“Nicole Parker, formerly of the FBI, is doing a great job of explaining, on FoxNews, the Nancy Guthrie investigation. Others also, working so hard, with such expertise and knowledge. Hopefully there will be a positive result!” posted the President of the United States at 9:31 AM on Monday, a statement issued to reassure Americans he’s tirelessly pushing himself to the limits of human capacity around the clock to resolve a crisis that has thus far vexed his government’s greatest minds and…

Well it’s one thing for Donald to be sitting on his fat ass watching Fox News instead of literally anything that might reduce the cost of living for Americans. That’s been priced in with him, as is his praise of one of the self-promoting FBI washouts who quit in 2022 and got right to work as one of Jim Jordan’s fake “whistleblowers” because she didn’t want to arrest the Capitol insurrectionists.

It’s when you put those together with the utter sloth and passivity of “Hopefully there will be a positive result!” on a news cycle that – with all the caveats of being a horrible crime that merits some of the media bandwidth it has received – on balance affects fewer Americans than the stories under headlines like “When does McDonald’s Shamrock Shake come out? See return date,” at USA Today or “Costco May Have Just Quietly Changed Its Returns Policy: Reports” at Newsweek for example.

Like if he’s going to post about it instead of something actually kind of important or relevant why can’t he at the very least post something, anything that carries some imprimatur of initiative and command like “I’m ordering the NSA and CIA to begin examining satellite images from the night of Nancy Guthrie’s abduction to determine if there’s any data on what vehicles might have been in the neighborhood” or whatever. Why not just try to seem decisive and resolute instead of old and lazy?

. Happy President’s Day to @realDonaldTrump the GOAT 🇺🇸 I am humbled by and appreciate your compliment @POTUS . Prayers for Nancy Guthrie and LE who is working tirelessly to bring her home. https://t.co/GJjtJPYyb3

Pretend to be working to accomplish something more than making Parker’s day.
