Donald Trump’s longtime butler has revealed some new information on the Republican frontrunner, such as the fact that he gets only three hours of sleep a night.

When Trump stays at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Trump rises at 4 a.m. every morning, collects five or six newspapers from outside his room, then retreats for hours to read them before emerging in golf gear, butler Anthony Senecal said. 

“You can always tell when the king is here,” Senecal, 74, who has served Trump for nearly 30 years, told the New York Times.

Trump is often in a good mood, and is known around the estate for peeling $100 bills from a wad in his pocket to give to groundskeepers.
