From the moment Donald Trump was sworn in as president until noon Monday, precisely one month passed. A total of 744 hours. Here's how he spent that time.
Time in D.C.
The president spent a little under three-quarters of his time in and around Washington during his first month in office. A little less than half of that was time during which he was officially working — as measured by the time between when the media was told to show up in the morning (known as "call time") until the media was dismissed in the evening (known as "the lid"). Much of Trump's work time fell into a few basic categories. The estimates below are based on pool reports. Most events were assumed to be an hour, unless the schedule made obvious that the length was shorter or longer.
• 6 hours spent in intelligence briefings
• 4 hours spent in news conferences
• 6 hours spent signing bills and executive orders
• 21 hours spent on phone calls and in meetings with foreign leaders
• 14 hours spent in listening sessions with various groups
• 182 hours between call time and the lid with other events that were listed on his public calendar, though not every hour was accounted for during that time. Not captured in those categories are a few special events: the inauguration, the National Prayer Breakfast and the two hours his family spent watching "Finding Dory" in the White House theater. (His press secretary said Trump didn't join in.)
