        Back when our leaders used to write their own notes.

        Bush refused to have the helicopter land on the front lawn as that was reserved for the president.

        The discipline of his thinking and notetaking here is pretty remarkable. And it seems like he was writing down his thoughts in real-time, not to be remembered later, but to help him process the enormity of the situation as it unfolded. Don't think I've ever seen that.

        Have to appreciate the cool presence of mind to note all this down in a very uncertain situation.

        Looks like a program. He actually wrote much of his own words. Writing is undervalued.

        I remember that day. I was working at a grocery store and they started playing patriotic music on the overhead sound system. Customers just looked worried.

        Sigh. Wonder if an historian, in 50 years will Tweet, or whatever means there is then, all of Trumps horrendous "notes". So embarrassing.
