‘Shockingly lazy’: Trump’s ‘bizarre nocturnal habits’ uncovered in new analysis
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
President Donald Trump, who turned 80 last month, made only three public appearances in Washington before 11 a.m. during the entire month of June, according to a Daily Beast analysis of his official schedule and White House pool reports published Friday.The Daily Beast's review found that the president's “shockingly lazy” schedule listed "Executive Time" beginning at 8 a.m. for 26 of the 30 days in June. Public events, when they occurred, were typically scheduled for the afternoon or later. The same pattern held in the preceding months, the outlet found. Trump had "Executive Time" listed on his schedule 26 mornings in May and every day in April. He had public appearances before 11 a.m. on 11 days in May – four of them golf outings and three during a trip to China – and on six days in April.Scheduled morning events have also frequently run late or been canceled, according to the Daily Beast's review. A bill-signing set for June 10 at 10 a.m. was delayed more than an hour. A housing bill signing scheduled for noon on June 24 was called off entirely – Trump announced the cancellation in a social media post sent shortly before 11 a.m., after Republican lawmakers had already set up for the event in the Capitol's Statuary Hall.The White House did not directly address the Daily Beast's questions about the president's schedule or the meaning of "Executive Time." A spokesman sent the outlet a statement describing Trump as sharp and energetic and criticizing past media coverage of former President Joe Biden's health, without addressing Trump's own schedule.The Daily Beast also cited reporting from a recent book on the administration by New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, which described Trump as a "night owl" prone to staying up through the night on the phone or watching television. On one such occasion, the book recounted, "an aide checked on the President only to find that he was still asleep in the residence." The book also reported that Trump and first lady Melania Trump maintain separate bedrooms at the White House.
