President Donald Trump’s work days reportedly begin as late as 11 a.m., end by 6 p.m., and often contain hours of “executive time.”
Trump’s private schedule, which was obtained by Axios, showed “executive time” listed from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m., when he was “in his residence, watching TV, making phone calls and tweeting.” He also had “executive time” periods scheduled throughout each day.
Axios reported that on one particular day, Trump had a meeting with Chief of Staff John Kelly at 11 a.m., followed by an hour of “executive time,” an hour for lunch, an hour and 15 minutes of “executive time,” a 45-minute meeting, then 15 more minutes of “executive time.”
So what’s this “executive time” really all about? People on Twitter have some theories as well as some thoughts on how they’d spend that time:
"executive time" is definitely my new favorite euphemism

Finishing up #ExecutiveTime by sipping my third Diet Coke and changing out of my new French fry jammies (thank you @seanhannity) so I can make my BORING 11AM "meeting". Busy!

Executive time? Policy time? Is that anything like Coloring Time and Potty Time at a day care? The laziest president we have ever had.
