Just for that I'm playing games my entire shift.

[–] letsgo2themall@lemmy.world 18 points 1 hour ago

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 1 points 14 minutes ago

His base legit acts like a class of peasants for this man. It is the most insane thing to watch in real time.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 26 minutes ago

Work harder for my riches, plebs!

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 2 points 49 minutes ago

This monster feeds on media attention. Let's all stop relating every stupid things he says and focus on basically anything else, it will always be more positive.

He'd only do that if you gave it as a gift and put a bow on it

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 hours ago

he'd enjoy that. I'm not sure you would though.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

He should suck your dick while you are taking a shit...

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I think that's just a regular blumpkin.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

You are the leading blumpkin authority!

[–] pepperonisalami@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

If I were you, I'd rather not 😂

[–] scaredoftrumpwinning@lemmy.world 15 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I thought the amount of time he golfs would be higher. Every time he golfs we pay the taco when he stays at his properties.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 3 points 1 hour ago

He intended to golf more but the mind and body are broken.

I’m not a Trump supporter in any way, but it’s not excessive.

That’s 21.7 weeks. If he went golfing on the weekend, then he still golfed less than 2 times per week.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 6 points 12 minutes ago

Est. cost to taxpayers for golf since returning to office: $51,800,000

Perhaps you would not mind paying his golf bill then.

[–] AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

He actually said at his most recent press conference that he's upset because he hasn't been golfing for the last three weeks.

[–] WR5@lemmy.world 1 points 10 minutes ago

There is a calendar on the site showing which days he was confirmed to have been golfing. There are many on the weekends, but not all, which means "work week" time was spent golfing.

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 52 points 9 hours ago

And it has a TACO index. Perfect. xD

[–] PunkRockSportsFan@fanaticus.social 69 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Look at that 275lb (320?) bag of piss wrapped up in a cheap looking 10k suit shitting his pants. Nubby little fingers. Weird nubby mushroom member (this is from a a legal deposition)

Clearly demented and so insecure he can’t even ask for help.

Dude is in over his head.

The stress is gonna kill him. He knows it that’s why he’s not working.

He is not looking healthy

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I hope you're right, but I think like Putin he lives on pure motivated hatred and spite.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 5 points 35 minutes ago

Kissinger lived till 99. Hatred seems to impart longevity somehow.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 19 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

If he's angry, he doesn't look that bad. If he's just listening, he doesn't look great, almost deflated looking.

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If he's just pretending* to listen

Ftfy. Everyone knows he never listens.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 minutes ago

His short term memory is shot anyway, actually listening won’t matter.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 39 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Incentivize it, you living malediction. Expand healthcare to allow more hours, increase overtime pay, make it easier to start a business, personally turn a few billionaires into pulp within a massive stadium housing solely seats, cameras, screens, a long spool of rope, and a single woodchipper. Frankly, these aren’t big asks.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I think one of those industrial grinders that grind up engines and stuff would be even better. Just run it at extra slow speed as you lower them in.

[–] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Nah, keep the machine at full speed, but definitely slowly feed them into it.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago

Or just put a bullet in them and redistribute their wealth.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 26 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

For anyone keeping count, that's about a day and a half per week.

They did the math!

[–] lemmebee@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago

Hope be chokes on his KFC. I’ll go celebrate by eating… KFC

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 17 points 9 hours ago

Given how worker production increasing over time and pay for said production have not stood in line with each other I think I’d rather not.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 13 points 10 hours ago

Frankly, I'd really rather that the Irish Star not encourage him to be spending more time making policy.

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world -1 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

I hate articles like this. You know weekends are 28% of days right? Can we report on real crazy shit Trump has done instead of these performative outrages?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 hours ago

Stop pretending this is anything close to normal.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 17 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 28 minutes ago)

No, I don’t think so.

Biden golfed a total of nine times.

Obama spent 3% of his time golfing.

Trump, 22-25%, depending on the source.

This is crazy shit, a dictator stating people should work harder while spending 1/4th of his time on the course. The presidency isn’f supposed to get weekends off.

[–] rustydomino@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

He is the goddamn president. He doesn’t get weekends.
