Trump's sacrifices are hard. You think it's easy working 11 to 5?
Being president isnt easy under the best of circumstances. Imagine how hard it must be if youre Donald Trump.
I probably work more hours than almost any past president, Trump announced Sunday, adding that he had no choice but to work very long hours!
On Monday, after retweeting his own assertion from a few days earlier that he is working hard, he eliminated any doubt: No president ever worked harder than me, he declared.
---------
The president appears to be stung by a leak of three months of schedules showing he spent about 60 percent of his workday in Executive Time watching TV, tweeting, gabbing and the like. When last weeks schedule was leaked to Axios, it showed Trump had cut back Executive Time to
50 percent!
