Former Trump White House spokesworm Judd Deere testified to the House January 6th Select Committee that Donald’s famously stupid daily schedule filler “President Trump will work from early in the morning until late in the evening. He will make many calls and have many meetings,” which his staff began publishing on January 4th, 2021, was the result of a change ordered by Trump.
A change that only came when he found out for the first time, 16 days before leaving office, that the daily presidential schedule is public, per Deere. “Beginning sometime around mid to late December, the President discovered that, for the first time, my understanding, that we released a public schedule of his to the public. He wanted to change the way we did that. And so what became the new version of the public schedule was basically a couple of sentences about what his day would consist of rather than specific times and titles of events in an outline form,” Deere said.
