For years we''d see presidents just strolling across the lawn to and from the helicopter -- sometimes joined by a doggie, or a wife, etc. Sometimes waving to the cameraman.
Prez T started to new trend of allowing dozens of reporters there for Q&A, behind a rope line, with all kinds of questions for 5 min or more. Not done by his predecessors. Prez T led the entire globe in shutting down travels from foreign lands -- earliest country ever to do it. An example soon copied by some and eventually by most countries. The earliest shut down Jan 31 covered China and also Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen. Feb 1 he expanded the travel ban to include Burma, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Tanzania and Sudan. Later he added warnings for Japan and South Korea. And the next step was travel ban for Europe & the UK. Meanwhile most Dems including Biden was criticizing Trump's travel restrictions and calling them hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Prez T set new open-ness & communication levels, with all his lawn appearances, answering a bunch of reporter's questions, before helicopter flights. All presidents have done this. Are you saying that Biden should be doing this now? I am sure there will be plenty of honest, open communication from Biden starting January 20. Biden will be very visible as president. Trump's lack of openness conceiled the seriousness of the coronavirus from the country from the very beginning. |
