CNN’s Kaitlin Collins Reveals What Staffers Dread Most About Traveling With Trump
Mediaite ^ | 107//2025 | David Gilmour

CNN’s chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins has offered a revealing glimpse into what staffers dread most about traveling with President Donald Trump – the fact that he “does not sleep.”

Speaking on Jason Tartick’s Trading Secrets podcast on Monday, Collins said she had heard first-hand accounts from Trump aides about the exhaustion of working in his orbit.

“He does not sleep,” Collins said, adding: “Trump is just always up and talking, and he’ll like have them go wake staff up if they’re asleep because he wants to talk to them.”

"...what staffers dread most about traveling with President Donald Trump"

Most.

What they dread 'most'.

The implication is that there are a lot of things to dread about what is and should be regarded as, an honor and a privilege.

What? No threat of getting hit on the head with a lamp or ashtray like the good old days?

Lack of sleep is not good.
Both Reagan and Thatcher used to brag about how they ran on 4 hours or less of sleep. Years later, it affected their minds.
Sleep is important.

>> Kind of like Bizarro Traveling With Biden.

From “Always asleep” to “Never sleeps” must take some getting used to!

“ Lack of sleep is not good.”

Nope. Yet some of the wealthiest people only sleep a few hours a night.

Well, she was only 17 when Biden was VP so she was a little too old for Biden the pedo to be sniffing her hair and putting his hands on her.

Kaitlyn reminds me of a bad prom date. Or Taylor Lorenz.

Just depends on the person. I strongly prefer 7-8 hours, better at 8.

My wife is 4-5, which is how her mom is, at 85. MIL is sadly sharp as a tack and mean.

The antidote must be...Diet Coke! ;-)

Their biggest fear is they can’t keep up with a 77 year-old.

The only thing that this brainless bimbo can complain about is that we have a chief executive with energy and the drive to accomplish something on behalf of the American people?

Having spent an entire career managing sleep and fatigue, one important lesson was learned. Your body knows what it needs and everyone is different.

I found my sleep cycle (falling asleep, deep sleep, then waking) was 2 hours 35 minutes. I would experience two sleep cycles per night, or day as required.

When I had two full sleep cycles, I was ready to take on a full day. Less than that and I was groggy and needed a nap. More than that, I was tired and it took a lot of motivation to get started.

51/2 hours of bedtime put me at my best. Now that I’m retired and sleeping longer, I’m lazy. Everyone is different.

Trump don’t take no crap from the girlymen in the “media”. They don’t scare him.
