By the eleventh day, your schedule Donald trump it was empty. “Without a scheduled appearance,” was the information received by the journalists covering the president. No public appearances, no meetings, no briefings for journalists. This inaction is unprecedented phenomenon in the White House. Even after the elections, the outgoing presidents continue their work, until the day they formally hand over power.

Instead, Trump follows a different agenda. Goes every day by Golf, 40 km from the presidential residence. He visits his office for about two hours and then retires to the dining room, where he watches television while having lunch. When you meet some, they are none other than them lawyers from. According to sources within the White House, he most of the time scolds them because they don’t appear on television as often as they should. The toxic atmosphere leaked when it was learned that the leader of his election campaign called him on the phone “c …… om… ..” Rudy giuliani, personal attorney for the president.

Some days there are scattered discussions about public appearances, which in the end do not take place. Trump refuses to appear anywhere. Impressive, in fact, is the fact that he canceled for Thanksgiving even this visit to Florida, to his favorite mansion. Sea to Lake. To this day, he has never missed the opportunity to vacation there. Even your private meetings are measured with the fingers of one hand. He has dined twice with Vice President Pence. It is impressive that I have not done the standard information of the secret information keepers for over a month. And this at the same time that he denies access to them, as usual, to the president-elect.

THE Joe biden it was forced to convene its own non-governmental national security meeting, allowing journalists and cameras to attend. Trump even stopped communicating with America’s allies, especially after the vast majority of them acknowledged his opponent’s dominance. The latest foreign leader to speak with Trump on the phone is the French president. Emanuel Macron. Instead, he has spoken to some of his friends in the media. Geraldo Rivera, a correspondent for the conservative Fox News, revealed that he spoke to him last week. He described Trump as “realistic” about the situation.

In fact, he has not shown any realism since he does not seem willing to accept the result of the elections. The impasse in which he has found himself is evident. Even their associates have stopped going to their offices, while many of them eagerly awaiting acceptance of their defeat so they can go downstairs. Some are late, others have drastically reduced their stay there. The only issue he discussed was the possibility of bombing its nuclear facilities. Iran last week, something that was almost avoided at the last minute after his advisers insisted that this would lead to a broader conflict in Middle East.

Despite the proximity swear of the new president, neither trucks nor carriers have made an appearance in the White House. Even the daughter and her partner have softened their presence at the presidential residence.
