I’d agree with you about every administration except this one. I think that it is highly likely that Trump is watching this crap.

Critical Hurricane Forecast Tool Abruptly Terminated
U.S. Department of Defense announced Tuesday it would no longer process and deliver data essential to most hurricane forecasts

True.
But not true in this White House.
And that's not just a slam.
Jonathan Karl made the point that when he was in the White House between the election and the inauguration of Biden, EVERY SINGLE TV that was on was on Fox News. You know, the Reagan team learned what they had to address when he got shot by watching ALL of the networks to see what was being said.
Yeah, that's pretty weird. Then again, anyone with a thimble's worth of brain cells know exactly what position is being taken by any given network on any given topic. This was decidedly not the case in Reagan's day. (At least, I don't think it was. Admittedly, I wasn't paying attention back then. The only time I noticed the news was when they interrupted the broadcast of "The A-Team" and I missed a firefight where 500 rounds were shot and not one person was ever hit.)
Got to do something between golfing.
I wonder who our last president was that didn’t play golf. If you want to know my feelings toward this game, just look up George Carlin’s bit, “Golf Courses For the Homeless.” I obviously can’t link it.
Carter.
Although W never played golf (at least on camera) after 9/11, mostly because he knew of the bad press that he would get if he was seen on a golf course while he was overseeing two wars.
I stand corrected, although I did not even know about that until today. I was in medical school at the time so I wasn’t watching a lot of television.
One thing for sure, trump doesn't need to watch Fox, although I'm sure he does anyway. Half of his administrartin is from there.

Supreme Court limits nationwide orders that have blocked Trump’s birthright citizenship ban
The case focused on nationwide injunctions, not the constitutionality of President Donald Trump’s ban on birthright citizenship.
The Supreme Court on Friday backed President Donald Trump’s request to scale back nationwide orders that have for months blocked the administration’s ban on automatic citizenship for the U.S.-born babies of undocumented immigrants and foreign visitors, a signature piece of Trump’s efforts to restrict immigration.
The court’s three liberal justices dissented from the ruling, which sends the cases back to the lower courts to determine the practical implications of the majority’s decision. (Read the ruling and dissents here.)
The justices were not directly addressing the constitutionality of the president’s birthright citizenship order, which opponents say conflicts with the 14th Amendment, past court rulings and the nation’s history.

America’s incredible stock market rebound is complete as S&P 500, Nasdaq hit record highs
(from CNN Friday)
Markets got another boost Friday after China signaled it would reopen its rare earth market to the United States. The news came just hours after White House officials said the two sides had reached a deal — a major breakthrough following weeks of negotiations.
Despite a 10% universal tariff that remains in place, in addition to 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum, and 25% tariffs on autos and auto parts, markets have largely looked past trade in recent weeks, focusing instead on other reasons for optimism or concern.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friday said he believes trade negotiations with other countries could be “wrapped up” by Labor Day, providing a more relaxed framework for inking deals than the original July 9 deadline.
Bessent said in an interview on Fox Business that the United States has 18 “important trading partners” that it is seeking to make deals with. “If we can ink 10 or 12 of the important 18 … then I think we could have trade wrapped up by Labor Day,” he said, without specifying the countries.
A boom in AI, fueled by surging sales for Nvidia’s chips and a Republican-led effort to deregulate the industry, has been one of the primary catalysts that have fueled stocks and helped investors move beyond the trade war. Hopes for a rate cut from the Federal Reserve, backed by reasonably strong economic numbers and low inflation, have also helped stocks in recent months.

President Trump had a historically good week. In fact it might be the best week of President Trump’s presidency. Don’t take my word for it, take CNN’s.
Is this good? Stock market gains under Biden were summarily dismissed with "Have you seen the price of groceries?!?!?"
So, have you SEEN the price of groceries?
