President Donald Trump has instructed his staff to significantly expand details in his public schedule, a move aimed at countering growing scrutiny over his energy levels and workload as he approaches his 80th birthday. To address this, aides began listing private meetings and engagements that previously would not have appeared on the public calendar. Multiple sources confirmed the directive to enhance the schedule came directly from Trump, who has long been sensitive to any suggestion that he is slowing down. Trump wanted it publicly understood that even when not in front of cameras, he remains engaged throughout the day. Addressing reporters during a rare briefing at the White House last week, Trump, at times sounding exasperated, thumbed through mugshots of individuals arrested in his immigration crackdown, highlighting their alleged crimes.
