Today I honestly can’t believe Trump could behave like this with his staff, because what he does EVERY SINGLE MORNING before his day even begins is something that will make you understand what real leadership looks like. For YEARS, he has reportedly been making three personal phone calls every morning — something most staff members didn’t even know about until recently.
Here’s the morning routine almost nobody talks about: Every morning — EVERY MORNING for YEARS — before Trump begins his presidential responsibilities, before meetings, before anything else, Trump picks up the phone and personally calls THREE random White House staff members.
Not the same people. RANDOM staff members. Different people each day.
The calls are short and simple:
“Hello, this is Donald Trump. I wanted to personally call and say THANK YOU for your work yesterday. You did a great job. I appreciate you.”
That’s all. Then he hangs up and calls the next person.
Three calls. Every morning. For YEARS.
Staff members who have received these calls describe the SAME reaction every time: Complete SHOCK.
One janitor reportedly said:
“I thought it was a prank when my phone rang at 7 AM and it was PRESIDENT TRUMP thanking ME for cleaning yesterday. I’m a JANITOR. The President called ME?”
A junior assistant reportedly said:
“I’d only been working there 2 weeks when Trump personally called me just to say thank you. I almost cried. Nobody’s BOSS has ever called me simply to say thanks.”
Think about that consistency: 3 calls every morning. 365 days a year. For YEARS.
That would mean more than 1,000 staff members personally thanked by the President through a direct phone call over time.
Why would Trump do this?
His explanation is beautiful:
“Everyone who works here DESERVES direct appreciation from ME — not from their supervisor, from ME personally. So every morning, I make sure 3 people hear it directly.”
While some leaders rely on assistants, messages, or emails, Trump personally picks up the phone and makes the calls himself.
Here’s the message behind it: Trump has been thanking 3 random staff members every morning for years because he believes everyone deserves to hear “thank you” directly from the TOP. 📞🇺🇸
Drop 📞 if daily calls like this move you.
Comment: WHEN was the last time YOUR boss personally called you just to say thank you?
Share this so staff everywhere remember: appreciation matters.
Follow if 3 daily calls = character.
Years of morning gratitude!
