Media Elites Whine They Are ‘Exhausted’ Just 5 Days into Trump’s Presidency

<https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2025/01/24/media-elites-whine-they-are-exhausted-just-5-days-into-trumps-presidency/>

'Establishment media personalities say they are already worn out from
covering President Donald Trump and his resurgent drive to deliver the “Golden Age of America.”

Media elites did not have to work very hard during the previous
administration.

President Joe Biden rarely gave interviews and appeared to hide from the
public due to his health. Interviews conducted by the Wall Street
Journal revealed Biden’s aides protected the “diminished” president from cabinet members, donors, pollsters, the media, and top Democrat
lawmakers.


With Trump’s return, his executive orders, pardons, and policies are
already flooding the media landscape, such as Thursday’s bombshell
report of ICE capturing illegal aliens and deporting them.

Day four “feels like month four,” Puck’s Tara Palmeri whined Thursday, noting she was hesitant to report the news for fear of “piling on to the deluge of Trump news.”

“Exhausted yet?” Susan Glasser, a staff writer at The New Yorker, asked readers in a report with a list of Trump’s immediate actions since
taking office:

Exhausted yet? It’s been three full days since Donald Trump returned to
the Presidency, and so far he has pulled the U.S. out of the Paris
climate treaty and the World Health Organization; announced the
unilateral cancellation of the Constitution’s guarantee of birthright citizenship; reversed an order lowering prescription-drug prices for
seniors; threatened a trade war with Canada and Mexico starting February
1st and an actual war with Panama if it doesn’t hand over the Panama
Canal; declared an emergency at the southern border and moved to order thousands of U.S. military personnel there; eliminated federal
government programs to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion and
demanded that employees snitch on anyone inside the bureaucracy who
might be tempted to continue doing such work anyway; and pardoned the
vast majority of the pro-Trump insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol
on January 6, 2021, at his behest. And that was in between sword-dancing onstage to the Village People at an inaugural ball; cashing in on the Presidency by marketing the $TRUMP cryptocoin, currently worth billions
of dollars; and getting in a pissing match with an Episcopalian bishop
who dared to question him to his face.

New York Times’s columnist David Brooks complained the media had a four
year vacation from doing their job and is “once again” having to cover
the large amount of news Trump generates.

“After a four-year hiatus, we are once again compelled to go spelunking
into the deeper caverns of Donald Trump’s brain,” he wrote.


CNN’s Brian Stelter, who denied Hunter Biden’s laptop was was “Russian disinformation,” told readers of his news letter that commentators like
him have to get “back on Trump Time,” which he said would be difficult because media elites will have to decide how they should frame and spin
the news:

With 45 now back in office as 47, journalists are getting back on Trump
Time (conveniently, Trump has licensed his name to a watchmaker) and
going back to some of the debates that defined his first term. Should
his remarks be shown live? Yes, sometimes. Should his deceitful claims
be debunked by reporters? Yes. Should he dictate what’s considered
“news” at any given moment? No. The biggest news story right now isn’t Trump per se, it’s Trump’s impacts on ordinary people in the U.S. and beyond.

Americans’ trust in the establishment media to report current events “fully, accurately and fairly” plummeted to a record low in 2024, Gallup polling found in October. The decline in trust indicates the media lost credibility due to pushing false narratives, such as Hunter Biden’s
laptop story, Russian collusion, the source of the 2020 pandemic, the
January 6 investigation, and numerous hoaxes.

Trump’s landslide victory is likely to ensure free speech will flourish.

“We have saved free speech in America,” Trump told Davos attendees Thursday, slamming disinformation'

Exhausted yet?

Nope. Re-energized, in fact.

It’s been three full days since Donald Trump returned to
the Presidency,

Only 1460~ days to go.

and so far he has pulled the U.S. out of the Paris
climate treaty

Excellent. Worthless, toothless pact that assaults taxpayers'
sensibilities, if not their pocketbooks.

and the World Health Organization;

Perfect. Another waste of US taxpayer money.

announced the
unilateral cancellation of the Constitution’s guarantee of birthright citizenship;

Unconstitutional. Won't even make it to the SCOTUS since it's a clear violation.

reversed an order lowering prescription-drug prices for
seniors;

Sounds sinister until one realizes it is a funding reversal of the
stupidly named inflation reduction act.

threatened a trade war with Canada and Mexico starting February

Art of the deal.

1st and an actual war with Panama if it doesn’t hand over the Panama
Canal;

You're dumb enough to believe it.

declared an emergency at the southern border and moved to order
thousands of U.S. military personnel there;

Long overdue and high time a president took it as seriously as it
deserves to be.

eliminated federal
government programs to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion

Outstanding!

and
demanded that employees snitch on anyone inside the bureaucracy who
might be tempted to continue doing such work anyway;

Anyone remember covid snitch rules? Karma.

and pardoned the
vast majority of the pro-Trump insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol
on January 6, 2021, at his behest.

As they should be. Only 7000 to go to catch up to the number of pardons
Biden signed.

And that was in between sword-dancing
onstage to the Village People at an inaugural ball;

Meanwhile, Biden's doing the shuffle with his walker.

cashing in on the
Presidency by marketing the $TRUMP cryptocoin, currently worth billions
of dollars;

Capitalism's a bitch, isn't it?

and getting in a pissing match with an Episcopalian bishop
who dared to question him to his face.

The bulldyke abused an opportunity for unity instead opting to make it
all about herself (or is it himself?). The grandstading lesbian has been
a regular Trump detractor. Nothing unexpected here.
