Pat Boone, the 92-year-old singer and longtime Trump supporter, released a video urging the president to be quiet, calling him tired and under pressure. Boone said he'd warned Trump before his first term to sound presidential rather than like a schoolboy, and that the advice went unheeded then and apparently still needs repeating now.

Boone recommended Trump listen more, talk less, and let actions speak for themselves, invoking Ronald Reagan's humor and courtesy as a model. He even suggested a press conference with no reporters, so the 'deafening roar of silence' might sink in.

The video, framed as friendly concern rather than criticism, also urged Trump to be polite to women. Boone closed by asking the president to try being quiet 'for just a little while,' suggesting the silence itself would speak louder than anything he could say.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

When a 92-year-old fan tells the president to zip it, that's not politics, that's just an old friend noticing the volume knob's been stuck on high for a decade. Boone didn't call for policy change, he called for less talking, which tells you what he thinks the actual problem is. It's a low bar and still nobody expects it cleared.
