White House reporters are already “exhausted” with President-elect Donald Trump’s second term before it even starts, members of the press corps told Vanity Fair on Wednesday.
In the article, titled “Reporters Brace for the Frenzy of a Second Trump White House,” New York Times White House correspondent Peter Baker said, “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,” he lamented.

“Everybody’s exhausted, and he hasn’t even taken office yet,” Baker added.
Julia Manchester, a national political reporter for the Hill, referred to the incoming president as “someone who thrives on unpredictability.”
Describing the aftermath of the November 5 election as something like “déjà vu” for the press corps, she said 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 added.
While Meredith McGraw of Politico said that “no matter where Trump goes, what he does, there’s behind-the-scenes drama and intrigue,” she predicted that news publications are not going to jump on every single social media post from Trump like the last time around.

RELATED: THE POOR DEARS: White House Reporters Claim They’re Already ‘Exhausted’ by Second Trump Administration
THE GATEWAY PUNDIT | Published November 30, 2024
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.

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.
