The Trump White House is humming along with the kind of efficiency Americans voted for in November 2024, as the administration called a routine lunch lid Thursday morning until 12:30 p.m.
A Return to Normalcy
For those unfamiliar with White House operations, a "lid" is press terminology indicating no scheduled public events or movements by the President during that window. It's a standard practice that allows the Commander-in-Chief time for meals, private meetings, and the countless behind-the-scenes decisions that keep America running.
What's notable isn't the lid itself—it's the stark contrast to the Biden years, when such breaks often stretched for hours while handlers desperately tried to manage a clearly diminished occupant of the Oval Office. Remember when Biden's team would call early lids before 2 p.m.? Patriots certainly do.
Transparency in Action
The Trump administration's communication with the press pool reflects the President's commitment to transparency—something the legacy media rarely gives him credit for. The White House press operation, led by the sharp and fearless Karoline Leavitt, continues to keep reporters informed of the President's schedule.
While Democrats and their media allies spent four years claiming Trump was a threat to democracy, it's this administration that actually keeps the American people in the loop about their President's activities.
Stay tuned, folks. With President Trump, the real news is always just around the corner.
