.MaddowBlog: Maybe Trump should start attending more task force meetings?
overnight, noting Trump's daily routine includes several hours of cable news viewing in the morning, followed by his arrival in the Oval Office"as late as noon." He doesn't devote two hours a day to a radio show, preferring instead to invest nearly as much time -- and in some cases, even more time -- into his White House press briefings.
Mr. Trump rarely attends the task force meetings that precede the briefings, and he typically does not prepare before he steps in front of the cameras. He is often seeing the final version of the day's main talking points that aides have prepared for him for the first time although aides said he makes tweaks with a Sharpie just before he reads them live.
