From the WaPo Power Up newsletter:
One example puts Trump's absence into full relief: “On Thursday, six American service members were killed in a helicopter crash during a peacekeeping mission in Egypt,” our colleague writes. “It was Biden who offered the first public condolences to the families of the service members who died in Egypt.”
What was Trump doing?: “By that time, Trump had issued nearly four dozen critical tweets and retweets about the election results and Fox News, including a baseless conspiracy theory from a far-right television network that alleged votes had been improperly tallied in Pennsylvania. He also found time to thank actor Scott Baio for posting a photo of a craft store’s candle display, which had been arranged to spell out, ‘Trump is still your president.’”

Omg. This is so disturbing. I hope when Biden takes office, they can begin making laws about what a president can and cannot do in office so we never have to deal with this nonsense again.

That would take the senate to actually vote on bills the house passes. Mitch won’t do that so no ‘we’ can’t Unless maybe the LP can wrangle up some GOP with morals & spines who are senators Actually scratch that it won’t matter if Mitch refuses to put them out to vote

I don’t think I appreciated until the past few years the importance of just being presidential—I thought of that as more superficial. But, yes, basics like contacting grieving families and offering genuine sympathy and support—whatever your politics, I am telling you, it will be nice to have someone in the White House who does that.
