President ‘sitting around watching Fox News and hate-tweeting all day’, former ambassador suggests
Donald Trump participated in just one event per day on average throughout January, according to his public schedule, amid mounting accusations he is not working hard enough as president.
So far this week, Mr Trump’s calendar showed he took part in one intelligence briefing, a lunch with vice-president Mike Pence, and a private Trump campaign fundraiser at his own Washington hotel.
That followed a week in which four days were made up of no more than a single lunch with Mr Pence and another intelligence briefing.
He has also failed to make any form of public appearance since Friday, a stretch in which he has sent more than 45 tweets.
Overall, Mr Trump’s public schedule showed a total of 32 events in the 31 days throughout January – not including his daily intelligence briefings, personal fundraisers or private White House lunches.
That compares with 39 events Mr Trump had on his schedule through January 2018.
