“Executive” (Wink, Wink) Time
Come to find out, Axios got to see a copy of Trump’s real schedule, not the sanitized one for the general public, and you will not be surprised to learn:
The schedule says Trump has “Executive Time” in the Oval Office every day from 8am to 11am, but the reality is he spends that time in his residence, watching TV, making phone calls and tweeting. Trump comes down for his first meeting of the day, which is often an intelligence briefing, at 11am.
I have recently had an opportunity to learn that all the good daytime teevee is on in the afternoon – American Pickers, Alton Brown, Ancient Aliens, Aerial America, and, Honey, that’s just the A’s. So, if he’s watching from 9:00 – 11:00, he’s only seeing those stinkin’ Good Morning shows. Which suck.
It’s probably as bad as you think it might be:
- On Tuesday, Trump has his first meeting of the day with Chief of Staff John Kelly at11am. 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 — a 3:45pm meeting with the head of Presidential Personnel Johnny DeStefano — before ending his official day at 4:15pm.
Hell, Honey, I’m retired and I have a busier schedule than that.
On the other hand, fixing that hair of his has got to take a whole mess of time.
