"I'm available to fill in for that hour every day."

President Trump’s schedule is so packed amid the coronavirus crisis that he sometimes skips lunch, his aides told The Post — refuting a report that the commander-in-chief spends his days obsessing over TV coverage and eating fries.
White House staffers said the president works around the clock and can make five dozen work-related calls a day during the pandemic.
“I can tell you that the biggest concern I have as a new chief of staff is making sure he gets some time to get a quick bite to eat,” White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told The Post.
He said that Trump recently called him at 3:19 a.m. He wasn’t expecting the call and was asleep when the phone rang.
“I can tell you that he will go back in and have a lunch just off the Oval Office and more times than not it is interrupted by several phone calls,” Meadows said. “If he gets more than 10 minutes of time in a given day I haven’t seen in the five weeks I’ve been here.”
A different White House official said that Trump, some days, doesn’t eat lunch.
“There are times when lunch isn’t even a thought,” the official said. “A lot of time there’s either no time for lunch or there is 10 minutes for lunch.”
An account in The New York Times that claimed Trump lingers in his bedroom as late as noon infuriated the president, who tweeted Sunday, “I will often be in the Oval Office late into the night & read & see that I am angrily eating a hamburger & Diet Coke in my bedroom.”
“I work from early in the morning until late at night,” the president tweeted.

"I'm available to fill in for that hour every day."
Hey NYP, this is not Obama...
And with all that, he still found an hour or two a day to get abused by the press. Glad he hasn’t wasted anymore time on them since Friday.
While DJT seems invincible, this is concerning. He is human and all humans need shut down time. I pray for him and I pray for peace of mind for him. I cannot imagine the torment he feels.
The man has long been a notorious workaholic, micromanager, and insomniac. Where are they getting this crap?
I'd barrel along until 2 - 3 o'clock...realize I hadn't eaten and would decided it was too close to supper.
I never had any patience (and still don't) for execs, bureaucrats, and non-profit types who are ‘at lunch” from 11 until at least 2.
Their secretaries may as well tell callers to pee off.
It’s just lies. They have no source. They make stuff up.
I hope he has a secret back-channel to funnel in a Quarter Pounder with Cheese when he needs a working meal :)
Thanks for the post.
May God Protect him.
Best President EVER in my Life time!!
God Bless Him!
Bttt
I don’t know. I thought it was reported on good authority that he spent most of his time watching the Gorilla Channel.
Prayer ping. May the President rest in God’s love even while on duty.
Get the man a farking big mac!
Thank God for Midrats
...Gorilla Channel.
