White House Press Already “Exhausted” by Trump’s Return

President Donald Trump’s second term hasn’t even started, and White House reporters are already worn out.

They’re used to coasting under Democratic administrations.

You know, where questioning authority was out of the question.

But now that President Trump is returning, no more easy questions.

Let’s just say accountability is their strong suit.

Do they get our sympathy?

Hardly.

And it’s not even Day 1 yet.

These reporters aren’t getting any sympathy online.

Normally I wouldn’t be celebrating someone else’s misery, but in this case I’m happily willing to make an exception.

The Gateway Pundit reports:

Donald Trump has not even been sworn in yet and White House journalists are already saying that they are ‘exhausted’ by the second Trump administration. Don’t you feel bad for them?

The vast majority of these people like it when Democrats are in charge because they can just act like stenographers, taking the government’s word on everything and rarely asking questions about anything.

Suddenly, when Trump (or any Republican, really) is in charge, they remember that they have to do their jobs and ask questions about things. Almost overnight, they feel the need to ‘fact check’ everything the government tells them. No wonder they’re tired.

FOX News adds:

“Anybody who went through it the last time remembers how nonstop it was. It ends up kind of becoming all-consuming and taking over your life. It wears you down,” New York Times White House correspondent Peter Baker told Vanity Fair on Wednesday, adding that “you have to expect that covering a big story is, by definition, taxing because it’s important.”

Reporters commented on how President-elect Trump was already kicking off a hectic news cycle with his rapid policy and cabinet nomination announcements.

“Everybody’s exhausted, and he hasn’t even taken office yet,” Baker said.

How do you feel about it?

Should we create a Go Fund Me for these reporters?

Send them on a nice long holiday?

Maybe to North Carolina so they can work on all the damage from Hurricane Helene.
