LOL! WaPo Disputes Trump's Claim That He Is Busy and Active!




President Trump says he’s ‘very active.’ His schedule doesn’t.


So far this week, Trump has had only nine events on his public calendar — all of them closed. If we compare week-to-week, that shift in his activity is obvious.

The obvious question that arises is: What’s Trump doing the rest of the time?

If he’s very active, what’s he active doing? Who’s he meeting with? What are they discussing? We are left to make one of two assumptions: Trump either is hiding a lot of his presidential business from the public, or he is not doing much at all.

if he had 1/3 a brain in his head he would know all the talk about him watching tv all day long and tweeting on the pot is not "active" and the world is talking.. also he's a fast tracker on breaking the record of the number Holes while in office.

If I recall, he did work ALL DAY, had dinner with his family and then went back and read briefs at night. No moping around in a bathrobe, watching cable news and wasting time on social networking for him!
