Good Monday morning.
Here is what’s on the president’s agenda today:
- The president has lunch with the Vice President
Two minutes of hate:
At some point over the weekend, former Veep Joe Biden allegedly fell and injured his foot while playing with one of his dogs. (Maybe someone in the media should ask the Pet Psychic about this?) The media doesn’t seem nearly as interested in Biden’s health as they were in Trump’s health which is odd since Biden appears frail, he is older than Trump and has a medical history peppered with serious medical conditions. Who remembers one of the greatest press conferences in the history of the United States, the press conference with Dr. Ronnie Jackson taking questions about the results of Trump’s physical examination? All the curiosity we saw that that presser has just evaporated. Alas, it turns out that Biden has some hairline fractures in his foot.
UPDATE: Biden has "hairline fractures" in his mid-foot and will "likely require a walking boot for several weeks.” per pooler @JonathanTamari

Speaking of the media, we learned yesterday that former VP “Biden” will have a press office full of ladyfolk. OMG U GUYZ! But the media really doesn’t care about women running the comms shop because they treated Sarah Sanders, Alyssa Farah, Stephanie Grisham and Kaleigh McEnany like garbage but they are swooning over this bold move by “Biden.” Never forget, the left doesn’t believe the ideas it shoves down your throat.
Derp state spook John Brennan had a rough weekend after he learned that his comrade, Iran’s chief nuclear scientist, was assassinated. Sorry for your loss.
This was a criminal act & highly reckless. It risks lethal retaliation & a new round of regional conflict.
Iranian leaders would be wise to wait for the return of responsible American leadership on the global stage & to resist the urge to respond against perceived culprits. https://t.co/0uZhyBTM3S— John O. Brennan (@JohnBrennan) November 27, 2020
The EU condemned the murder and the New York Times wants you to know that Iran’s nukes were for “peaceful purposes.”
Iranian officials, who have always maintained that their nuclear ambitions are for peaceful purposes, not weapons, expressed fury and vowed revenge over the assassination, calling it an act of terrorism and warmongering https://t.co/8JdtG2Syqb

Finally, according to political tabloid The Daily Beast, Trump considers launching his 2024 campaign during Biden’s inauguration.
According to three people familiar with the conversations, the president, who refuses to acknowledge he lost the 2020 election as he clearly did, has not just talked to close advisers and confidants about a potential 2024 run to reclaim the White House but about the specifics of a campaign launch. The conversations have explored, among other things, how Trump could best time his announcement so as to keep the Republican Party behind him for the next four years. Two of these knowledgeable sources said the president has, in the past two weeks, even floated the idea of doing a 2024-related event during Biden’s inauguration week, possibly on Inauguration Day, if his legal effort to steal the 2020 election ultimately fails.
What would get more viewership, Biden’s inauguration or a Trump 2024 announcement?
