Ready to watch this fuck spend another 50 million of our tax dollars on fucking golf?
Not spend. Collect. He only goes to his own clubs. And he charges his detail for it too.
Well, both spend and collect, to be accurate.
I figure when the American people are forced to spend on something for which he personally collects we can just call it stealing.
Ah... My mistake...
And somehow such a wasteful expenditure won't make it into the recommendations of cuts by DGE
Hypocrisy aside, any moment he spends golfing is one less spent taking away people's rights.
Although someone else wrote all those Executive Actions he scrawled on, so unless they're on the course pretending they don't see him cheating, evil is still being done.
Hah! I win my shitty personal bet that he wouldn't make it a week without getting back to fucking golf! God how I hate that bloated, predictable shitbag
He just needed to go back to make money. Each golfing expedition forces to Secret Service to book overpriced stays at Trump resorts for the Agents accompanying him. It is money directly out of the federal budget into Donalds profits.
And the green fee, since he plays on Trump golf courses. Bet he overcharges with some made up VIP fee.
With him as president, I am absolutely using "SS" and not "USSS" when referring to them.
Well, and with ICE, you also have the perfect GeStaPo.
George W. Bush took 1,020 days off during 2 terms meaning he spent ~35% of his presidency on "vacation".
Obama took 328 days off during his 2 terms meaning he spent ~11% of his presidency on "vacation".
Trump took 380 days off during his first term meaning he spent ~26% of his presidency on "vacation".
Biden took 532 days off during his term meaning he spent ~36% of his presidency on "vacation".
I put vacation in quotes because it's really hard to say if 100% of those days were pure leisure or if they were partially working, but either way it gives you a rough idea of how long each president spent actually working
For fun Carter took only 79 days off during his term meaning he spent only ~5% of his presidency on "vacation".
I'm not certain what the president's "normal" hours/workweek are really expected to be, I kind of assume that is theory it's kind of a 24/7/365 gig for 4 years
But I feel like it may be worth pointing out that if you work a normal Monday-Friday gig and take no additional vacation, your weekends off would add up to about 29% of the year off.
If you get, say, 10 vacation days you're now up around 31%
Personally I work 12 hour shifts on a 2-2-3 rotation, so even if I don't take any of my PTO and depending how the calendar works out on any given year I'm sitting at just about 50% of days off the job (provided I don't come in for overtime) for my normal schedule, though I technically work slightly more hours than someone who does a normal 40 hour work week.
So I don't think just looking at raw numbers of how many days off they took is necessarily a useful metric.
How many hours they actually spend working and how much they manage to achieve is probably much more important, though I suspect it's difficult if not impossible to get real metrics on that
I suspect that trump probably isn't the type to put in a full 8 hours of actual work, and even if he does get roped into an all-day meeting, it's probably not particularly productive since they'd have to spend the whole time explaining the basics to him instead of actually getting anything done. And I'm sure the only reason he ever brings work home with him is so that he can sell it to the highest bidder from his private bathroom/copier room.
Let compare this with a 9 to 5 job.
There are ~250 working days per year.
How many days they actually took off of between monday and friday?
I'm a federal worker: the tone of "You can't be trusted to do your job" would be disheartening coming from another administration. From this one, it feels like a mean-spirited joke.
With this admin, isn't it more of a bagde of honor?
A badge of honor that's a significant upset to a lot of people's lives.
I started updating my resume when this administration came in.
The qons have SUCH a weird fixation on people being in office. It's so bizarre. I think it goes to their control-freak nature.
Well, at least he finally fucked off to go golfing for a while.
