Reagan often started his day around 7:45 a.m. with a breakfast with first lady Nancy Reagan, before reporting to the Oval Office. His presidential schedules show large chunks of “phone and office time,’’ when Clinton would make calls, work on speeches and, sometimes, play golf. “President Trump has a different leadership style than his predecessors and the results speak for themselves,’’ White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement. Madeleine Westerhout, the White House director of Oval Office Operations, called the leak “a disgraceful breach of trust” in a tweet. Both Brinkley and Beckmann said Trump’s lightly apportioned schedule doesn’t necessarily mean that the president is lazy or working less than his predecessors.
