One of Donald Trump's Pals Claims He Had a Confrontation' With the Secret Service About His Sleeping Habits
www.sheknows.com
... Sleeping arrangements are different for everybody. Some like the fan on for white noise, while others like to listen to ASMR to drift off to sleep. Some people have the lights on, some have them off; you get it, it's all about preferences. Apparently, though, a couple of US President Donald Trump's sleeping habits caused a confrontation with his staff, per one of his close acquaintances.
In case you missed it, biographer Michael Wolff spoke on a new Inside Trump's Head podcast episode, specifically about Trump's bedtime habits; and how they had to be put to an end.
"During the first administration, he had a lock installed on his bedroom door, and that precipitated a fight with the Secret Service, who actually took it off " demanded it be taken off. This was a confrontation," he said. ...

You may be wondering: Why could no locks be installed? Well, according to The Week, the US President isn't allowed to do so because their armed guards need easier access to them. Plus, the armed guard is always out front, and having to go through a locked door could be a security risk.
Now, this actually isn't the first time we've heard about this bedroom habit. Back in 2019, in Free, Melania: the Unauthorized Biography, it was revealed that Donald originally asked for a lock on his door back then, too.
But then, Wolff also discussed a second altercation with the White House staff, saying, "Then there was another issue when the White House domestic staff changed his sheets, and he had a fit. What that's about, I have no idea." And neither do we! ...
The Pathfinder - James Fenimore Cooper (1840)
www.goodreads.com
... Published in 1840, this was the second-to-last of the Leatherstocking Tales to be written, though in terms of the series' internal chronology, it's the third. Protagonist Natty Bumpo ("Pathfinder" is another of his many nicknames) here is in his late 30s. The French and Indian War is still raging; Cooper gives the date only as the late 1750s, but it's after the events of The Last of the Mohicans, which is set in 1757, so 1759 would probably be a best guess.
Our setting here is on and around Lake Ontario, the easternmost of the Great Lakes, which then and now formed the northern boundary of the western part of New York.
English civilian settlement at this time didn't extend to the lake, but the British army maintained a fort on the southern shore, at the mouth of the Oswego River.
When the book opens, we find two men and two women near the lake, headed for this fort; and they soon meet Natty and a couple of other men, sent from the fort to see them safely in. But even if they reach that haven safely, in this wartime wild ...
