The Hardest Working President: Trump Works 12-Hour Days Amid Media Speculation of 'Fatigue'

Despite a New York Times claim that he’s showing “signs of fatigue,” Oval Office logs revealed that President Trump has been clocking in 12-hour days over the last month.

The logs, provided exclusively to the NY Post, show President Trump working at least 50-hour weeks, not including any official duties he attended to on the weekends, or phone calls he might've had to take. The logs span from November 12 to November 25, the same day the NYT article was published.

While President Trump may be the oldest man to be inaugurated as president, the 79-year-old has not let his age get in the way of his promises to the American public, working longer hours than the average American. Trump's second term stands in stark contrast to the term of former President Joe Biden, who could barely make it up some stairs or through an interview, even with prior knowledge of the questions he was going to be "confronted" with. 

The NYT article, titled “Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office," infuriated the president, as the analysis was done on the publicly available schedule as opposed to the logs kept by staffers in the Oval Office. In response, the president torched the NYT White House reporter Katie Rogers as “ugly, both inside and out.” 

“According to a Times analysis of the official presidential schedules in a database maintained by Roll Call, Mr. Trump’s first official event starts later in the day. In 2017, the first year of his first term, Mr. Trump’s scheduled events started at 10:31 a.m. on average,” the article read. “By contrast, Mr. Trump in his second term has started scheduled events in the afternoon on average, at 12:08 p.m. His events end on average at around the same time as they did during the first year of his first term, shortly after 5 p.m.”

The release of the Oval Office logs comes as the Trump administration has pledged to be the most transparent in American history. On Monday, amid speculation of the president's health, Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, released a summary of Trump's most recent physical, which included an MRI scan from October.

The report said President Trump was in excellent health.
