Sleepy Don? Report Says Trump Slashes Workday, Naps Through Events

Show Notes
Transcript

A bombshell report says Trump has gutted his schedule by nearly forty percent, is rolling into “official duties” after lunchtime, and keeps dozing through appearances — all while insisting he’s in peak shape after a mysterious MRI he can’t quite explain. The White House calls it transparency. Critics call it a presidential siesta.

1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.759
Callaroga Shark Media from Washington, DC, where you should probably

2
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:13.759
remember which part of your body got an MRI. This

3
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:19.320
is ballot Happy December. Everyone. Let's hit this all right,

4
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:23.440
gather around for the latest episode of Presidential homemakeover Ego Audition.

5
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.440
President Trump's decided the White House needs a ballroom so

6
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.960
massive it's like he's compensating for something other than just

7
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:35.520
crowd size. Here's the deal. Trump's locked in an architectural

8
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:40.399
showdown with his own handpicked architect, James McCrary. Apparently Trump

9
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:42.960
wants a ninety thousand square foot ballroom that would make

10
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.759
the actual White House look like a garden shed. McCreary's

11
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.880
sitting there, thinking, sir, we're designing a historic landmark, not

12
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.359
auditioning for pimp my presidential residence. The project's got more

13
00:00:55.439 --> 00:01:00.000
drama than a Real Housewives reunion. Trump's micromanaging every detail.

14
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:02.479
He's got a ballroom model in the Oval office like

15
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.319
it's his new favorite toy. And get this, He's funding

16
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:08.439
it through a donor list that reads like a who's

17
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:14.560
who of corporate America, Amazon, Lockheed, Martin Pallanteer because nothing

18
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:19.000
says patriotic contribution like tech giants and defense contractors throwing

19
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.359
cash at a presidential vanity project. Senator Elizabeth Warren's not

20
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.239
having it. She called out the whole circus, saying billionaires

21
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.799
are basically writing checks to get a prime spot on

22
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.120
Trump's good side. It's like a political version of buying

23
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.879
backstage passes, except the backstage is now a ninety thousand

24
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.079
square foot ballroom. The best part they haven't even submitted

25
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.799
official plans to the National Capital Planning Commission. It's like

26
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:46.920
trying to build an addition to your house without telling

27
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:51.719
your homeowners association, Oh, this massive structure. It's totally fine,

28
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.319
trust me. I mean, who needs transparency when you've got

29
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.760
a vision? Right? Trump's basically treating the White House like

30
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:04.439
his personal real estate playground. Architectural norms, budget concerns, public input,

31
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.040
those are for people who don't have their name in

32
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:11.120
gold letters. Trump's been posting cryptic updates on truth Social

33
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.280
like some kind of architectural soap opera villain. As long

34
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:16.960
as we are going to do it, we are going

35
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.919
to do it right, he declares, right, because nothing says

36
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:24.759
presidential restraint like bull dozing historical architecture to build your

37
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.439
personal Versailles. And get this, he's pressuring contractors to cut

38
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.639
their prices. A firm originally quoted three point two million

39
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:38.560
dollars for excavation. Trump said, how about two million? It's

40
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.319
like haggling at a used car lot, except the used

41
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:45.000
car is the literal white house. Breaking news from the

42
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:49.240
world of presidential productivity or should I say presidential inactivity?

43
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.000
The New York Times just dropped an investigative piece that's

44
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.120
basically a detailed report card on President Trump's work ethic,

45
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.319
and let me tell you it's not exactly an A

46
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:03.439
plus perffemants. Turns out, our commander in chief has cut

47
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:08.199
his official appearances by thirty nine percent. Thirty nine percent.

48
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.919
That's not a schedule reduction, that's a scheduled demolition. Remember

49
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.319
when he used to mock Biden as sleepy Joe, Well,

50
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.680
the irony is thicker than the makeup he's using to

51
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:24.759
cover those mysterious hand bruises. Let's break this down. Trump's

52
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:29.120
official events now start after midday. After midday, I wake

53
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.840
up earlier than the President of the United States. His

54
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.120
day begins when most people are already planning lunch. And

55
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.919
speaking of lunch, he's been caught dozing off at more

56
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.599
events than a college lecture hall during finals week. Vice

57
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.599
President JD. Vance is out there claiming Trump doesn't sleep

58
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:49.039
during twenty hour trips. Great, so instead of sleeping, he's

59
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:54.639
what scrolling truth, social plotting, ballroom renovations. The man's got

60
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.599
more energy for late night social media posts than for

61
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:02.520
actual presidential duties. One psychologist described Trump's speaking style as

62
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.879
a stone skipping along water, jumping from one random thought

63
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:11.240
to another. Translation. His brain is basically playing verbal pinball,

64
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.280
and nobody knows where the ball's gonna land. The White

65
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:19.800
House's response classic deflection. Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt basically said,

66
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.519
at least we're not hiding anything, right, because repeatedly closing

67
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.519
your eyes during press conferences is totally transparent. And get this,

68
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.720
He had an MRI recently, and when asked why, he

69
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.680
basically shrugged and said the doctor called it the best

70
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:39.600
result he's ever seen. That's not an explanation. That's what

71
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:41.399
you say when you're trying to convince your mom you

72
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:45.199
didn't break the vase. Seventy nine years old, running the country,

73
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.560
and his most consistent work seems to be applying concealer

74
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:53.120
to cover up bruises and maintaining his social media brand America,

75
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.160
We've officially entered the era of presidential part time. Trump

76
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.600
is offering to release his MRI results, which apparently are

77
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.000
as per as his self assessment. When asked about the

78
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.759
mysterious medical scan, Trump dropped this gem, It wasn't the

79
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.519
brain because, of course he took a cognitive test and

80
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.759
aced it. That's like me saying I aced my driving

81
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.000
test right after backing into a fire hydrant. The White

82
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.920
House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt described the MRI as advanced

83
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:24.439
imaging during a routine physical, Advanced imaging of what could

84
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.480
be anything. Maybe they're checking if his ego can fit

85
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:31.439
into a standard medical imaging machine. The most shocking part,

86
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.439
Trump claims he has no idea what part of his

87
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.000
body got scanned. I've had dental X rays more thoroughly

88
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:46.480
explained than this presidential physical Hollywood's latest power move comes

89
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.000
straight from the White House, and no, I'm not talking

90
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:53.439
about that massive ballroom renovation Malania. Trump's decided to pivot

91
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.240
from floatist to film producer, and honestly, it's like a

92
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.000
political version of a reality show pivot. Introducing Muse Film

93
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.079
named after her secret service code name, because nothing says

94
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.759
serious production company like naming your studio after a government nickname.

95
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.519
I'm sure film executives are just lining up to take meetings.

96
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.720
Her debut project a documentary about the twenty days before

97
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:20.319
Trump's second inauguration. Twenty days. That's not a documentary, that's

98
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:25.600
a really long Instagram story. And who's directing Brett Ratner, Yes,

99
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.000
the same Brett Ratner, who's been about as welcome in

100
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:32.000
Hollywood as a root canal paramount. Apparently agreed to distribute

101
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.879
Rush Hour four after Trump personally requested it, because that's

102
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.600
totally how movie deals work. Now, Amazon blessed their corporate heart,

103
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.959
paid forty million dollars to stream this. Forty million dollars.

104
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:49.319
I've seen student films with more compelling narratives and significantly

105
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:53.160
less baggage. The best part this is happening while Trump's

106
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:57.560
actually president. Most political spouses wait until after their term

107
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:01.879
to start their entertainment empire. Not Milania. She's like, why wait,

108
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.680
let's Hollywood this thing right now. It's like House of

109
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.480
Cards met Real Housewives and had a very ambitious baby.

110
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.000
Stay tuned, America, your presidential entertainment is about to get

111
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.639
very very interesting. Portions of today's show were made with

112
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.319
the help of Ai and An MRI
