He held a lengthy press conference discussing critical issues such as the border wall and the hostage\u200b situation in \u200dthe Middle East, attended the Army-Navy football game, and participated in an interview on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press.&#8221; \u2063Additionally, he \u200btraveled to Paris for the reopening of Notre \u200cDame and met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr \u200czelensky regarding the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict. Trump has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russian-missile-or-rockets-strike-poland-how-will-nato-respond\/\" title=\"Russian Missile Or Rockets Strike Poland: How Will NATO Respond?\">threatened severe consequences<\/a> for\u2064 Hamas if hostages are not released, and his \u200bremarks prompted discussions with\u200c Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia \u2062Sheinbaum about border\u2063 security and drug trafficking. <\/p>\n<p>In contrast, President Joe Biden has had\u2062 a quieter few weeks, spending Thanksgiving in Nantucket and attending social functions in Washington. Despite not being inaugurated for another 33 days,Trump&#8217;s\u2062 actions and\u200b discussions with world \u2064leaders suggest that many are treating him as \u200bthough he is already\u2063 in office.

On Saturday, he attended the famed Army-Navy football game. Last Sunday, his interview with NBC News&rsquo; &ldquo;Meet the Press&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/donald-trump\/trump-interview-meet-press-kristen-welker-election-president-rcna182857\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">aired<\/a>, also more than an hour. Earlier this month, he made an appearance at the historic reopening of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about the Ukraine-Russia war, and threatened &ldquo;hell to pay&rdquo; if hostages held by Hamas terrorists are not released. Just days before that, he met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to discuss the drugs and human beings trafficked into the U.S. across the border and had a similar call with the president of Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Joe Biden spent Thanksgiving in Nantucket, got <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CollinRugg\/status\/1863980091044438216\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lost<\/a> onstage in Africa, and <a href=\"https:\/\/rollcall.com\/factbase\/biden\/topic\/calendar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attended<\/a> a few social functions in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump won&rsquo;t be inaugurated for another 33 days, but he, Joe Biden, and the rest of the world are all acting like he&rsquo;s the president already.<\/p>\n<p>For example: Trump got the attention of both Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo on Nov. 25 when he <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/113546215051155542\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">threatened<\/a> to impose &ldquo;a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States&rdquo; from both border countries if they continue doing nothing to stop the waves of illegal aliens and substances pouring across the border. Two days later, Sheinbaum and Trump had what he <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/113557687421746022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">called<\/a> a &ldquo;very productive conversation&rdquo; about Mexico&rsquo;s role in putting a stop to the border invasion.<\/p>\n<p>A week later, &ldquo;Sheinbaum announced the seizure of more than a ton of fentanyl in two raids in the state of Sinaloa,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/world-nation\/story\/2024-12-12\/tariffs-cast-shadow-on-u-s-mexico-relations-as-trump-return-looms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> the L.A. Times under a headline declaring &ldquo;Mexico cracks down on drugs and migrants.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Trudeau hopped on a plane and flew down to Trump&rsquo;s Palm Beach home to dine with Trump on the day after Thanksgiving following Trump&rsquo;s tariff threat. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JustinTrudeau\/status\/1862952145550475414\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">post<\/a> afterward thanking Trump for dinner, Trudeau <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cy8787nxl7do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> he&nbsp;&ldquo;look[ed] forward to the work we can do together.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>On Dec. 2, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/113584730902816413\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">threatened<\/a> that &ldquo;if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East.&rdquo; Monday, Barron&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barrons.com\/news\/israel-minister-says-not-been-this-close-to-a-deal-on-gaza-hostages-07bb3193\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> that &ldquo;Israeli negotiators have never been closer to a deal for the release of hostages in Gaza&rdquo; since November of last year, citing Israeli and Hamas sources.<\/p>\n<p>Later that week, France literally <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-paris-notre-dame-f97fde62ca2ce68c3874c395b305e26b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rolled out the red carpet<\/a> for Trump, who arrived in Paris to celebrate the reopening of Notre Dame after it burned in 2019. (Joe Biden declined to attend, sending his wife instead.) Trump met with French President Emmanuel Macron along with Zelensky and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-calls-ceasefire-ukraine-russia-zelenskyy-meeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">urged<\/a> an &ldquo;immediate ceasefire and negotiations&rdquo; to end the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>In between, Trump has found time to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/14\/us\/politics\/trump-diplomacy-night-mar-a-lago.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more than 80<\/a> personnel picks and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/14\/us\/politics\/trump-diplomacy-night-mar-a-lago.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">host<\/a> foreign dignitaries such as Sara Netanyahu, wife of the Israeli prime minister, and Akie Abe, the widow of assassinated Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Zuckerberg, whose <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">company helped throttle reporting<\/a> that would have hurt Donald Trump&rsquo;s opponent in the 2020 election, also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/27\/us\/politics\/mark-zuckerberg-trump-meeting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dined<\/a> with Trump at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-names-kristi-noem-as-dhs-secretary-nominee-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Trump names Kristi Noem as DHS secretary nominee - Washington Examiner\">incoming president&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s Mar-a-Lago home a few weeks ago.

When was the last time the sitting president answered questions unscripted on any of those topics?<\/p>\n<p>In a press conference Monday, just about a week after &ldquo;Meet the Press&rdquo; aired, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZGqwYXnyH78\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced<\/a> a deal in which Japan&rsquo;s SoftBank Group pledged a $100 billion investment &ldquo;creating 100,000 American jobs at a minimum.&rdquo; Afterward, he took questions from reporters for roughly 45 minutes, during which time he also <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/12\/16\/trump-on-drone-sightings-the-government-knows-what-is-happening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reassured<\/a> Americans about recent viral drone sightings in New Jersey, something the current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/white-house-mystery-drones-everything-said-2002216\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">president<\/a> has yet to comment on.<\/p>\n<p>After facing obstruction at every turn from the moment he assumed the presidency in 2016, one of the biggest concerns surrounding Trump&rsquo;s second term has been whether he&rsquo;ll be able to hit the ground running on day one. From the looks of things, he&rsquo;s not doing just that &mdash; he&rsquo;s getting a two-month head start.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Elle Purnell is the elections editor at The Federalist.
