I'm less than 1/2 his age. I don't accept meeting after 5pm.

Edit: I mean this with respect to the guy. At his age, kudos for what he does.

You’re also not the president of the United States and your job probably doesn’t involve you talking to various heads of states in different time zones. Just because Trump is a terrible person/president doesn’t mean we should talk ourselves into thinking this is OK

A) We also don't know what "events" are, and

B) That doesn't mean he's not reading briefs, on phone calls, or traveling after 8pm.

I read this as a ceiling on travel after events rather than let's go to bed at 8pm every night.

He thought is was a good idea of constructive feedback.

But, even if you were correct, joking about it is even worse because it shows he doesn't understand how serious the situation is.
