Trump's Speaking Volume Strains White House Stenographers

White House stenographers are overwhelmed by President Donald Trump's extensive public speaking, which surpasses the volume during Joe Biden's presidency. Trump spoke over 22,000 words on Inauguration Day alone, and another 17,000 during disaster site visits in North Carolina and California. His relentless commentary, often containing controversial or misleading statements, includes claims about Hamas and U.S. policies, and suggestions for geopolitical changes. This has led to discussions about hiring additional staff to manage the transcription workload. Trump's communication style, marked by frequent and lengthy speeches, contrasts sharply with Biden's more restrained approach, highlighting a significant shift in White House operations. His prolific use of words is seen as a tool for political power and media dominance, often overshadowing opponents and stirring public discourse.
