CNN’s Kaitlan Collins has revealed what President Donald Trump’s staffers say is the worst thing about travelling with him across the world.

The Chief White House Correspondent said his team struggle to get to grips with president’s unusual sleep schedule, especially on long-haul flights.

‘He doesn’t sleep on these trips and like, you’re going to Asia or something, and that’s kind of the only time you’re going to sleep before you go on this trip, but Trump is just always up and talking,’ she said during an appearance on Jason Tartick’s Trading Secrets podcast on Monday.

‘He’ll have them go wake staff up if they’re asleep because he wants to talk to them.’

Collins referred to a May 2019 story she wrote with CNN senior reporter Kevin Liptak during Trump’s first term in which five officials described being aboard Air Force One as like ‘being held captive’.

‘I had this source who said you never want to be on Air Force One on a trip, and I said, “Why? You would think you would want to be in the axis of power, close to Trump,”‘ Collins said on the podcast.

Staffers were routinely woken up while they were sleeping so Trump could speak to them about upcoming meetings or how he should respond to something negative said about him in the media.

The report also claimed that Trump had all the televisions switched to Fox News and that he spent hours reviewing cable news shows that had been recorded for him.

The staffers said they were kept up for hours and were often unable to convince Trump to go join Melania in their private quarters for some rest.

At the time, Air Force One did not have lie-flat seats, as is common on business-class sections of commercial flights, for anyone except Trump and the First Lady.

So, aides were forced to find the nearest couch or office chair. The best prepared among them brought yoga mats so they could sleep on the floor with some comfort.

The CNN report delved into Trump’s odd sleeping habits as a then-septuagenarian.

He only slept four to five hours a night in the White House and even less than that when he was in the air.

More recently, Attorney General Pam Bondi commented on Trump’s sleep schedule, suggesting that he still operates with little to no rest.

‘None of us can keep up with him; we always joke. I don’t know how he does it. I mean, none of us know when he sleeps,’ Bondi said on The Katie Miller Podcast on September 15.

‘He’s working all the time, and it’s just constant for him.’

Vice President JD Vance has said Trump calls him in the middle of the night and early in the morning, which sometimes makes him wonder if he ever sleeps.

Trump himself has frequently bragged about not sleeping a lot and even promoted it as a way to get ahead as a businessman in his 2004 book, Think Like a Billionaire.

‘Don’t sleep any more than you have to,’ he wrote. ‘I usually sleep about four hours per night. I’m in bed by 1am and up to read the newspapers at 5am. That’s all I need, and it gives me a competitive edge.
