White House suddenly drops 'Oval Office logs' claiming to show Trump's 12-hour days after reports

Source: The Independent

Tuesday 02 December 2025 19:07 EST


The White House has released “Oval Office logs” reportedly showing President Donald Trump has maintained a busy schedule in recent weeks, working up to 12 hours a day, as part of an effort to counter claims that he is slowing down with age.

The previously undisclosed logs — shared exclusively with The New York Post — cover a period from November 12 to November 25, excluding weekends. They reportedly detail dozens of meetings, phone calls and late-night dinners, providing a more comprehensive look at the president’s schedule than what is publicly available.

The records, which do not include unsolicited calls and early morning social media posts, indicate the Republican president is “working longer hours than the average American,” the NYP reported.

The file dump is designed to rebut a recent report from The New York Times which concluded Trump is showing “signs of fatigue” based on his public schedule.

We’re supposed to believe that less than a week’s worth of supposed logs are an accurate reflection of the activity of a man who has been convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Okay, I’ve got it. Sure thing. Seems legit.

Seriously, I’d have given up trying to pull sh*t like this before I was five, if I ever even tried.

The only people they are trying to fool and are generally successful in fooling are their base with less than room temperature IQs. To anyone paying attention, including swing voters, this is all a sick joke. There just isn't currently a way to reach or change the tiny minds of those that consume the shit that Fox Noise provides 24/7. The best response is to laugh in their ignorant faces.

Poor little guy must be tuckered out from all those tantrums and rage-posting, not to mention working in time to fleece his flock. Sounds exhausting.

would believe ANYTHING coming out of the White House. As long as he's in office we are still in the world of "alternative facts" and 'very fine people on both sides'.
