White House aides must regularly tell President Trump not to call foreign leaders at odd hours due to time zone differences, according to a new Politico report about Trump's multiple "diplomatic faux-pas."

Sources close to Trump told Politico the president often proposes phone calls with world leaders, including Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, at times when they would likely be asleep.

"When he wants to call someone, he wants to call someone," one source told Politico. "He’s more impulsive that way. He doesn’t think about what time it is or who it is."

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Politico that "foreign leaders appreciate that the president is willing to take their calls day and night."

1. A real f***ing moron

I believe that Tillerson actually said that (and meant that)

[Docreed2003]

2. Agreed he's a freaking moron...performing on a world stage

All to our detriment!

[ZZenith]

3. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a shoe-in

For the Liars Hall of Fame.

Seemingly no truth she cannot contort.

Amazing.

Her boss, of course, will have a forty-foot marble statue in the foyer.

4. OK, this definitely indicates he is a moron

But am I the only one that is surprised he is thinking about Presidenting at all?

I just figured that all of his phone calls were to friends and porn stars.

5. he calls them when he can fit them into his 8 hour a day TV watching habit nt

6. I guess no one in the WH was smart enough to install onne of these

9. they might have to hang these clocks on his bedroom wall.lol

13. There likely is one or something to determine the time.

But DT probably can't tell timee.

[struggle4progress]

17. "If we keep letting all these foreigners into our country, nobody will know what time it is!"

[Doodley]

7. Trump: What do you mean by time zones? This is fake news!

[SummerSnow]

10. Time zones are from the Deep State. rofl

[Retrograde]

8. I think of this as an East Coast thing

I finally got my relatives trained not to call me at 5AM ("Why aren't you awake yet? the sun's been up for hours!&quot .

But someone who's done business internationally - or claims to have had - should be a tad more clued in.

16. I had a job with a global company years ago

And we had to coordinate meetings across 15 time zones, so once a month somebody was up at 11pm for a meeting (we were good at timings). Now I work in a job where the home office is in Utah, and we have offices on the west coast and here in the central time zone and people in Utah still don't get why people in Texas don't accept meetings at 5pm their time...so I don't think it's unusual. I often get asked by them whether Texas is an hour ahead or behind Utah...

11. I think it has more to do with his selfish, narcissistic

personality than not realizing the time difference. He knows there is a time difference but he DOESN'T REALLY CARE! He is used to doing exactly what he wants and when he wants. It is always about HIM!

[steve2470]

12. I agree

The rest of us might make a mistake and say OOPS and try to educate ourselves or install a clock etc. Him ? Bah, clocks are for others.

14. Malignant narcissism strikes again...

Everyone should talk to the Pig whenever he squeals..

15. Trump is an idiot

18. What time zone is Nipple in? n/t
