Donald Trump’s lackeys are trying to prove that he’s a hard-working president after the New York Times reported on the president’s activities amid the coronavirus pandemic. “President Trump arrives in the Oval Office these days as late as noon,” the article states, “when he is usually in a sour mood after his morning marathon of television. He has been up in the White House master bedroom as early as 5 a.m. watching Fox News, then CNN, with a dollop of MSNBC thrown in for rage viewing.”
Well, that’s not hard to believe at all since Trump typically kicks off his mornings by rage-tweeting at the media. Trump’s new chief of staff, Mark Meadows, inadvertently confirmed the report. Meadows told the New York Post that Trump recently called him at 3:19 a.m. That timeline jives with the Times‘ piece that says Trump stays up until 5 a.m. Meadows said he wasn’t expecting the call and was asleep at the time when Trump called. That’s a self-own if ever I saw one.
Meadows told the Post of his biggest concern amid the national crisis.
“I can tell you that the biggest concern I have as a new chief of staff is making sure he gets some time to get a quick bite to eat,” Meadows told the right-wing news outlet.

“I can tell you that he will go back in and have a lunch just off the Oval Office and more times than not it is interrupted by several phone calls,” Meadows said. “If he gets more than 10 minutes of time in a given day, I haven’t seen in the five weeks I’ve been here.”
A different White House official alleged that Trump doesn’t eat lunch sometimes.
“There are times when lunch isn’t even a thought,” the official told the outlet. “A lot of time there’s either no time for lunch or there is 10 minutes for lunch.”
Wow, imagine former President Barack Obama complaining about not having enough time to stuff his face with hamberders during a time when over fifty-five thousand Americans have died from a spreading disease. And, interestingly, Trump spent hours on Twitter yelling at the media yesterday, but his chief of staff claims the president doesn’t have time for lunch. This morning, Trump is back on Twitter screaming at the world — but no time for lunch because he’s a hard-working man, right?
Meadows, by the way, has been reportedly so overwhelmed by his job that he’s cried at least twice. Following Trump’s lead of assigning nicknames, we shall call him Cryin’ Mark Meadows from now on
