As a timeframe, Donald Trump's use of "two weeks" isn't just frequent, per some articles. It's habitual.
He's used that timeframe, per our database:
• 1168 times in 698 unique events
• 691 times in 371 unique events just as president
More this weekend, with data...
The president talks, we write it down. Okay, we do a little more than that, but it definitely includes that :-)

Have a lot of automation but humans (unless the transcript is labeled AI, which we sometimes release until proofreading is done and it is always labeled as such) proofread and check every word. This was proofread.

In golf terms, we play it as it lies…
Hello. We are double checking now. Always possible we missed something in proofreading. Will report back shortly.

Last point: The Trump WH's scrubbing of transcripts makes the existence of outside databases, like @factba.se, all the more valuable. Here's my full story for CNN www.cnn.com/2025/05/22/m...

2/3. It's also the longest since 1935, but we're missing video for 15 of the 91 years, so can't be 100% certain.
Fun fact: since Reagan (and since 1935, with gaps noted), the five longest joint addresses were either Donald Trump or Bill Clinton. Top 5 by length:

Just a quick note: The White House has not sent a daily calendar since Jan 3rd (for the 4th and 5th). We're piecing together the rest from Week Aheads and pool reports, but there may be a delay until they start doing it again.

The interview with @kwelkernbc and @realDonaldTrump on @NBCNews's @MeetThePress ends a 33-day gap between public interviews. The gap is not unusual. It's the 8th time during his term or transition there that there was a gap >= 4 weeks.
