And then he went golfing. True story.

[-] CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

And he flew using US government plane. He has spent millions on just plane rides.

Who is wasting tax payer's money.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

King Cuck says no more holidays while golfing his presidency away.

[-] Alaik@lemmy.zip 26 points 10 months ago

We have the least mandated PTO in the developed world and a good portion of the underdeveloped world.

Our federal holidays aren't even days off for most people. Lol

My opinion of him can't be lower but man I keep realizing how fucking stupid his supporters are with every one of his asinine comments.

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Yeah I called Juneteenth getting axed over a month ago and one of my co-workers chimed in that Juneteenth was a Trump holiday. It isn't, it was signed into law by Biden his first year in office. Trump lied about it while campaigning.

"the workers don't want it"

The fuck we don't

[-] renamon_silver@lemmy.wtf 16 points 10 months ago

Imagine being this guy and trying to speak for the working class

[-] SoupBrick@pawb.social 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

And having legal adults stop and think, "Hmm, maybe this day off thing IS kinda woke."

[-] silasmariner@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago

Fellas, is it woke to like holidays?

I hate paid time off. It’s one of the greatest crimes of modern life. I think I’ll campaign to have my union dismantled and my pay cut in half because the current model is clearly ripping off my employer.

Keep in mind that the guy complaining about PTO hasn’t worked a day in his life.

[-] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

"Yeah, PTO is gay!" - Guy who works part-time at Dollar General.

It would be fun to make Trump work a job for 90 days. Nothing major. Maybe answering phones for a help line.

9 to 5 desk job.

Monday through Friday.

If he misses a day he has to "find a new job" and start over.

The dude would fucking CRACK like he was being waterboarded!

[-] Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 months ago

This should be a requirement for holding public office.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Which is why it's absolutely insane they use aoc's prior job as a bartender as an insult. Motherfuckers, she's probably the only person in office who actually understands what it means to work.

[-] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Should be a requirement for life. My SO always says everyone should be required to work retail for one week during the holidays. I have to agree.

[-] justanothermonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah, like how he "worked" at McDee's as a fry cook for 2 minutes and then smiled and waved at people for the rest of his "shift".

[-] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

And then for evenings and weekends, he has to: do chores around the house, fix shit instead of hiring someone else to do it, pay bills, contact businesses because they billed you incorrectly and you can't afford to pay the extra hundred they're charging you, go grocery shopping, meal prep, do taxes, and all the while be a good husband, father, and person who takes care of themselves.

[-] cecinestpasunbot@lemmy.ml 20 points 10 months ago

Kind of telling to be complaining about this on a day which celebrates the end of slavery.

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

The fucker is actively cratering the once biggest economy in the world

and his constituents cheer.

I hope every one of you 'genocide joe' objecters who stayed home feel crushing guilt as you watch the country collapse due to your misplaced ideologies

He says on the holiday dedicated to the freeing of the slaves. It’s no coincidence this the one he complains about.

[-] VeryInterestingTable@jlai.lu 16 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

One of the country with the least amount of paid vacation in the world. And that's the hill he decides to climb on. He excels at making himself look increasingly moronic.

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

The only reason they don't have a lower amount of mandatory paid vacation is because it is impossible to go below 0.

What a fucking moron along with all his voters

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

They need that tax revenue to make up for all the tax cuts for the wealthy.

[-] cook_pass_babtridge@feddit.uk 6 points 9 months ago

This isn't entirely true - someone calculated that, on a good year, a peasant could only work 150 days a year towards the rent of their own farmland. Then they have to actually work that land, take care of their animals, and manually do basically every industrial process we take for granted to get food in their belly. They didn't work 150 days a year then go off with a cheque that will sort them out for the rest of the year.

America produces way more than enough to allow everyone to live comfortably and enjoy life. But the fruits of all that extra productivity is being hoarded by a tiny portion of the population while workers are being increasingly stretched and strained to extract as much value from then as possible while paying them as least as possible.

The scarcity of wealth and the need to always work harder and longer hours to barely make it is an illusion maintained to exploit the workers.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

life is not created for an economy

[-] NoMadLadNZ@lemmy.nz 9 points 10 months ago

Get off the golf course yourself then you orange turd

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I dont know, seems like the golf course is the absolute best place for him to be.

[-] FreeAZ@sopuli.xyz 7 points 10 months ago

That would be under the golf course.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 9 months ago

Pretty sure his body would work as anti-fertilizer.

Doesn't tourism help the economy? You gotta give people time off to be the consumers you want them to be.

I know nurses and other government employees who wouldn't want less mandatory holidays off, you're either off or get holiday pay to work on a Monday!

[-] mechoman444@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

No one is forcing anyone to be closed on holidays! There's no law or rule or anything!

Banks don't have to close and work absolute shit hours because they handle money!

You wanna make more money stay open on holidays.

I work in appliance repair I get the 4th of July, thanksgiving and Christmas and new years.

It sucks. But we make more money.

[-] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

My sleep deprived brain trying to process the 4th thanksgiving. Like, I only get one and this guy gets 4. I’m going to go to sleep now, you should also invest in some commas. :)

[-] psivchaz@reddthat.com 4 points 10 months ago

I was thinking he only took Thanksgiving off every 4 years.

[-] FancyPantsFIRE@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

I doubt he cares about holidays at all, but he very much cares about removing a holiday that is specifically relevant to not white people.

I was taking with a family member yesterday and said I'd be shocked if Juneteenth is still a holiday next year.

Said the guy who spends 1/3 of his time golfing

[-] DegenerationIP@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Happens in Germany too right now. People really need to find back to Unions and take more Power over their rights, before they just Cut it off

Thinly veiled attempt to get rid of juneteenth. So just the usual rightwing racism.

[-] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago

And the fact he posted this on Juneteenth is just coincidence, right?

Remember back in the middle ages, when everyone was sporting an axe and knew where the boss's house was?

[-] dumbass@quokk.au 4 points 10 months ago

They also had more days off back then, more time to sharpen that axe.
