Here's How Trump Spends 60% Of His Day
In a recent segment from "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," a humorous critique is presented on how former President Donald Trump allocates his time, specifically during what he refers to as "Executive Time." This phrase has garnered attention, especially considering reports that suggested Trump spends about 60% of his workday engaging in personal activities rather than official duties.
Colbert opens the discussion with a commentary on the serious political climate, highlighting the potential for another government shutdown. Jokingly, he references Alabama Senator Richard Shelby's concerns as "spooky", comically suggesting that it's not a specter, but rather Vice President Mike Pence peering through the curtains.
The conversation then shifts to Trump's controversial decisions regarding the border wall, asserting that he might declare a national emergency to fund it, triggering more comedic ridicule over the rationale behind needing a wall for the very troops he deployed there. The humor continues as Colbert critiques Trump's Twitter habits and remarks on his curious definition of "Executive Time", insinuating that it might just mean being awake but not fully engaged.
Colbert cleverly juxtaposes Trump’s Twitter activity with a humorous take on his reactions to political rivals, like Senator Amy Klobuchar's presidential announcement, which Trump sarcastically criticized for being poorly timed amidst a snowstorm. The segment concludes with Colbert's playful note that Trump’s multifaceted messaging often sends mixed signals to the public.
Overall, this light-hearted take serves not only to entertain but also to underline the unique aspects of Trump's presidency, particularly his unorthodox approach to time management and communication.
