In a stunning and electrifying appearance, President Trump amazed the media with a dynamic question-and-answer session in the Oval Office. This unprecedented event took place on a Monday night, as Trump signed a series of executive orders and issued pardons and commutations for those involved in the January 6 unrest. The entire session lasted approximately 45 minutes, during which Trump deftly fielded questions from a swarm of reporters, marking a striking shift from the preceding four years characterized by media narratives surrounding Joe Biden’s alleged cognitive decline.
Will Scharf, a former personal attorney of Trump who played a pivotal role in numerous court battles the previous year, has now been appointed by Trump as the White House staff secretary. Scharf diligently presented Trump with binders containing the executive orders and pardons, offering insightful explanations to both Trump and the assembled reporters regarding each document’s significance.
As noted by Matt Viser from The Washington Post, “President Trump sits and takes question after question from reporters in the Oval Office, something that almost never happened with President Biden.” This sharp contrast in presidential accessibility has not gone unnoticed, highlighting a renewed era of transparency and direct communication with the media under Trump’s leadership.
Mike Glenn, a reporter from the Washington Times, couldn’t help but observe, “To see President Trump just sitting there chatting with reporters while signing a stack of Executive Orders is pretty striking when compared to how Biden operated over the last four years.” Glenn’s remarks underscore the return to an administration characterized by openness and engagement.
Marc Caputo from Axios shared an intriguing anecdote, “Amazing TV just now, reporter just asked Trump if Biden had written him a letter and Trump opened a Resolute Desk drawer and found it. He almost opened it and read it in front of everyone but opted not to.” This moment of candid curiosity added another layer of interest to the session, showcasing a president who is both spontaneous and respectful of tradition.

In the course of the 45-minute session, Trump fielded questions on a wide range of topics, including the January 6 pardons, potential pardons involving Biden’s family, foreign policy strategies, Elon Musk, and DOGE.
This multifaceted dialogue not only highlighted Trump’s willingness to tackle tough questions but also his determination to deliver justice and transparency in governance.
How refreshing to see a President that can think for himself, can speak without Americans asking “what the hell did he just say” and not having to watch Biden searching for an aid or note pad to scroll through for answers.
It is a great day to bring competency and common sense back into our Presidency. I hope Joe and his Alice Cooper looking wife have to live out their days knowing that he was the WORST President in the history of this country no matter what the Marxist try to paint him as!
So these press people’s thought Biden hiding himself from the press for four years is normal??
Trump, always the quintessential showman, delivers in spades once again! I always thought that Reagan was a great showman, but it appears Trump trumps Ronnie even! Love it!
I am so happy he’s back thank God have always loved him
A great President and great man! The people of the USA have spoken!
Biden answered few questions because he was not sure what his handlers wanted him to say.
Trump is now in charge not the deep state or corrupt Globalist Establishment Elite.
YES!!!! 100%…
OUR LAST HOPE, A TRUE BATTLE CAPTAIN
America, we are once again on the path to make America great again. Why? Because over 75 million of us have re-elected the very first true ‘Battle Captain’ to ever serve as our President and Commander-in-Chief. Why do I say Donald Trump is our first true Battle Captain? Because, Donald Trump is the first president to regularly demonstrate that the ‘Seven C’s of Leadership’ are a part of his character. The ‘Seven C’s of Leadership’ listed in the order of their importance as determined in a 1980 survey of 1645 ground combat veterans are: CANDOR, COMPETENCE, COMMITMENT, CONSISTENCY, COURAGE, COMPASSION, and COURTESY.
As one of the army officers charged with finding a true Battle Captain among all those army officers serving this nation from the Revolutionary War through the Vietnam Conflict, I can testify that we only found one officer who made the grade of ‘Battle Captain’. And, he like Donald Trump was not a professional soldier. A year before the Battle of Gettysburg he was a college professor, yet most historians credit him for saving the Union Forces left flank and forcing General Lee to commit his forces to a frontal attack which failed. The Battle of Gettysburg is generally credited as the turning point of the Civil War and lead to the surrender of the Confederate Forces two years later.
Donald Trump has proven that he is indeed a Battle Captain. He has turned the attacks on our flanks and now I am confident he will succeed in an overwhelming envelopment of all the forces trying to destroy America. God bless and protect Donald Trump, and God Bless and protect America as we help Donald Trump make America great again. I leave you with one question. Are you willing to fight for America, your family, and/or yourself?
