Furious Trump accused of ‘fatigue’ and fast food binge | US | News
Donald Trump exploded in anger after being accused of showing signs of “exhaustion” and significantly reducing his workload.
The 79-year-old president has fewer public appearances in his diary and is traveling far less domestically than in his inaugural year in 2017, according to an analysis published Tuesday by The New York Times.
While the article acknowledged that Trump was taking more foreign trips, it also found that his public appearances were now shorter than usual, with most occurring between noon and 5 p.m.
The publication argued that Trump’s “batteries are showing signs of wear” while in the public eye, observing that the president “occasionally fell asleep” during the Nov. 6 Oval Office meeting.
The article highlighted concerns about the president’s health, claiming that the president “has been known to eat bags of McDonald’s.”
Trump left in anger
The report appeared to infuriate the president, who on Wednesday launched a sweeping tirade on the Truth Social platform, targeting the physical appearance of a female journalist who co-authored the article.
“The Radical Left Crazies at the soon-to-be-shuttered New York Times gave me a stunning report that perhaps I was losing my Energy, even though the facts show the exact opposite. They know this is false, as is almost everything they write about me, including the election results, ALL OF IT IS ABSOLUTELY NEGATIVE,” Trump wrote.
“The writer of the story, Katie Rogers, who is assigned to write only bad things about me, is a third-rate reporter who is ugly inside and out. Despite all this, I have my highest Poll Numbers ever and those numbers need to go up as record-breaking investments are being made in America,” he added.
The President insisted that he had instilled his words more firmly than ever before: “There will be a day when I’m low on energy, this can happen to anyone, but a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAMINATION AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST (“This was a pass”) WAS DONE IN A SHORT TIME, certainly not now!”.
A review of Trump’s official presidential calendars revealed “significant changes” from his first term.
In 2017, Trump’s scheduled meetings began at 10:31 a.m. on average.
However, in the second term, planned meetings take place at 12:08 in the afternoon on average.
Meanwhile, Trump’s total official attendance dropped by 39%.
While it organized 1,688 official events between January 20 and November 25 in 2017, it held 1,029 official events in the same period this year.
Dr. was the White House physician from 2000 to 2013. Jeffrey Kuhlman said Trump’s program differs significantly from those pursued by George W. Bush and Barack Obama, who were both much younger than Trump when they took office.
Daily exercise was part of Bush and Obama’s daily routine.
Dr. “They show that he’s effective,” Kuhlman said of Trump’s aides, “but every time he comes into the Oval Office, he’s inactive.”
