00:00Official logs show President Trump is clocking some long days at the Oval Office and has not,

00:05as the New York Times reported last week, cut back on his workload due to signs of fatigue.

00:10Their words, not mine. The previously unpublished documents spanned the same 10 weekdays last month

00:16that the Times story cited. They show that the president worked roughly 50 hours each week,

00:20not counting any official duties on the weekend or the unsolicited phone calls he's known to take.

00:31narrative that the 79-year-old commander-in-chief is showing his age. On November 12th, for example,

00:37the president had 32 different meetings with a wide variety of staffers, lawmakers, and businessmen.

00:49day Congress voted to end the 43-day government shutdown. The president began his day with a

00:54staff meeting at 10.30 in the morning and ended it with a 10.40 p.m. meeting with a corporate

00:59executive. The Times report, which, if you hadn't guessed, enraged the president, was based off

01:04readily available public schedules, which leave out a lot of presidential duties. White House Press

01:14Are you kidding me? You all see him almost every single day. He is the most accessible president

01:19in history. He is taking meetings around the clock.
