we've had persistence from the previous president, like we're seeing in barack obama, it is petulent but happened. herbert hoover resented fdc. didn't show up to show him around the white house. they let somebody else do that. they subsequently had three meetings together. hoover tried to muscle fdr to cosigning the document where two of them would agree this would be the new policy to address the great depression. fdr had none of it. hey, buddy, i got elected president, not you. i will make that decision myself. uma: he made that very clear. as far as speeches go in history, we know forge washington delivered the shortest speech, just 135 words, compared to william henry harrison whose speech was more than 8,000 words and took him 2 1/2 hours to deliver. in today's era of electronic messages and short attention, should there be a time limit on a speech to be effective, in your view? >> i don't think we have a problem with donald trump, uma. he is the twitter president. he is going to be just fine. for all the concerns people have about trump, the east wing, they have got that made.
