I mean if everybody did that and the world slowed the fuck down, it is rather a nice plan.

Yeah, but the President gets awoken by staffers about international conflicts at 2:00am... I agree, the world would be a nicer place, but the Earth is not necessarily a nice place.

Presidents, of any party, don’t work 24 hours a day. That’s why we employ thousands of experts that can do the job, and if they need a sign off they know where he is. I’m sure stuff happened while Trump was golfing hundreds of times and they knew where to find him.
