Naturally, the only public engagement and exposure the nation has of President Donald Trump is through news conferences.

A White House official expressed concern over how Trump was working himself to the bone, and how they were frustrated by the "inaccurate coverage, which does not reflect the hard work and leadership we witness every day."


From Morning to Night

Various accounts from the White House have disclosed that Trump is frequently busy receiving calls from national departments and corporations and that this consumes much of the hours of the day and rarely has time to eat a proper meal.

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said in an interview, "He will go back in and have lunch just off the Oval Office. More times than not, it is interrupted by several phone calls."

Meadows admitted that he hasn't seen the President get more than ten minutes for himself in the five weeks he's stayed there. He added, "He'll call up until late evening or midnight on a fairly regular basis."

In weeks prior, another White House staff member provided data to the New York Post regarding phone calls that the President receives. It showed the President could receive up to sixty phone calls per day.

While Trump only answers a select few in a day, he would have to deal with the rest the following day, which meant his schedule is often full.

Last Friday, he talked over the phone with other national leaders, some of whom require a translator.

Other staff at the White House have attested to Trump's lack of appetite since the pandemic started. One of the officials said that most days, the President even skips lunch altogether.

Inaccurate Coverage

Trump has taken to social media, particularly Twitter, to express his aggravation at various media companies spreading fake news.

In a series of posts, he clarified that he worked from early morning to late at night without leaving the White House in months while he handled Trade Deals, Military Rebuilding, and other measures during the pandemic.

Trump continued, tagging in his post the official account of the New York Times.

The newspaper published material that alleged the U.S. president was spending hours watching TV coverage of himself in an obsession of finding out how he was portrayed in the media.

There were details about how Trump was in a "sour mood" being isolated alone in the White House while probably gorging down French fries and diet coke.

Trump added that he would often stay in the Oval Office late at night, confirming that he did, have a diet coke while working.

"People with me are always stunned," he said. "Anything to demean!"

In the same feature article, the New York Times wrote that Trump is struggling to reopen the U.S. economy while at the same time, respond to the problems of the pandemic. They added that his re-election this November was adding to the weight of his current situation.
