Madeleine Westerhout Retweeted Axios
What a disgraceful breach of trust to leak schedules. What these dont show are the hundreds of calls and meetings @realDonaldTrump takes everyday. This POTUS is working harder for the American people than anyone in recent history.

(14,966 posts)Think about it. It's not a "leak" if it is fabricated... So by calling this a leak, she is acknowledging the schedules ARE the schedules. But the schedules, by her own assertion, do not show the meeting and phone calls he actually engages in. One must assume some fraction of those meetings and calls are planned, they cannot plausibly all be spontaneous, so keeping them off the schedule is intentional deception.
Why is the White House generating falsified and misleading records? Who is he meeting with that they are trying to hide from the press and the American people? Hmmm???
This rebuttal, in addition to likely being false, merely makes Trump look bad in a different way. And lazy looks less bad than deceitful and corrupt, imo. That's badly done, Ms. Westerhout.

(15,805 posts)for hours he already devotes to his special Executive TV Time, or the playtime daily briefing activity book, then snacktime, potty time, lunchtime, Brother Hannity's Psychic Hotline, more snacks with entertainment provided by praise chanting sycophants, and still hold "hundreds" of additional calls and meetings, too.
Unless... Trump's super powers lets him compress time, or he's stuck in the same bizzaro alternate universe where the Matrix is.

Madeleine is the key, Trump said. Shes the secret. Because shes the person
Trump didnt finish the thought, alas. But his description of Madeleine Westerhout, his 27-year-old executive assistant, piqued our interest.
