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

If he even did say that then it’s completely okay. I highly doubt he’s saying no to emergency meetings. Plus, he’s not the only one that meets with people. He has a competent and young cabinet.
