Donald Trump has not even been sworn in yet and White House journalists are already saying that they are ‘exhausted’ by the second Trump administration. Don’t you feel bad for them?
The vast majority of these people like it when Democrats are in charge because they can just act like stenographers, taking the government’s word on everything and rarely asking questions about anything.
Suddenly, when Trump (or any Republican, really) is in charge, they remember that they have to do their jobs and ask questions about things. Almost overnight, they feel the need to ‘fact check’ everything the government tells them. No wonder they’re tired.
FOX News reports:
White House reporters already ‘exhausted’ by second Trump administration
The White House press corps is already “exhausted” at the outset of the second Trump administration.
“Anybody who went through it the last time remembers how nonstop it was. It ends up kind of becoming all-consuming and taking over your life. It wears you down,” New York Times White House correspondent Peter Baker told Vanity Fair on Wednesday, adding that “you have to expect that covering a big story is, by definition, taxing because it’s important.”
Reporters commented on how President-elect Trump was already kicking off a hectic news cycle with his rapid policy and cabinet nomination announcements.
“Everybody’s exhausted, and he hasn’t even taken office yet,” Baker said.
The Hill national political reporter Julia Manchester described Trump as “someone who thrives on unpredictability” with a sense of “déjà vu” permeating the press corps.
“It was right into the fire with this transition, with the Cabinet picks. And I think overall, just outside of the press corps, the country itself was feeling burnt out,” Manchester said.
Some of these people in media should seriously consider a career change.

Maybe trump wont let me media in the room then they will have to get their news from the podcasters. I love it
Yeah, I remember how these “journalists” fact-checked the Russia Hoax. And how they savagely & viciously attacked Sarah Huckabee Sanders for repeatedly telling the truth that it never happened. Yeah, uh huh. Missing in action throughout Joe Biden’s incapacitated Presidency.
I’ll “CIRCLE” back to comment on this article. Yea, that’s right, CIRCLE BACK!!!!!
Boohoo, who’s going to hold your hand now. Oh, you have to work for a living now.
Now you will be the stenographer.
White House Journalists???
In reality most were White House Cheerleaders during the debacle of the Biden-Harris years.
It was a “cush” job doing cut and paste from the Biden-Harris White House scripts.
Sadly they still will be following the directions of the Extreme Left Dems hiding behind the curtain.
If they can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen. Seek a career change.
Yes, it has to be exhausting making up lies every day and having to think up things to ask that are actually relevant and meaningful.
From where I live in eastern NC, I see how ELATED my friends and neighbors are that President Trump is not only back but starting off at a fast pace. None of us are burnt out!! Not with this new happy beginning! Can’t wait until it’s fully implemented. And, yes, I think it will be different this time because we have Trump’s back and he knows exactly who he is dealing with.
I think our press secretary should act no different then the LIBRAL ones, totally dense , and not answer questions and if the reporters start arguing , just walk away. Let them see what they really got with the LIBRALS.and they should look at all of them , hold up a piece of paper and say this is who we will be calling on today. We’ll probably not since the media already spreads enough lies, and makes up their own stories, maybe that’s what the press secretary should start with , just stand there and look at them and say nothing at first , then say , “ok we’re done for today , now go do your news just like you’ve been doing for the last 8 years, tell the people what you have been doing make it all up and lie”.
These reporters are mostly “young!” And they can’t keep up with a 77 yo man? Give me a break!
I watch Liberal reporters complain that Trump and his allies cause confusion and chaos. I disagree. It is SYNERGY of action and solutions by smart people. I can think of 2 examples where this is effective to energize people to do their best for the team and/or group. First example is Admiral Hyman Rickover (1900-1986) who constantly kept his nuclear Navy officers on edge and constantly striving for the best. Constant predictability can cause complacency and lax behavior. As a Seattle Seahawks fan, I know Pete Carroll had a philosophy that every practice was a competition at each position. This competition brought out the best performances. His win-loss record speaks for itself. The White House press corps are probably getting challenged to form stories from the the magnitude of numerous issues being undertaken. It is ALL necessary due to the damage done since January 2021.
Pobrecitos!!!
Calling them journalists is being very generous. If objective OK, because they should be objective, but not subjective as his first administration!
And fact check they will. So here’s the method of “factchecking” by the mainstream lefty media…They take one sentence cut it up and write it to fit their gotcha narrative, then produce an opinion piece disguised as a news article, and call it a ‘factcheck’
What is that old saying about ‘if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen’?
They have been carrying water for the Left for so long, they have forgotten what a job as a REAL reporter is supposed to involve.
Then get out, if you’re exhausted, you haven’t been doing your job, as a good reporter. We need exceptional reporters who fact check what people tell them not just take their word for it. I’m definitely tired of the lies the news companies have been pushing and publishing. We need truth and fresh opinions.
Say goodbye to the WHC monopoly during the daily WH press briefing. The MSM reporters will now take the back seats. The front seats will now be occupied by podsters and newspapers that are friendly to President Trump.
They are already feeling burnt out? The only thing that I’m burnt out on is Trump impeachments, Russian collusion hoaxes, DOJ laptop cover ups, Trump indictments after the statute of limitations, and LGBTQ+ agenda being blasted over the airwaves every day.
the inevitable result of having to actually use your intellect after years of memorization, brainwashing and indoctrination. Half of them will be stepping down in the near future
They actually need to read and interview instead of just printing or reading the same talking points they’re all usually handed.
