"The thing that struck me the most was the reception that President Trump got. Like, we go all around the country, different places in the world, and there's generally a lot of excitement for him. But you looked out the motorcade, and there were people standing on just about every balcony in the residential areas, and as close as they could get to the roadblocks, just to wave and take pictures with their phone."
"And it was a really, really long day for the president. It was like a 36 hour day, and that sounds like something where, oh, I'm sure that there was downtime at a hotel whatever they call it, executive time, when it's a president but we never went to a hotel. He came back, he talked to us a couple times on the plane, he did his events, he had his meetings, and then right back home. I think we left 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, and we didn't get back until 3:00 a.m. Tuesday. So a very, very long day, and I had to take a day off to catch up on my sleep."
Peter Doocy traveled to Israel to cover President Trump's ceasefire deal and then returned to Washington, D.C. He rotates hosting The Sunday Briefing with Jacqui Heinrich, and the show launched with strong ratings. Doocy described an enthusiastic reception for the president, with people on balconies and near roadblocks waving and taking pictures. He characterized the trip as an intense, roughly 36-hour day with no hotel downtime, noting the president spoke to reporters on the plane and held events and meetings before returning home. Doocy said he needed a day off afterward to recover.
