A day in the life of Donald Trump

Salon - President Donald Trump is doing a lot less work now that he's in office. Copies of Trump's private schedule reveal that he often starts his days with three hours of "Executive Time" from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. That includes watching TV, tweeting and making phone calls, according to Axios. The private schedules also revealed that Trump usually goes to his first official meeting of the day at 11 a.m., much later than either President George W. Bush, who started his day at 6:45 — or President Barack Obama, who would start between 9 and 10, after exercising.

A sample Trump day goes like this:
On Tuesday, Trump has his first meeting of the day with Chief of Staff John Kelly at 11 a.m. 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 3:45 p.m. meeting with the head of Presidential Personnel Johnny DeStefano — before ending his official day at 4:15 p.m.
Trump's days had been much longer near the start of his presidency, but the president began insisting that it start later in the day when he grew dissatisfied with it.

He's working slightly longer hours than the Taliban government, but then they seemed to do more with the four-to-five hours a day they were open.

We elected a boob.
