President Trump reportedly told visitors to the White House that former President Barack Obama spent his days watching basketball in the dining room next to the Oval Office.

President Trump reportedly told visitors to the White House that former President Barack Obama spent his days watching basketball in the dining room next to the Oval Office, notes The Hill.  The Washington Post reports on Monday that he also alleged that, when he moved in, there was a hole in the dining room wall and noted that he swapped the room's small television for giant, flat-screen one.  
Specifically, on the basketball comment, the Post notes, citing sources, that Trump told a recent group of visitors: "He just sat in here and watched basketball all day." Meanwhile, Trump has faced criticism for his generous self-allotment of unstructured "Executive Time," during which he can do whatever he would like, reports Politico. Exactly how the president spends the commitment-free blocks is unclear, but he is known to watch a good amount of cable news, send off a number of tweets, phone friends and, it appears, guide White House tours.
