CNN Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins said that covering President Donald Trump�s second term was causing her to skip breakfast and
work weekends because the news cycle, where he was concerned, was
�essentially nonstop.�

Collins made the observation during a recent appearance on NBC�s �Late Night with Seth Meyers� after he asked what it was like covering a president who often made news at such a breakneck pace.

�When Biden first took office in January, the New York Times wrote
a story about how quiet the weekends were � Now we're back to
basically where it's just essentially nonstop every day.�

�So, you�re doing this, every day, ah, you�re in D.C.,� Meyers began. �The
pace of the Trump administration seems to be moving pretty quickly. How are
you holding up?�

�It is insane,� Collins replied, adding, �And I think everyone is kind of
like readjusting and re-remembering what it was like four years ago, pre-four years ago.�

She went on to compare the pace of the Trump administration to that of his predecessor, former President Joe Biden � and referenced a piece published shortly after Biden took office noting the differences between the two.

�I remember when � when Biden first took office in January, The New York
Times wrote this story about how quiet the weekends were, because for reporters, every weekend had been just like another � it was like a seven-day work week. And now we�re back to basically where it�s just essentially
nonstop every day.�

Collins then told a personal story about how she had gotten up one morning intending to stop for a �nice little breakfast� before she had to go to work covering Trump�s White House, but after walking halfway to her destination, she�d gotten word that the president was preparing to do an early press conference.

�Halfway there, they were like, Trump�s doing a press conference in an hour, and I physically ran back home so I could change and get ready,� she said.

Biden, by comparison, spent approximately 40% of his presidency on vacation, often leaving reporters with little to cover except what he was not doing.

Yeah, it's amazing how different it is when the president isn't a walking corpse who calls a lid at noon because it's time for pudding.
