President Trump says he’s ‘very active.’ His schedule doesn’t.
Washington Post ^ | May 12, 2017 | Philip Bump

President Trump woke up angry on Friday.

By 9:30 a.m. Eastern, he’d already tweeted seven times, railing against the media and the investigation into possible ties between his campaign and Russian interests. In one tweet, he defended his deputy press secretary for having offered an explanation for the firing of FBI director James B. Comey that Trump himself later contradicted.

As a very active President with lots of things happening, it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with perfect accuracy!….

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 12, 2017

Trump went on to say that, since the media held his staff to the ridiculous standard of not providing false information, perhaps he would cancel press briefings entirely. That garnered a good deal of attention.

But we’d like to focus on one part of the tweet above: The part where he says he’s very active.

He isn’t. Or, at least, if he is, it’s not on his calendar.

We went back and looked at the daily schedule provided by the White House, a running and frequently-updated list of the meetings that Trump has planned on any given day. On the weekends, his schedule is generally pretty light, which isn’t unusual. What’s unusual is that, of late, Trump’s schedule has been awfully light during the week, too.

Here’s what’s been on his calendar since two months ago today, Sunday, March 12.

Not gonna let the Wa Post ruin my birthday.

They THINK they have him injured and corned and impeachment is around the block.

Maybe they’re hoping for a Ryan presidency as they hit Pence when they can too.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ryan thinks about it.

I got bad news for them all. They got nothing.

Trump ain’t going anywhere.

Another WP hit job. We know from Trump’s deputies that he is very active. The WH schedule doesn’t include his intra-governmental interactions or the numerous calls he makes to foreign leaders. This is just another gotcha attempt by the MSM. Pathetic.

This falls into the “Not Really “News”” category of Very Fake News. The VFN Bezosington Post is berift of anybody who can actually dig up any Real News.

Breaking News:

President Trump said it was 52 degrees when he awoke at 7:53 am today, but we checked with 4 impartial meteorologists & they all said that it was 51 degrees. We then checked with our other anonymous sources who confirmed that Trump actually did not get up until 7:54 am

As has been evident for many years now, the Washington Post is pathetic and irrelevant.

The only thing keeping it afloat is its owner, Jeff Bezos, CEO Amazon and the only thing compelling him to prop it up was a $600 million CIA contract for ‘Cloud Services’ that was timed at the time he bought the rag for $100 million.

Life is good when you’re connected until you’re not.

'News' that begins like this warms my heart.

It's going to be a great day.

I guess the author is of the same business school of thought that a person’s productiveness/importance//usefulness is measured by how many times and hours he spends in meetings.

We’ve all have colleagues and bosses that showed their importance by all the meetings they go to ........ (at least from my work experience)

They would have also included a gratuitous reference that the reason it is so cold is Global Warming.

How many people read that article?? Trump put up a video compilation of Democrats disgusted by Comey on facebook. In one hour it had 580K views. Overnight it grew to 1.2 million views. 580K is is better viewership than nearly all evening news shows.

Legacy media is practically irrelevant. Major Garret pontificates at the press briefing about the WH giving them information which they then give to the American people. I an American people was watching the press briefing live. I don’t need Major to relay any information to me. The media dinosaurs just don’t get it.

Amazing. In recent weeks, the MSM has talked about how Trump is moving too fast for the reporters to keep up with him. Now, he’s just not doing much.

No matter what he does or does not do the MSM will attack Trump.
