's longstanding tendency toward meandering riffs, she argued, it's different now. So there is some validity to that, she said."

"Tur admitted she's not a doctor but noting that this was the bubbling narrative, reciting comedian Shane Gillis's Trump has Biden Brain' bit. I think not to get on the bandwagon and to push back a little bit, he is doing much more than certainly Joe Biden did, Tur followed, mounting a defense. He is out there in a way that past presidents haven't even been out there. He does give access."

President Trump has shorter workdays, fewer public events, rambling speeches, ruminations on the afterlife, and has appeared to doze off during meetings in recent months. He publicly berated a newspaper and said he recently aced a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST. Energy levels and speech tempo have slowed compared with earlier in his presidency. Despite those changes, he remains highly visible and active, giving broad media access, appearing constantly on television, undertaking overseas travel, and participating in public events such as handing out Halloween candy. Domestic travel has decreased, and some trips are brief, one-day outings.
