Mark Meadows has to remind him to eat.
White House officials say Trump works so hard he often misses lunch
President Trumps schedule is so packed amid the coronavirus crisis that he sometimes skips lunch, his aides told The Post refuting a report that the commander-in-chief spends his days obsessing over TV coverage and eating fries.
White House staffers said the president works around the clock and can make five dozen work-related calls a day during the pandemic.
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, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told The Post.
... A different White House official said that Trump, some days, doesnt eat lunch. There are times when lunch isnt even a thought, the official said. A lot of time theres either no time for lunch or there is 10 minutes for lunch.

(90,762 posts)If you eat three meals worth of calories in one meal that doesn't mean you're skipping a meal or going without or just too busy to eat when mealtime rolls around again.
If you're constantly snacking throughout the morning and lunchtime rolls around and you take a pass, that doesn't mean you're skipping lunch, it means you're full from stuffing your face all morning.

Do the math.

(12,581 posts)If each call lasted 10 minutes, that would be 600 minutes or 10 hours a day talking with friends, family, business associates, the occasional dictator or world leader, and Sean Hannity.
Any way you cut it, 60 is a lot of calls. We know that Trump lies, and lies about everything, but it seems that lying permeates the whole culture in Trumpworld.
Saying, "I was just being sarcastic," is an attempt to shift the blame to the listener, who is just too stupid to understand the joke. At its heart, however, sarcasm is based upon a lie, and we should not accept a president who tells even one lie, much less lie with every breath.

(6,800 posts)Any longer. So if he is in the office making phone calls at 8+9 he would be talking to Europe still at the end of their work day. I guess we could ask them if they get any calls, because we know they are not calling him.

(24,406 posts)Bush Jr. and Trump were/are lazy. I have no reason to believe that Trump is spending most of his time watching TV and tweeting (the tweets do exist and millions of people see them).
