Presidents Should Get Out of The White House
My first act as President would be to move my offices out of the White House and convert the Oval Office to purely ceremonial use.
Why? It’s the best way to immediately get to work creating the long-term federal policies and investments that will build our economy for the next 100 years. You can’t do that when you’re isolated from where the work takes place.
Rather than completely isolating in the White House away from all other elected officials that are instrumental in accomplishing anything at the federal government level, I would work every day from offices located in the middle of senators and representatives on policies and actions necessary to ensure long-term growth of the U.S. economy.
People always say the country should be run more like a business. Running a successful business means being nimble and solving problems in hours instead of days. To do that, you must be where the action is, not locked up in a wood-paneled C-Suite.
Our country needs strong, new long-term policies and investment for energy production, power distribution, transportation infrastructure (airports, ocean ports and roadways), industrial goods manufacturing, technology research and development, and early childhood development and education. That’s going to take a lot of work from someone willing to spend time on the legislative factory floor.

1yYour post is 100% accurate! If a business were run in the same manner politicians are running our great country, the doors would have been shut a long time ago. There is zero accountability, a massive lack of action from all critical government run agencies, and no plan communicated to the public on how to recover. Politicians have failed at every aspect of their jobs and people know it, regardless of political party. We've lacked true leadership for a long time and your statement about getting out of the office and into where the action is the first step for results. Sadly, how do we prosper with an economically illiterate, anti-business, anti-energy president constantly pushing the blame? Add in a treasury secretary who repeatedly insisted inflation was transitory, a fed chairman who waited too long to increase rates to unwind the unprecedented balance sheet, and a VP that still has not visited the boarders. Wouters 2024!
