Trump watches up to 5-7 hrs of TV per day, and plays golf all weekend..


In between his Twitter ramblings and insulting and 2 scoops of vanilla and various photo ops..

When does he actually do any governing? or has he pretty much outsourced what is left of the US Presidency?

It is completely revolting now. Can you just imagine what he looks like raging about the White House in a bathrobe?

I guess he doesn't have to know anything because his cabinet and aids do all the work and make all the decisions...he just poses while he signs stuff that others put in front of him. He doesn't know enough about any topic to make any decision himself. Bet Bannon is leading this country.😢

"This guy is lazy. He would prefer to just sit around in his pajamas and eat ice cream!"

Keep in mind, this was well before he was actually elected!

"Pouting", "bludgeoning", "screeching", "whining" could be more accurate.

I note the conspicuous absence of intelligence briefings. There is nothing but feel good appearances in this schedule. When does he actually govern? <--- This is a rhetorical question.

He said during the campaign, “I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done, I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off.”

I guess he has all that work caught up.

That's not a bad thing - would anyone really want Trump making decisions?
