    Well...as long as another unnamed source said it, it MUST be true=) He's also racist too, without proof of course. But who needs evidence when CNN, some BLOG or anyone else the MSM will run with ANYTHING someone says. Journalistic integrity went out the window in 08, and completely blew up in 2016. Now, if you're not making **** up about Trump 24/7, you're just not doing your job as a nice Liberal propaganda arm.

    You can read the schedules yourself. Stop pretending.

    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."

    Obama was far more intelligent and better educated than poor Trump.

    "Knowing" something anecdotally and seeing documents proving it are 2 different things... as I'm sure we will find out in other arenas shortly...

    Do we have the schedules of the last three or four Presidents to compare this to? Also is this unstructured time used efficiently so that he achieves his goals for the country?

    I don't know. Maybe sitting on his brains for most of the day forces the "good ideas" to come shooting out.

    Is the second no an opinion or do you have some measurement you are using that we all can evaluate?

    I think long term, it's the first no that should be sending Trump to the boiling point... He about lost it when there was just the anonymous NYT memo about his amorality last summer.

    Now somebody is handing private Presidential schedules to the media.... Hold on to your butts....

    We all should be concerned, if some one is leaking documents from the inner workings of the White House to one source what is to stop them from doing the same for foreign entities. The left is very concerned about the wiki leak documents and Russia. Shouldn't they be concerned with leaks from the White House since that could be an opening for blackmail by foreign intelligence groups?

    Well, if truly classified documents were leaked to a foreign entity, that would be sedition and there's no excuse... I don't think anybody thinks that OLD (not future) records of the presidential schedule need be classified, nor would they be an opening for blackmail.

    But your point is not unimportant.... Leaks can be damaging to the country, and if one leaks something like this, it might not be a huge leap to worse things.

    Which this isn't.... Not sure why MrT didn't start the OP with the actual source of the story, Axios, but his call........

    You can call CNN opinion pieces Fake News all day long, but if CNN reports a actual story from another news source, your Fake News claims make you look a little ridiculous, IMHO...

    If there's no real difference in the substance, then I tend to choose the source with the headline I like the most.

    Not at all.. Read what you quoted.

    If someone knew nothing about history and was only told about dropping two Abombs on Japan how do you think that person would feel about America. ( leaving out Pearl Harbor)

    What game is that? Reporting another news source has a story, with a link in their recap to the original story? That's a game??

    No, CNN was scooped by Axios, but it's still news that the WH (presumably) is leaking old presidential schedules showing some odd trends in presidential time usage (LOL - I like my own spin), so they need to make a reference to it on their site.
