New Schedule Leak: “50% Executive Time” Last Week

February 11, 2019 Donald Trump, Idiocracy

Our lead item in Axios Sneak Peek last week — a leak of three months of Trump’s private schedules — enraged White House officials. The president’s secretary Madeleine Westerhout tweeted that the leak was “a disgraceful breach of trust.” Then Politico scooped (and we confirmed) that the White House has launched an internal hunt to find the leaker.

This crackdown has not stopped the leaking. Axios‘ Alexi McCammond obtained four of the president’s private schedules from last week. The schedules show the president spent 50% of the four days last week in non-structured “Executive Time.”

More leaked @WhiteHouse schedules show Trump spent 50% of his time last week in unstructured “Me Time” — mostly rage tweeting, watching FOX, and telling racist jokes. https://t.co/0IxKwASLTv

The media was able to get my work schedule, something very easy to do, but it should have been reported as a positive, not negative. When the term Executive Time is used, I am generally working, not relaxing. In fact, I probably work more hours than almost any past President…..

….The fact is, when I took over as President, our Country was a mess. Depleted Military, Endless Wars, a potential War with North Korea, V.A., High Taxes & too many Regulations, Border, Immigration & HealthCare problems, & much more. I had no choice but to work very long hours!
