TRUMP'S 'REAL' WORK SCHEDULE IS REALLY CODE FOR LIE-INS, RELAXING AND TV TIME

Source: Newsweek


BY HARRIET SINCLAIR ON 1/8/18 AT 3:34 AM

Donald Trump is reportedly spending even more time watching TV and tweeting, with several hours of his morning carved out for both activities, his schedule reveals.

The president’s so-called “executive time” is meant for relaxing, according to Axios, which claims to have a copy of Trump’s “real” schedule that differs to the one shared with the press and general public.

An example from the schedule shared by Axios reads: “On Tuesday, Trump has his first meeting of the day with Chief of Staff John Kelly at 11am. He then has "Executive Time" for an hour followed by an hour lunch in the private dining room. Then it's another 1 hour 15 minutes of "Executive Time" followed by a 45 minute meeting with National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster. Then another 15 minutes of "Executive Time" before Trump takes his last meeting of the day—at 3:45pm.”

According to the schedule, between 8am-11am, Trump is taking executive time in the Oval Office, which is spent in the residence and includes time watching the TV and using social media.

To sell national secrets to Russia.

OR

Destroy American Democracy

He does have the GOP house and senate helping him. Right?

Vlad has to be paid. And if that helps rich get richer it is just a fringe benefit.

President Obama began the day early, worked all day, ate dinner with his family, and then went back to work for a few more hours reading policy and briefing books. That is what being the President of The United States requires.

Trump is not capable of performing the duties of the president. Mika just said it on Morning Joe, "This is not sustainable."

He doesn't even need to understand what he's signing, just sign it and that's it. Easy enough job.

It can get exhausting watching cable news all night, tweeting early in the a.m. & taking golf vacations every weekend.

I have a different take on this-- what if with the evidence of Wolff's book the GOP has cornered Trump and said, "Buddy, it's the 25th Amendment and you lose everything, or you sit in your room and do what we tell you." They probably have Big One and Big Two guards watching him.

I'm serious. I think that Camp David smirk on McConnell's face was, a cat that has the canary in his mouth smirk.


But it won't last. Or maybe it will. Maybe they've already told him he's a one term president and if he wants to keep his money and his property and not go to jail he'll do what they tell him.

I think we're seeing the GOP in a desperate dive to save the party. The country be damned.
