President Donald Trump’s latest public schedule perplexed many people on Twitter Monday night.
The White House press office revealed that Trump would on Tuesday “work from early in the morning until late in the evening” and “make many calls and have many meetings.” Several journalists shared the statement on social media, including the BBC’s Jon Sopel:

The tone of the statement and its lack of details set Twitter alight.
Some critics likened it to something from a children’s book or North Korean propaganda. Others imagined what kind of calls Trump would make:
Sounds like something from a child's picture book called The President's Day

Morning: finger painting, milk & cookies, nap. Afternoon: building blocks, roly poly, musical chairs, lunch. Evening: cartoons, dinner, bedtime story, nighty night.

Everyone says he makes the many-est calls. Just beautiful calls, the most many-est beautiful calls you’ve ever seen.

He will work tirelessly fighting reality and twisting arms to procure election fraud in as many states as will take his calls.

You know, a lot of people are saying that nobody has ever done as many meetings or had as many phone calls.
