Also, the new chief executive ends his work day at 6:30 p.m. to watch TV in his bathrobe and opine on Twitter.

“Usually around 6:30 p.m., or sometimes later, Mr. Trump retires upstairs to the residence to recharge, vent and intermittently use Twitter,” said the Times.

Pres. Barack Obama was known for his long work days, breaking for dinner with his family around 6:30 p.m. each day, then studying policy papers, legislative plans and reading deep into the night.

“When Mr. Trump is not watching television in his bathrobe or on his phone reaching out to old campaign hands and advisers, he will sometimes set off to explore the unfamiliar surroundings of his new home.”

Trump eats his lunch every day monitoring the media on a recently-installed flat screen TV. At the end of the day, he confers with press secretary Sean Spicer to go over the day’s newspaper clippings, “marking the ones he does not like with a big arrow in black Sharpie.”

The president is reportedly “obsessed with the décor” of the Oval Office.

“(I)t is both a totem of a victory that validates him as a serious person and an image-burnishing backdrop,” the Times said, “so he has told his staff to schedule as many televised events in the room as possible.”

“To pass the time between meetings, Mr. Trump gives quick tours to visitors, highlighting little tweaks he has made after initially expecting he would have to pay for them himself,” reported Thrush and Haberman.

 “He will linger on the opulence of the newly hung golden drapes, which he told a recent visitor were once used by Franklin D. Roosevelt but in fact were patterned for Bill Clinton.

For a man who sometimes has trouble concentrating on policy memos, Mr. Trump was delighted to page through a book that offered him 17 window covering options.”
