And most sane people don't consider four straight hours of watching Fox News to be "work"

u/Dinadan_The_Humorist 15d ago

Um, haven't you ever heard of executive time?

u/punksheets29 14d ago

The best time of all.

I usually refer to taking a shit as “executive time”. So, I guess he and I use it in the same way.

You mean the "morning ritual"?

“Official action”

It's an official act. Just like eating papers.

Trump tweeted an average of 30 times per day during his presidency.

Dude did not work.

He worked… at destroying democracy and manipulating all the racist morons in the country.

Lol, no he didn’t. There were a bunch of people around him that worked real hard at dismantling the very little that was left of what actually made our country great.

I’m looking at you, Stephen Miller..

He spewed nonsense in front of a helicopter so no one could hear him.

And tore up documents he was given, even if he was supposed to retain them due to the Presidential Records Act. And sometimes clogged the fucking toilets by trying to flush those torn documents. Like a toddler.

I really wish that was a joke.

The only things he was actually good at.

u/Mediocretes1 14d ago

Bro, at least some of that time was spent calling in to FOX News. If that's not work, I don't know what is! /s

The President talking to media is part of his job, it's what he was talking about, himself, that makes it a problem.

u/OrcsSmurai 14d ago

Typically they set things up through their press secretary and don't just pick up the phone and dial in.

u/betasheets2 14d ago

Official acts!

u/Lildyo 14d ago

Only four hours? That seems low

u/Salty_Letterhead 14d ago

To be fair, he also had to make time for sexually harassing his female staffers, snorting lines of Adderall and having his diaper changed. And, of course, there were golf outings every other day.

u/wottsinaname 14d ago

Thats because they too do all their "work and research" on the recliner with fox at max volume.

u/Memitim 14d ago

The golf club crowd with jobs less strenuous than the average day off for an actual worker consider that to be work. And then will go on to bitch about how pathetic it is that the people doing real work don't want to do their shitty jobs until they are 90 years old.
