Trump admitted that he only does his job as president during the day. In the morning and at night, he spends his time in bed tweeting.
Reuters reported:
If I don’t have that form of communication I can’t defend myself,” Trump said in an interview broadcast on Sunday. “I get a lot of fake news, a lot of news that is very false or made up.”
It was a crazy situation, he said, that many people in the world waited for his tweets. He usually tweets himself, sometimes from bed.
When asked about whether he was lying in bed with his phone thinking of how to wind people up, Trump said: “Well, perhaps sometimes in bed, perhaps sometimes at breakfast or lunch or whatever, but generally speaking during the early morning, or during the evening I can do whatever, but I am very busy during the day, very long hours. I am busy.”

According to Trump’s leaked private schedule, his very long hours run from 11 AM to 6 PM with hours of “executive time” built into the day, so Trump hours spent actually working vary from 4-6 hours per day Monday-Thursday. Trump likes to take off early on Thursdays do that he can go to one of his properties for the weekend.
Instead of doing his job as president, Trump is in bed and tweeting while watching TV.
Trump is so proud of his Twitter followers, but somebody needs to tell him that half of his followers are fake.
Donald Trump is the laziest president in history, and what makes the situation worse is that he seems proud that he is screwing the American people out of having a real president.
