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.”

Happy Birthday to both of us, as it is my Birthday today also! Can’t think of a better way to start it off than watching Prez Trump give his first commencement speech at Liberty University right now. As usual, he is doing great. May we both have a wonderful day today, and celebrate it with a good meal while also celebrating having Donald J. Trump as our President.

Beat me to it. Trump is a leader and an entrepreneur. He’s at his best without meetings slowing him down. This is a GOOD thing.

Trump isn’t _that_ rich.

Trump isn’t that good a businessman.

Trump isn’t really much of a deal-maker.

Trump’s marriage isn’t great.

Trump’s TV ratings weren’t _that_ great.

Trump’s products are shoddy.

Trump is a greedy, selfish liar.

Trump’s base hates him.

Trump is insanely deluded.

Trump makes no sense when he speaks.
On & on & on......

Thank you muchly. “Another day older and deeper in debt.” Remember who sang that? Tennessee Ernie Ford, “Sixteen Tons.” Great song, great singer.

He “woke up angry?”

WAPO is doing the slut walk, or how do they know?

More fake news bs, from the Compost from one of their Trump haters, posing as news.

I harvested and spread several Home Depot Homer buckets of compost for my wife's tomato plants new homes in her her horse trough planters. There is so much BS in the Compost, you would only have to compost it for a couple of minutes, before using it.

“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.”

A recent observation by Rush Limbaugh re vicious fake news/propaganda to force Trump out of office!

“As you read, or any time you see “anonymous source said,” you must disbelieve it. The evidence is much greater and much of this is made up than that it is legitimate and real. You must remember that media isn’t media. You are not reading “the news.” You are being inculcated. You’re being propagandized. You are being misinformed for the purposes of advancing a narrative and agenda, which is to force Donald Trump out of office. The news about this investigation today is wonderful.”

Being a city slicker who listened to Zep and then GnR, I’ll have to look it up. :)

“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”

Impeachment articles to be filed over these obvious abuses of power by lying to the American people.
