The White House stenographers have an issue. Donald Trump is speaking so much that those in charge of recording his public speeches are straining to keep up. There were over 22,000 on Inauguration Day, and an additional 17,000 when Trump visited disaster areas in North Carolina and California. Even the most committed stenographer’s ears and fingers will be strained, especially after four years of Joe Biden’s relative silence.
According to those familiar with the discussions, there are currently discussions about adding more workers to keep up with the workload. They insisted on anonymity to discuss internal concerns.
The rush of words is one of the most noticeable or audible transitions from Biden to Trump, who enjoys the spotlight and understands better than most politicians that attention is a form of control. Since the start of his second term, he has spoken almost incessantly, drowning out dissident voices and making it difficult for his opponents to be heard.
Take Wednesday as an example. During a signing ceremony for legislation to accelerate deportations, Trump, a Republican, talked about his accomplishments, claimed Hamas was using US-funded condoms to make bombs in Gaza, defended his administration’s efforts to freeze federal spending and reduce the government workforce, veered through descriptions of migrant violence, and made the surprise announcement that Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, would be used as a detention centre for people who are in the US illegally.
