Psaki: “We May Never Know Why Trump Spent A Week Hiding Entirely From The American Public”
MSNBC host Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary for former President Joe Biden, delivered a monologue on President Donald Trump taking a short break from media appearances after making numerous public appearances the week prior.
JEN PSAKI, MSNBC HOST: Now, just to be clear, we went in just a very quick span there. We went from Trump saying he hadn’t heard about the rumors of his death, to Trump saying he did hear about them from reports, to then back to Trump saying he hadn’t heard anything about any of it, in the span of approximately 60 seconds in the Oval Office today. Really can’t make this stuff up sometimes. And look, we may never know why Donald Trump suddenly spent a week hiding entirely from the American public, but you don’t actually need baseless online conspiracies to explain why he might not want to show his face in public right now. I mean, for starters, there’s the polling, and boy, is it brutal. Americans are more and more pessimistic about their lives right now. A newly released Wall Street Journal poll finds that the percentage of Americans who think they have a good chance of improving their standard of living has fallen to just 25 percent, which is a new low in nearly four decades of polling that particular question.
