What does that mean? Wasn't his last real press conference almost a year ago?

Probably he'll be "seeing" them as he steps out of his limo to go to his next basketball workout. They'll be standing down the block, watching him go into the gym.

he doesn’t think of himself as the president, more like someone who is a puppet who is lead by someone else
