awake after 8pm. If a NON-CRITICAL event or activity is scheduled BEFORE 8pm but goes beyond that time, of course he would STILL BE UP after that time.

And it is obviously not referring to ALL events. Just NON-CRITICAL events and activities. Debates, State of the Union, etc. would of course be done.

He was probably trying to make a statement about having not gotten enough rest lately with all the travel, many events, such a full schedule, etc. etc. and simply needing more rest in general to avoid colds, being so fatigued, etc. Often people make statements that are missing full details, full context, etc. etc. And this is what is obviously happening here.

The presidential schedule is VERY busy, is enough to exhaust ANYONE, and making sure ANY president gets enough rest is important.

Trump played more golf than ANY president in history, and I understand he didn't report to the Oval Office often until noon. Give me a fucking break.
