How is the everyday life in the Donald Trump household?
It is all Donald all the time.
These days, everyday life is 100% campaign plotting and scheming, “What can we get away with?”
Report after report after report from former White House staffers all say the same thing: unless there is some kind of crisis. Left to himself, Trump spends around four hours per day in the Oval Office - usually chatting on the phone with friends. (Trump's present disastrous polling is a five alarm crisis 24/7).
Melania and Barron live with her parents. Trump just rolls them out for photo ops. If you want to see two unhappy people, just look at Melania and Barron whenever they are near Trump.
“Everyday life in the Donald Trump household.” you ask?
Trump wakes up around 5 a.m, then he unburdens his mind by visiting “the bunker”, and then starts watching TV and tweeting.
Unfortunately for Trump, Fox and Friends, regularly features medical contributors, entertainment news, and interviews with newsmakers who are not Trump. Bo-ring! The alternative to Fox and Friends is Morning Joe 0600 - 0900 on MSNBC.
Morning Joe, however, is all politics. Very often criticism of Trump. Trump loves all things Trumpish.
Trump claims that he does not like Morning Joe and doesn't watch but that's a lie. Mika and Joe often keep their cellphones on their desk and watch for Trump tweets. Although Trump often bad mouths Morning Joe and says it is not worth watching, Trump often tweets about MJ in real time.
This often triggers Scarborough to look into the camera and give Trump hilarious extemporaneous scoldings.
Trump probably does his hair and make up routine after the morning news. Supposedly it takes Trump an hour or more. Here we start to recognize Trump's accelerating mental deterioration. Sometimes, especially lately, Trump gets his bronzer wrong and he looks crimson tomato-faced.
Trump doesn't like breakfast at the White House and often skips it. When he does eat breakfast, he eats bacon cooked into joylessness (like his vacuous soul) and eggs cooked hard and rubbery (like his brain). The President of the United States of America eats McDonald’s McMuffins too. Real class.
This is what the president eats
Trump rolls “into work” (a euphemism) around 9 or 10 a.m.
It's not that Trump has bad work habits; Trump doesn't have any work habits.
Pre-presidency*, his niece Mary was granted complete access to Trump's workday so she could write a book “The Art of the Comeback”, including listening to Trump's telephone calls. She was appalled at the meaningless of Trump's chatty telephone conversations. After a month, she realized that she could not write the book because Trump never did any work while in his office (except for occasionally perusing books of fabric swatches for hours when he decided to redecorate a room).
Trump's almost complete idleness most of his time as so-called president* is dumb-founding. He has a predilection to waste his time talking to anybody about anything. By 2018, most other world leaders realized that talking to Trump on the telephone was a waste of time.
He never prepares for anything except sometimes changing words on a printed speech.
Trump has no initiative whatsoever. He has to be guided thru his day by the nose. If Trump does in fact ever have anything on his mind in the morning, it is always something Sean Hannity - America's shadow Sec'y of State - suggested the night before.
Especially since Covid hit, Trump appears to have almost nothing to do. Sometimes he makes chatty telephone calls. Last Spring, Trump was known for getting bored and wandering into staff meetings for something to do.
12 noon: LUNCH!!! And TV time. But Trump does not eat much during the day. Even so, he watches TV- alone - for around an hour mid-day.
Trump's staff schedules necessary meetings with Trump in the afternoon. But it's like making a fidgety child sit still. Trump famously HATES being taught anything. He is capable of only the lightest instruction and always requiring lots of visuals.
After Trump's hit show “The Coronavirus Task Force Daily Briefing” also known as “Donny and His Doctors” was cancelled, for the following month of May, Trump literally had nothing to do.
Until George Floyd was murdered and Black Lives Matter took off.
Now the racist Trump had something he could sink his teeth into (just like a Big Mac): black people acting up - right on schedule for a campaign kick off too.
The disastrous attack on peaceful protesters and asinine photo op in front of St. John's church was, reportedly, all Trump's idea. Then the Tulsa rally flopped.
By mid-June, the presidency of the USA was 100% committed to one goal: getting Trump re-elected.
Trump neglects every presidential duty, every Constitution limit, and every law now to get re-elected and avoid going to jail.
Sometimes Trump snacks on McD fries at the p.m. meetings.
But then … 5 p.m. IT'S CHOW TIME!!
This Is Everything Donald Trump Eats in a Day
Trump's isolation in the White House allows him to scratch his junk food itch (not cool at Mar a Lago) during Trump's favorite meal: dinner!
Trump drinks out of the bottle. Queens’ class!
“All this just for me!”
Domino's Sogaroni kiddie pizza! Queens’ class!
KFC eaten by the bucketful with knife and fork makes it haute cuisine! Classy!
You can take the Goombah outta Queens but you can't take Queens outta the Goombah.
Then …. TV time! FOX News!! Leading up to Trump's best friend, confidant, spiritual guru, and de facto Secretary of State of the United States Sean Hannity!!
Trump's day ends with a long chatty call with Sean Hannity. They actually, meaningfully discuss the next day’s presidential publicity stunt and official policy of the USA. |
