Trump Plans ‘Executive Time’ During Mueller Hearing
July 22, 2019 at 8:09 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


“The White House and President Trump’s re-election campaign plan to tune in Wednesday to watch former special counsel Robert Mueller’s congressional testimony without a coordinated plan to counter the appearance ahead of time, according to multiple officials involved in those discussions,” NBC News reports.

“The president himself is expected to monitor the hearings from the White House as Mueller answers questions about the Russia investigation, according to campaign aides, much like he has done with similar events in the past. His schedule for that day only includes a routine lunch with the vice president, and aides point to his morning ‘executive time’ as a natural window for Trump to take in snippets of the coverage.”

“But when asked directly by reporters last week if he intended to tune in, the president claimed he ‘won’t be watching.'”

His entire presidency has been executive time, if he is not playing golf he is campaigning, he is not interested in anything but photo ops and does not ever read a daily briefing. It is said that Obama read every briefing document every day after his family had gone to bed for the night. He was up to date on every subject.

He's going to watch every second of it, and his handlers will attempt to keep him from blowing a gasket. He's not going to budge from that TV.

His response to ANYTHING is always to reflexively lie.

The last time he told the truth was when he raised his right hand and said I, Donald J. Trump..." Everything after that has been a lie.
