Yeah. I wonder if they know what happened? Like do they watch the news? Do they just get a one paragraphy briefing in the morning? I'd love to know what their information environment is like, what they have access to, what is kept away from their by their aides.
you know how twitter broke a lot of celebrities brains? like, they just could not cope with knowing there were people out there that didn't like them? I wonder what the equivalent is for incumbents and the news their staffers choose not to share.

It must be so awkward trying to manage them. They were already utterly disconnected, alien monsters before they reached old age, so now even if they've got most of their faculties they've still got the cognitive decline everyone gets, they get tired promptly at 4pm, all their knowledge about how the world works is 40+ years out of date. God it must be miserable.
