President Donald Trump reportedly has to be reminded of differences in time zones on a "constant basis" as he impulsively attempts to call other world leaders, a diplomatic source told Politico.
According to a former National Security Council official, Trump apparently isn't "great at recognizing" that an older world leader might not be awake "or in the right place at 10:30 or 11 p.m. their time."
A White House official said Trump is well aware of how time zones work, especially as someone who's worked in international business for years, but is often too busy to be concerned with such details.
"He's the president of the United States. He's not stopping to add up" time differences, the official told Politico.
"I don't think anybody would expect him or Obama or Bush or Clinton or anybody to do that. That's the whole reason you have a staff to say 'yes, we'll set it up,' and then they find a time that makes most sense," the White House official added.

The president also reportedly "randomly" calls other world leaders without specific topics to discuss, leaving them confused as to why he reached out. Trump has a particularly "bizarre" interest in French President Emmanuel Macron in this regard, according to what one former national security official told Politico.
"[Trump] wanted to talk to him constantly ... Macron would be like: 'Hey what are we talking about?' These are very busy people. You don't just call to check in," the official said.
