A window inside Trump's morning 'executive time'
Clinton News Network ^ | Updated 8:28 PM ET, Tue January 16, 2018 | Kaitlan Collins, CNN

Washington (CNN) - President Donald Trump rises around 5:30 a.m. and begins making his first calls to aides and lawmakers as early as 6. He's dressed in his signature dark suit by 8 a.m. at the latest, White House sources told CNN, and although he doesn't drink coffee, his proclivity for Diet Coke is widely known.

Dr. Ronny Jackson, the White House physician who conducted the President's first official physical evaluation last week, offered the nation new insights into Trump's health and daily routine Tuesday. Among them: His days begin early, after only about four or five hours of sleep, and Jackson advised the 71-year-old, 239-pound Trump to lose 10 to 15 pounds in the coming year and develop a regular fitness routine.

For now, the President's routine seems focused mostly on upending Washington. Current and former White House staffers, advisers and allies describe a restless President who sees his private residence as his real Oval Office and makes many key decisions each day before his official schedule gets underway.

"As we have said before he often has calls to foreign leaders, Cabinet officials, lawmakers and senior staff during this time," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told CNN.

Unlike Obummer, who often didn’t show himself until 11:00am or so.

They never questioned Obama working schedule that allowed golf and filling out NCAA brackets.

There is no question that regardless of where he was, Otoken was the dumbest person in the room. Probably had to use a teleprompter to put the kids to bed...

This exact regimen was detailed in “The Art of the Deal”

He’s up and at ‘em, bright-eyed and bushy tailed before his competition has even opened their eyes. First one in, last one out.

It’s a great book and I have to, once again, encourage everyone to read it. It’s still exactly specific to him today.

And in that first couple hours, it only takes him about 20 seconds of it to make millions of tiny pointy heads simultaneously explode.

“Yep - I got one of his autographed editions of the book.”

Great ! So when I say “Read this book and you’ll understand our president” do you agree ?

This book was the first book I ever really bought. I was 12ish and I read it from cover to cover a few times. And what really impressed me is that after all those years, he hasn’t changed.

It’s very telling. He’s not a nice guy, he’s not a fun guy. He’s an relenting bear.

Yes - it helps explain a lot about President Trump and why he perseveres against seemingly overwhelming odds.

I spent premium dollars for mine and it was worth every penny. Too bad I didn't glom onto it when I was younger - retirement might be even more comfortable than it is.....

” retirement might be even more comfortable than it is.....”

Well, I worked in NYC for a bit and his philosophies changed -everyone- in the city. Work had to happen an hour earlier and go to an hour later. Without any extra hourly pay.

It became a tougher environment after that book. It affected everyone and made a lot of people much meaner than they should be.

This is because many people think of this behavior as mean and simply “bitchy”. The truth is that at some point he released the nice guy image because his decisions affect a ton of people.
