Somebody on the staff of Putin’s Pervert have enraged and embarrassed him by leaking his secret schedule.  While most Presidents have worked overtime on the nation’s business, this Resident spends 60% of his day in "executive time".  That begs the following question.  What, pray tell, is executive time?  I have two suggestions, illustrated by the two graphics displayed  below.<\/font><\/p>\n

Over the weekend, we got a closer look at President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cexecutive time<\/a>\u201d thanks to a leak of his schedule from the White House.<\/p>\n

Alexi McCammond and Jonathan Swan from Axios<\/a> published three months of the president\u2019s private schedule on Sunday after someone from within Trump\u2019s orbit leaked the information to McCammond. The information shows that Trump has spent 297 hours \u2014 or 60 percent of his scheduled time \u2014 since around the midterms in so-called \u201cexecutive time,\u201d hours of the day when there\u2019s nothing specific for him to do.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s not doing anything \u2014 a White House official told Axios that Trump is always calling and talking to people and \u201calways up to something; it\u2019s just not what you would consider typical structure.\u201d The schedules published don\u2019t list all of Trump\u2019s meetings and activities.<\/p>\n

The schedule is a big deal not just because of what it reveals of Trump\u2019s activities but also, and perhaps even more importantly, because the leak even happened in the first place. It is a notable act of subversion for someone that close to the president\u2019s orbit to send to a reporter three months of what is supposed to be private information.<\/p>\n

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman noted as much on Twitter. \u201cA White House aide is weaponizing his schedules, which says a lot about how people in the White House feel about the man they work for,\u201d she wrote…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
