"I’m out of rabbits and hats to pull them out of." The words hang in the air between us, heavy with the weight of truth. My chief of staff doesn't respond immediately, just stares at the briefing papers spread across the Resolute Desk. The morning sunlight streams through the windows, catching the dust motes dancing in the air. Outside, I can hear the faint sound of protesters chanting, their voices muffled but unmistakable even through these thick walls. The coffee in my cup has gone cold, just like the reception I'll get at tomorrow's press conference.
