1) If you read enough, you realize how full of shit axios and @jonathanvswan are. "Between the lines: The private schedules we published below do not list all Trump's meetings over the past three months." HMMMMM. What does this imply...
2) "That's because many of his meetings are spur of the moment, according to senior White House officials with direct knowledge of his daily habits." REALLY. You mean the schedules that you were leaked might not actually be representative of how many meetings he has?
3) Like, I don't know, maybe many of these 'executive time' periods are in fact him being an executive and having impromptu meetings?
4) "It's also because a more detailed schedule — kept within a very small, tight circle — typically has 1 or 2 extra meetings per day that aren't listed on private schedules sent to staff." REALLY. So your 'analysis' is bumpkus because these aren't even the real schedules.
5) "The president sometimes has meetings during Executive Time that he doesn't want most West Wing staff to know about for fear of leaks." Considering someone leaked the president's daily schedule for THREE MONTHS, I wonder why.
6) "And his mornings sometimes include calls with heads of state, political meetings and meetings with counsel in the residence, which aren't captured on these schedules." So, those long mornings you want to raise a stink about are filled with private unscheduled phone meetings.
7) "For example, the private schedule we obtained said Trump had a "media engagement" at 4:30 p.m. this past Wednesday. The more detailed schedule revealed it was an interview with the right-wing Daily Caller." The Daily Caller is part of the media, you feckless idiot.
8) "Wednesday's more detailed schedule also listed Trump's meeting with former presidential candidate Herman Cain, whom he is considering for a Federal Reserve governorship. (The private schedule obscured that meeting with Executive Time.)" HMMMMM.
9) So what we have here is you laying out that his Executive Time is a deliberate obfuscation to protect his administration from constant fucking leaks. What was in your first set of bullet points 99% of people won't read past?
10) "Instead, he spends his mornings in the residence, watching TV, reading the papers, and responding to what he sees and reads by phoning aides, members of Congress, friends, administration officials and informal advisers."
11) @axios and @jonathanvswan are media hucksters of the worst kind, perpetuating a fraud upon the American people by leading off their story to paint it as Trump spending most of his day engaging in frivolous pursuits, when in reality...
12) Is that he is specifically using unstructured executive time to run the country and hold meetings and get shit done outside the purview of leakers in the White House, the existence of which ARE PROVEN BY THIS VERY ARTICLE'S EXISTENCE.
13) It's monday, so expect the @washingtonpost, @maggieNYT, and the other inkshitters (h/t my Twitter Sensei Montes-Bradley for the term) to run wild with this for about a day assuming that no one bothered to read past the first paragraph.
Fuck the media and fake news.
