Donald Trump Just Explained What He Does During All That 'Executive Time' on His Schedule, and Yeah, People Aren't Buying It

Last weekend, Axios had a blockbuster exposé of Donald Trump's leaked schedules from Nov. 7, 2018 to Feb. 1, 2019, which revealed that most of Donald Trump's time was spent in "Executive Time" which Axios described as:

Trump, an early riser, usually spends the first 5 hours of the day in Executive Time. Each day's schedule places Trump in "Location: Oval Office" from 8 to 11 a.m.


But Trump, who often wakes before 6 a.m., is never in the Oval during those hours, according to 6 sources with direct knowledge.

Instead, he spends his mornings in the residence, watching TV, reading the papers, and responding to what he sees and reads by phoning aides, members of Congress, friends, administration officials and informal advisors.

Now Axios has obtained more of Trump's schedules, specifically 4 days' worth from last week, during which Trump spent 50% of his time during "Executive Time."

And this time Trump isn't taking it lying down, tweeting that by "executive time" that means he is "generally working, not relaxing" and of course, that he "probably work[s] more hours than almost any past president.'

Because, with all the issues he inherited, he "had no choice but to work very long hours."

Mmhmm.

People were...skeptical.

J.D. Vance Faces Backlash After Saying He Hopes His Wife Usha Will Be 'Moved' To Convert To Christianity

Vice President JD Vance was criticized after he said during a Turning Point USA event that he hopes his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, who is the daughter of Telugu-speaking Indian Hindu immigrants who hail from Andhra Pradesh, will convert to Christianity someday and "see things the same way" that he does.

A woman in the audience had the opportunity to ask Vance how he squares having a Hindu wife and mixed-race children with his anti-immigration rhetoric, a nod to the Trump administration's ongoing immigration crackdown that is tearing families across the country apart.

Even Trump's NASA Director Had To Set Kim Kardashian Straight After She Said The Moon Landing 'Didn't Happen'

Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax—and Kardashian certainly made it clear where she stands in a video speaking to co-star Sarah Paulson on the set of the new Hulu drama All’s Fair.

For the average person, there isn't generally a lot of excess money to spend frivolously when they're a child, so when they hit their twenties and have their first "real" or "more important" job, they might find themselves in a position to enjoy some of the finer things in life.
