    You can actually read those leaked schedules here.

    Jesus christ tho, I knew the guy was unstructured, but 60% of his time?! Maybe Trump also stopped working during the Trump shutdown?

    Trump might very well be the laziest president in modern US history.

    Now, who wants to be the first to say the lie, "and he still did/accomplished more than Obama?"

    - Donald Trump

    Not starting work until 11 am, then only working 3 hours? Serving fast food to the National champions? Paying for sex in random hookups with porn stars while his wife is pregnant? Doesn't even know how to spell simple words in his tweets?

    Donald Trump is the living embodiment of what several conservatives thought a black president would be.

    This just shows you are ****ing stupid liberals are. They are literally complaining about lack of work ethic of a President they despise. Think about that for a second. How ****ing stupid do you have to be to miss the obvious?

    The less work politicians do the better.

    Trump moves far faster than most lefties, imo.

    His achievements back that.

    But in any case, his unstructured executive time will only assure his defeat of democrats.

    I don't think the actual content of the leaked schedules surprises anybody... he's ill equipped to deal with the rigors of this job....
    Color me shocked....

    The second best part of this story was the Hucka-Sans spin - "President Trump has a different leadership style than his predecessors and the results speak for themselves." - Funny! That's actually a true statement on both regards, but I don't think she realizes how most will take that.... It's like the old joke when you tell your wife "I've never had a dinner like that!"

    The best part of this story is yet to come.... Who has access to this information and would dislike the president enough to leak ACTUAL DOCUMENTS to the media?? Leaking rumors and talk is one thing. This will be considered very hurtful to Trump and I expect we'll get some tweets on this soon enough....

    I expect a (nother) witch hunt coming in the WH very soon.... Remember all the talk about lie detector tests for staff when the Anonymous Memo came out last summer??

    Trump has enjoyed 300 hours of 'executive time' since midterms

    According to the website Axios, since 7 November, the day after the midterm elections, the president has spent almost 300 hours in relatively unstructured “executive time” and only 77 hours in scheduled meetings covering policy planning, legislative strategy and video recordings.

    According to Axios, the “unusually voluminous leak” from an unnamed White House source gives unprecedented visibility into how Trump spends his days.

    The schedules show Trump spends around 60% of each day in “executive time”, a concept introduced by former chief of staff John Kelly because the president detests being locked into a regular schedule.

    Executive time, the publication asserted then, “almost always means TV and Twitter time alone in the residence”.

    _________________________________________

    Yet another MSM lie.

    Trump doesn't just watch TV, he also plays golf and often relaxes at Mar-A-Lago.....

    Trump is a national disgrace.

    It's true. We have known for a year that most days he takes 6 hours of executive time.

    I believe (and have for a long time) that Trump dramatically underestimated the role of POTUS. He has never been an 'employee' and didn't realize that that's what POTUS is...an employee of the people. He doesn't like accounting for himself or his time to anyone - and he certainly doesn't believe that he needs to work the hours that every other president has. I suppose he believes that turning down the salary offered might give him some leeway, but it won't. The American people deserve better than a man who treats his position as a part time job.

    He should spend that time practicing his talking points so he doesn't sound so confused when he speaks.

    If it was "known" for a year then why a "leak" and the need for threads on the matter?

    From the OP's article:

    "He's always calling people, talking to people," a senior White House official told Axios. "He's always up to something; it's just not what you would consider typical structure."

    White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said: "President Trump has a different leadership style than his predecessors and the results speak for themselves."


    How dare he spend so much time in meetings and making phone calls, lol! Or for that matter, how dare he spend so much time keeping up with the news! (I like how the leftie author tries to spin it as "watching TV", as if he's watching soap operas or Maury Povich.)

    C'mon lefties, even by your standards, this is lame.

    And honestly, even if he only worked 5 minutes per day, you can't argue with what he's accomplished. Would the hateful lefties here like to see him spending even more time accomplishing things to #MAGA?

    Get with the proper talking point RP. It is, "Trump does more working 40% of the time than Obama did working 100% of the time."

    Madeleine Westerhout - the director of the Oval Office operations tweeted, "What a disgraceful breach of trust to leak schedules. What these don't show are the hundreds of calls and meetings @realDonaldTrump takes everyday."

    I explicitly argued and crushed multiple points on your list of "trump accomplishments" from a couple of weeks ago and you ran away.

    So it would seem that you are the only person who can't argue.

    Here's the obvious point that YOU are missing.

    If Trump spent more time reading intelligence reports instead of going to twitter to call his intelligence officials naive, or he spent more time learning about international policy instead of threatening to withdraw from long standing treaties that objectively benefit our country, or he spent more time SPELLCHECKING his twitter rants because he wanted to rage at a journalist who dared to criticize him and instead he raged at a random highschool girl from California, then liberals would complain less.
