President Trump is old, and it shows. But in his second term in the White House, he's not just old – he's cloistered. After building his political career on massive rallies, he's spent significantly more time this year on international travel and hanging out with billionaires, and significantly less time with the Americans who actually voted for him. Could that be why he's spent way more energy focused on getting America psyched up for a war with Venezuela and building a new ballroom than pretty much anything his base supported him for? To find out, we spoke to Jonathan Lemire, staff writer at The Atlantic and co-host of Morning Joe on MSNOW, about his piece called "The Bubble-Wrapped President." And in headlines, the president holds another perfectly normal cabinet meeting, more immigration judges get pink slips, and the Trump administration threatens to cut off SNAP payments in most Democratic-led states next week… unless those states turn over detailed personal records on aid recipients.

  • It's Wednesday, December 3rd.

  • I'm Jane Costin, and this is What A Day,

  • the show thanking President Donald Trump for recognizing National Green Bean Castor All Day.

  • And I just want to wish everybody a great holiday week.

  • He said this on Tuesday.

  • On today's show, fetch the White House knee pads.

  • It's time for another gravel fest or Trump cabinet meeting.

  • And eight immigration judges in New York get fired for what I'm sure will turn out to be perfectly legitimate reasons.

  • But let's start with Donald Trump.

  • As I just mentioned, President Trump held a cabinet meeting on Tuesday.

  • And when he wasn't screaming about the evils of Somali immigrants or ranting about how Fox News business is fake news,

  • he was falling asleep.

  • Or as my grandmother would say,

  • the president of the United States was resting his eyes during a cabinet meeting,

  • a move I usually reserve for televised golf.

  • Trump is old, and it shows.

  • But in his second term in the White House, he's not just old, he's cloistered.

  • After building his political career on massive rallies,

  • he spent significantly more time this year on international travel and hanging out with billionaires,

  • and significantly less time with the Americans who actually voted for him.
