This is one of those things that really just blows my mind about Trump supporters. We've heard all kinds of stories about Trump and his Laziness. Not just from the left, but even people like Ann Coulter lament his laziness. Some reports have him working no more than a few hours a day. He went golfing more in his first year in office than Obama did in his entire first term.

I hear the right claim all the time that they value hard work. That they don't want a hand out they want a job. They want people to keep more of their money because they worked hard and earned it. Whenever there's a liberal protest they say you don't see Republicans protesting because they're too busy working. Yet all the evidence suggest that Trump is the single laziest person in the history of the U.S. Presidency. He's likely never worked hard a day in his life. He's relied most of his life on simply hiring someone else to do most of the work for him while he just bull****s his way through things and takes all the credit for him.

How can Trump supporters defend Trump's work ethic? How can you justify your support for someone that clearly has no work ethic despite claiming that's a virtue that is paramount to Conservatives?

By using the standard defense, lying, of course!:thumbs:

Trump supporters would defend him if he called their daughters sluts and demanded they hand over their savings to him. Jim Jones #2, with equally the same easily duped cult followers.

He isn't taking this job seriously but I didn't expect him to.

I bet Hillary thought Trump was lazy too. ;)

Actually I have little doubt she knew he was lazy, as the rest of us well informed voters did, but sadly it was just enough lazy Americans who didn't work at being better informed voters who got their lazy man-child elected president.

One would have to wonder how anyone at this point doesn't realize what a lazy president Fat Donald is?

He had all three branches of Government locked up for two solid years and was top loading the Supreme Court and he still failed to lift a finger high enough to get his "big beautiful wall" built or even to secure the money for the "artistically designed steel slats".

Perhaps he should have hung around D.C. a little more working on his "wall" rather than running his fat ass off so often to Marred-A-Lago to schmooze with his rich friends and to cheat at golf.

Donny Deplorable Dummy's would still support him and still vote for him if he shot a family member of theirs on 5th Avenue!

Not that Trump supporters care, but remember when he said he would be so busy as president that he wouldn't have time to vacation or play golf?

Odd how they will selectively hold him to his promises, or to parts of them but not others.

Bunch of political hypocrisy is what it is.

This belies the achievements Trump has made during his presidency. Of course you and yours ignore most of it.

BTW Trump's first trip to Florida since Thanksgiving happened this past weekend. How many places has Nancy been?

This Trump schedule was leaked just a few hours ago and it shows how little Trump actually works on the Job. For every 1 hour of work, he spends 7 hours of executive time. Considering that most people with normal jobs work 40 hours a week in 168 hour week (about 25% of the time) and Trump spends about 14% of the time working in a job where most Presidents have spent over 50% of their time working, shows really how little Trump respects the job and the duty he has to the American public.

Remember what he said on June 2015?

“I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done,” Trump, 69, tells ITK. "I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off.”

“You don’t have time to take time off,” Trump adds.


Trump is lazy, he is a liar and a con man and worst of all, he is not doing his job and does not care about you.

It does need to be mentioned that Obama worked an average of 18 hours a day. Compared to Obama, Trump is on a vacation 95% of the time.

Calling people, having meeting, paper work...sounds like work to me. Like what an "executive" would do.

It was said that actually he spends most of his "executive" time watching TV.

Great resume:

What do you do most of the day? Answer "watch TV". That will get you hired?

Being president is a big job with lots of responsibility and hundreds of things to be done every day. Calling people? having meetings?, paper work?

First of all, having meetings is not on his leaked schedule, paper work is not what he does as he doesn't even like to read, and calling people could be anything including calling Ivanka to ask how her clothing line is doing.

He watches TV! It was also leaked that he does not even "start his day" until 11:00am. Can you see Joe Blow going to work at 11:00 am and stop doing the job at 2:00 pm? How long will he hold his job, given that he is supposed to work "at least" 40 hours a week? Obama worked 18 hours a day!!!!

Trump is up and rolling HOURS before his predecessor EVER GOT OUT OF BED.

That article you posted [from an unnamed source] doesn't say any of what you mentioned.

FWIW no one works 18 hour days. Barry's mystic is clearly embellished.

The evidence suggests that she was correct and that he is in fact very lazy. The question is what would make a person who claims to value a strong work ethic and considers that to be a good judge of character vote for a person with the worst work ethic of any President in history?

He's 'accomplished' records in most gold played and easily the most corrupt admin in US history.

I can see why you'd be proud of that.

First of all, there are already hundreds of links to the "leaked schedule". All you have to do is go to Google and ask for "Presidents leaked schedule" and you can pick and choose which one to read.

By the way, Barry's mystic is not clearly embellished, it showed the "normal" day of Obama. Did he work 18 hours a day every day, probably not but he was at work every day early in the morning and worked all day, just like everyone dedicated to doing their job in an effective way does. Trump spends most of his time watching TV, playing golf, and doing very little. One of his leaked schedules, he had 2 meetings that day for 45 minutes each. That is working for the country?

Another story that is being warmed up to keep the stupid left "hyped". The president's daily schedule is "public knowledge" - everybody can see it at any time.

A little over a year ago, AXIOS already had a meltdown about Trump's executive time. In other words, old stuff.

https://www.axios.com/scoop-trumps-...904-ab76374a-6252-4570-a804-942b3f851840.html


And turning executive time into goof-off time is something that definitely only the left would come up with. :lol:

First person to prove they can't justify trump. Thanks for playing.

LOL!!

No need to "justify Trump" when there is no justification for the OP...except "stories".

Hence...stop listening to stories.

So what are you saying, that it is okay for the President to work 1/4 of what a normal worker works? That Obama worked 5 times as much as Trump but Obama needs to be criticized and Trump given a pass? Whether his work schedule is public knowledge or not, are you condoning him spending so much time doing nothing? and by the way, this is the man that said that he would spend every waking minute working for the country and that he would likely not have time to play golf. As such, that statement is a pure and outright lie. Do you also condone that?

Bring me proof that he is doing nothing for this country during his executive time ...

As to the golfing, keep in mind, that there have been over 200 weekend days (Saturday/Sunday) since he was elected ... and that man owns golf courses.
Please provide a list of the guys Trump was golfing with, and I'll tell you whether is was business or relax time. (grin)
