In reply to the discussion: Now the laziest president ever---Trump's day starts at 11 AM. [View all]Jim Lane
(11,175 posts)Some workplaces have "core time" -- everyone must be in the office between, say, 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Other than that, people can set their own schedules. The dayflies can arrive at sunrise and leave at 3:00. We night owls can make (perhaps just barely make) the 11:00 start time and stay into the evening.
The "people who work normal hours" should be expected to make some accommodation to the President of the United States. If some extractive-industry types want to lobby for the repeal of another environmental protection, I'm sure they'll be glad to meet with the President at 8:00 p.m. if that's when he can see them.
Also, the President has global responsibilities. Normal hours in DC aren't the same as in California, let alone the Eastern Hemisphere.
The basic point is that we can't call Trump lazy just because he starts his day at 11:00. He's lazy because he doesn't do much work.
