President Donald Trump speaks in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, January 23, 2019.
Trump’s first scheduled meeting of the day typically occurs at 11 or 11:30 a.m. and is often an intelligence briefing or meeting with his chief of staff, Axios reported. The news site said the 51 private schedules it obtained show that since Nov. 7, one day after the midterm elections, Trump spent about 297 hours in executive time and about 77 hours in meetings for things like policy planning, legislative strategy and video recordings.
Responding to the report, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders emailed Axios to say Trump “has a different leadership style than his predecessors and the results speak for themselves.”
“While he spends much of his average day in scheduled meetings, events, and calls, there is time to allow for a more creative environment that has helped make him the most productive President in modern history,” she said. “President Trump has ignited a booming economy with lower taxes and higher wages, established the USA as the #1 producer of oil and gas in the world, remade our judiciary, rebuilt our military, and renegotiated better trade deals. It’s indisputable that our country has never been stronger than it is today under the leadership of President Trump.”
Many of Trump’s most prolific tweetstorms have taken place during the block set aside as executive time. He often promotes information from shows such as “Fox and Friends” during that stretch.
