  1. The damage he is still wreaking on the country nearly 4 years after being kicked to the curb makes him the worst US President in history. He should be in a windowless concrete box near Florence Colorado with the SCOTUS Six in adjacent cells.

  2. I knew he called it in most of the time but the average 6 hours a day!

    And I bet many of those hours was watching Fox News and tweeting.

  3. I mean, does watching FOX count?

    Trump probably thinks so.

    Donald Trump does not have the mindset a leader, he has the mindset of a shitty boss. His job is not to fix problems but to demand things. The only metric for the success of his domain is his mood. He’s not responsible to make sure his subordinates are able to do their jobs; they are responsible to do his job. Productivity is optimal when he is occupied with something petty and inconsequential, or out of the office entirely.

  5. Look at his campaign. Dude wants to shoot him, knows if he hangs out by the golf course eventually Trump will come by.

  6. He basically worked half days every day (I think his “executive time”, AKA TV time, was every morning until 11 and again starting at 4 PM). He also refused to read any sort of briefing given to him and went golfing constantly.

    Trump would argue that watching Fox News on television for seven hours a day was hard work. I know I can’t watch more than a few minutes without getting disgusted.

  8. *His government was constantly in chaos, with officials having no idea what he wanted them to do, and nobody was entirely clear who was actually in charge of what. He procrastinated wildly when asked to make difficult decisions, and would often end up relying on gut feeling, leaving even close allies in the dark about his plans… This meant that rather than carrying out the duties of state, they spent most of their time in-fighting and back-stabbing each other in an attempt to either win his approval or avoid his attention altogether, depending on what mood he was in that day.*

    *He was incredibly lazy. He wouldn’t get out of bed until after 11 a.m., and wouldn’t do much before lunch other than read what the newspapers had to say about him, the press cuttings being dutifully delivered to him.*

    *He was obsessed with the media and celebrity, and often seems to have viewed himself through that lens.*

    *In many of his personal habits he came across as strange or even childish—he would have regular naps during the day, he would bite his fingernails at the dinner table, and he had a remarkably sweet tooth that led him to eat “prodigious amounts of cake”…*

    *He was deeply insecure about his own lack of knowledge, preferring to either ignore information that contradicted his preconceptions, or to lash out at the expertise of others. He hated being laughed at, but enjoyed it when other people were the butt of the joke (he would perform mocking impressions of people he disliked). But he also craved the approval of those he disdained, and his mood would quickly improve if a newspaper wrote something complimentary about him.*

    …………………..

    The only things that give away that these quotes are about Hitler is that they mention newspapers and press cuttings.

  9. To be fair trump played golf the most, made the most money from foreign countries, special interests like big oil and other corporations and billionaires, lied more than any other president or all past and present president combined, sold more pardons,weakened America as a world power had his own insurrection, he was so busy grifting, lying destroying America and democracy let’s not forget posting and tweeting when do you expect him to have time to actually work

  10. How’s he supposed to find time to be President when he’s so busy figuring out how to fleece America?

    Over 300 days in office he spent at his golf clubs golfing where he spent hundreds of millions of tax payer dollars for him and service to stay there, thus pocketing the cash into his own business

    The man is 78 and he still hasn’t gotten his own life together. Failed businessman, failed marriages, numerous criminal indictments, and criminal convictions.

    If Trump can’t figure out how to get his own life together, what makes people think he can do a job as difficult as running the entire country?
