President Trump signing the executive order withdrawing the US from TPP.
Trump is in the Oval Office to take meetings earlier than President Obama, and he's worked through dinner to stay in the West Wing later than President George W. Bush, who would generally return to his residence at 6 p.m. sharp.
Trump doesn't like to read books, those who know him say. And he doesn't work out because he believes it's an energy drain, according to the 2016 book
Trump Revealed. "When you're making speeches for 25,000 people and shouting and screaming and having fun with everybody and making America great again, you get a lot of exercise," he told
People magazine last summer.
Trump does like to watch TV, and he is partial to cable news. On Tuesday night, he tweeted about sending help to Chicago shortly after Fox News host Bill O'Reilly's show aired a segment about crime in the city.
One Trump ally familiar with the president's routines said his
White House schedule is similar to the one he's held for years, and described him as "a late-night guy and early morning riser." "His body clock is one that is very conducive to running on little sleep," the ally said, adding that Trump is known to get up before 6 a.m.
