As we reported, The New York Times put out a story that claimed President Donald Trump was showing signs of "fatigue," claiming there was a change in the number of events that he was holding/attending compared to the first year of his first term, and Americans were seeing him "less than they used to."
This is utter bunk, as he seems to have been continuously working since he hit the ground in his second term, and is constantly available and responding to the press. If anything, he's too available, because he wants to get his points out to the American people; he should delegate more to his very competent media team.
This "fatigue" narrative about Trump is rich, given that Democrats and the media didn't want to look under the hood of what was going on with Joe Biden, where there were real issues of concern.
However, what was surprising was that even MS NOW host Katy Tur pushed back against that report, while on "The Daily Beast Podcast" with host Joanna Coles.
MS Now’s Katy Tur concedes: President Trump is “doing much more than Joe Biden did. He is out there in a way that past Presidents haven’t been out there. He does give access, he’s constantly on television.” pic.twitter.com/iQMqEErzMi

"I think, not to get on the bandwagon and to push back a little bit, he is doing much more than, certainly Joe Biden did," Tur said, in a clip flagged by Mediaite.
"He is out there in a way that past presidents haven’t even been out there. He does give access. He’s constantly on television," Tur added. "He might be slowing down for him and slowing down because he’s getting up there in age, but he is still very much mobile. I mean, he’s doing overseas travel. He’s coming back, he’s handing out Halloween candy. Sometimes these trips are one day. I mean, he is very much still engaged."
That's a great observation about how much he's often doing in a day, too. He did deals in Asia to help bring investment in the U.S. to translate into jobs for Americans, and then flew back on the same day to do the traditional duty of handing out Halloween candy.
Meanwhile, Biden was doing nothing, with frequently one event or nothing on his schedule, and more importantly, not delivering things that were beneficial to the country, as Trump is doing. Instead, Biden's staff had him avoiding the press or giving very minimal contact. His staff was constantly calling early lids.
While Trump is receiving awards and being nominated for Nobel prizes by foreign governments, with Biden, we got reports of how he was "losing focus" at meetings with world leaders and ducking out on dinners.

Not only did Tur offer up a defense of Trump, but she also revealed a bad moment she observed with Biden.
"I went to the Christmas party, during the Biden years, and he came out at like eight o'clock, and he gave a speech to the assembled room of journalists, and you could not understand a word he was saying, right," Tur said. "It's different."
You're darn right it's different. Competence versus incompetence. Involvement versus cognitive decline.
Did she reveal this Biden story before? When was this? They feel they can talk about it now, when it doesn't matter, but that's a pretty big thing if you can't even understand what he's saying.
That's the whole problem with this "fatigue" narrative from the Democrats and media. We can see Trump all the time, so we know he doesn't have Biden's issues.
But where was the whole breakdown of Biden's activities when he was in office? Instead, all the clips of Biden's issues were just largely dismissed.
