Clueless

Former President Donald Trump spent nearly four years in the White House before learning his daily schedule was made public — at which point he ordered a stripped down version of the document, a former aide testified.

The surprising revelation was shared by former White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere in his testimony to the House Jan. 6 committee that was made public on Tuesday.

“Every evening we prepared and released the daily guidance for the following day of the president’s public schedule. 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,” Deere told the congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

“He wanted to change the way we did that,” the former president’s communications aide added.

Ignorant and incurious about the actual office he held. I guess that isn't exactly a "surprising revelation." But I did wonder all that time why he wasn't "padding" the daily schedule since there was rarely anything on it.
The White House releases a schedule each day of a president's official activities, such as briefings, meetings and public appearances, and Trump's team did the same until Jan. 5, 2021, when former deputy press secretary Judd Deere said they switched to a boilerplate statement saying he would have "many calls and have many meetings."

Brilliant!

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
