Why you don't want to fly with Trump

Huffington Post -  CNN’s Kaitlan Collins said White House staffers don’t relish going on foreign trips with President Donald Trump because of how little he sleeps.

Trump “does not sleep,” Collins said on the latest episode of Jason Tartick’s “Trading Secrets” podcast. She cited a White House source who once told her that “you never want to be on Air Force One on a trip” with Trump because he just “doesn’t sleep on these trips.”

“You’re going to Asia or something and that’s kind of the only time you’re going to sleep before you go on this trip but Trump is just always up and talking and he’ll have them go wake staff up if they’re asleep because he wants to talk to them,” Collins explained. “And so we have this big trip to Asia coming up and you know you’re just you’re not going to sleep on that flight.”

Trump has bragged about how little sleep he gets for years.

“You know, I’m not a big sleeper, I like three hours, four hours, I toss, I turn, I beep-de-beep, I want to find out what’s going on,” Trump boasted during his 2016 presidential campaign.
