What I Learned at This Week's White House Press Conference

• Karen Kwiatkowski Substack

The White House press conference of October 23rd centered on the President, sitting on a golden chair between Ken and Barbie. His staff of beautiful women and slightly eggheaded men all articulately competing to flatter the President for his brilliance, his boldness, his courage, his caretaking commitment to the United States. He commended his staff as "most talented" at what they do, "naturals," he said, reading my mind when I had assumed they were made of plastic.

I personally like to watch and listen to President Trump, his tenor, his expository confidence and an accent that mixes New York City with something else I can't explain. The content of what he says is also a lot of fun, and he has wholly rejuvenated the world of adjectives and fish stories. I love the many Trump impersonators who recognize this, and use it to entertain us around the world.

Trump took a moment to lecture a Democrat legislator for using the F-word seven times in one sentence. Trump advised that Democrats do what he does: Use the word only in every seventh contact with the press. Using the F-word is a tool, like all things, to be leveraged, as Trump sees fit.
