  I vaguely remember what his schedule was the last several weeks of his term because it was the same thing every damn day. Something like "The President will make many calls and have many meetings." I wonder if this is around the time he found out, and dictated that it needs to say that every single day.
context: Luckily his staff did know, and listed most of his days as "executive time" instead of the more accurate "fucking off." >
  
  "The President did a business today." >
  
  "This all looks like... good business!" >
  
  And that's when this moronic daily schedule started being posted;
  
  President Trump will work from early in the morning until late in the evening. He will make many calls and have many meetings. >
  
  Many calls with many, many people. Important people. The biggest people. Also meetings. More people. Very good people. The best people, many people are saying. Very human from the standpoint of people. >
  
  They are great calls, some say the best calls... beautiful calls.  Just the other day someone walked up to Trump and said "Sir..."  they call him sir, "You make the best most beautiful calls." >
  
  "I will be the most transparent President EVER!"
  hides White House visitor logs
  hides Presidential phone call transcripts
  refuses to have aides and note takers in meetings with hostile foreign leaders >
  
  You forgot "took classified documents without telling anyone". >
  
  I feel like that's separate from the transparency argument since it would be stealing whether he took them secretly or not. >
  
  True, but it's the fact that he took them, didn't tell anybody, and denied they existed until found and then denied any knowledge of it after the fact thats like... He's as transparent as mud. >
  
  He didn’t deny that he took them really. He just claims that he had the authority to do so. >
  
  I think you accidentally a word. >
  
  I always do that. One of my many flaws >
  
  Now I'm suspicious of those two. What am I missing? >
  
  Russia believed Donald Trump was the long desired “useful idiot” president who would deliver things Russia really wanted. Russia later realized that Donald Trump was such a total blazing idiot that he was incapable of delivering on most things. 
  In a sense, we got a bit lucky on this. >
  
  I also think it's a narrow valley of a Venn diagram, for someone to be a) dumb enough to work for Putin and b) wounded narcissist enough to appeal to Trump's base but c) still smart enough to be effective. >
  
  "...even though it was widely known that Mr Trump spent the majority of his days in the White House residence or his private dining room while watching television." >
  
  A journalist back then spent a few months watching Fox News and following his twitter stream, and matched up the tweets to what Fox had just been mentioning, and calculated the amount of time he spent at it.   Interesting, but everybody kind of knew that was what was going on already. >
  
  What was even more wild is that trump frequently recorded Fox News and watched it hours later , and trump would tweet based on what he saw on recorded news (where sometimes the news would be wrong/outdated). >
  
  The worst is when the taxpayers paid for his trip to France for the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI and trump skipped events because of the horrible rain, many people are saying it was the most TREMENDOUS rain of all time and live tweeted Fox News instead. >
  
  I thought he said it was too windy for his helicopter at the time. It might have been too windy for his stupid hairdo but he could have just taken a limo like everybody else. He just wanted to stay where he was and decide which paintings to steal. >
  
  We have know this for years.
  We literally knew Trump didn't know how the Presidency worked before he was elected.  This isn't some sort of newsworthy revelation.
  If we like...Actually did something about it all, that might be newsworthy. >
  
  I loved Howard Stern's take. Allow me to paraphrase: I (Stern) don't hate trump I hate you for voting for him.
  Anyone even remotely tuned into pop culture of the rich and famous (looking at you evangelicals), would have known what they were voting for.
  So yeah, those votes were burn the village to save the village thinking. >
  
  I agree with Stern's take, except that I also do hate Trump.  He is a despicable human being with not a single redeeming quality. >
  
  I suspect when he is dead, his body could keep an oil lamp burning for a long time. >
  
  A true Hanukkah miracle. >
  
  As a private billionaire (well, he was private), trump's schedule no doubt remained close to the vest.  As a spotlight on his intellect, he thought the schedule of the US president would fall into the same category.  The fact that he may have realized his schedule was not private as president astounds me.  I thought the man incapable of learning anything new. >
  
  Think of how many times from 2008-2016 he heard Fox News say "Today on Obama's schedule......" and angry tweeted about what he heard, disregarding the fact that he had easy access to that info when he ran for the office himself. >
  
  Since I don't watch Fox news (and a big pat on the back to me for that :-)), I'm not in a position to verify which conspiracy theories they are following.  Didn't even know Fox news was still a thing.  Sorry. >
  
  trump only realized you don’t need an id to shop for groceries and windmills don’t go “werrrWERRwerrrr” just yesterday….
  …wait, sorry 
  he still thinks that >
  
  No one should be allowed to run for or hold the office of president if they are an idiot like orange temper tantrum man. >
  
  The only reason I find this surprising is because I'd think that after a few months he'd be asking how the fuck people knew who he was meeting with must be a leaker. >
  
  A truly stupid man.
  No wonder Putin loved him. >
  
  Another reminder of how relatively lucky we were that the guy’s a total dunce. >
  
  What a dumbass >
  
  I dunno, this one kind of hurts for some reason. Like- insult to injury. Even after the Nuclear Insult Armageddon that was his illegitimate fascist reign.  Like going out of their way to crush kindness for no reason. >
  
  
  Mr Deere added that Mr Trump instead directed the White House press office to begin releasing a statement claiming he would “work from early in the morning until late in the evening” and would “make many calls and have many meetings” 
  
  So "bug fixes and performance improvements"? >
  
  oh my god... [facepalm] >
  
  The thought of him spending hours of mental cycles trying to figure out who was leaking his schedule is a bit amusing. >
  
  Many meetings. Huge meetings. Important powerful meetings. Strong meetings. Such meetings that no president before ever... met. With such huge powerful strong leadership. Busy meetings.. very busy, so busy -- no time for golf. Meetings at such wonderful locations. Important locations... so important. Like at T. Golf courses in NJ, FL and Scotland Europe. Amazing golf. So amazing. And strong. Winning meetings with strong leaders and generals -- very big, hugely powerful and strong generals. And their hands: big powerful hands like nobody has ever seen, strongly hugely negotiating powerful winning meetings.
