"Trump's arrival at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday morning marks his 56th visit there since his 2025 inauguration and his 110th day on a golf course that he owns - meaning he has played golf on more than one-quarter of his days since returning to the presidency."

Donald Trump doesn't do work. He just doesn't. He's the laziest sumbitch we've ever had as president. This, coupled with his royal pretensions, gives us a $100 million golf bill, which Guinness will no doubt certify as being the largest in human history.

Meanwhile, we're running out of Tomahawk missiles.

Aside from floating from one ceremonial testimonial to himself to another Potemkin village-style staged event, Trump actually does very little, certainly when it comes to actual work: rollcall.com

Clue: He surely regards the extraordinary amount of time he wastes mired in ridiculous displays of obeisance by glassy-eyed toadies as "work."

If we survive him and there is still a relatively free press running somewhere, historians are going to spend decades puzzling over this one.

And, as usual: No, thank you, MAGAts. No, really, the best you can do is just eff off.

President Obama's travel budget for his family was estimated at $100 million for an 8-day trip to Africa. That's like $200 milllion in Bidenflation dollars, he averaged 133 trips per year. It was kind of thing at the time because his beard, Big Mike, would often fly in a separate plane.

"Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf. Worse than Carter," Trump said in 2014.

"I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to go play golf," he said at an event in Virginia.

Now shut up about it while I block your view of Trumpy wasting your time and money playing golf with this big truck and some black plastic bags.

Apparently golf is the onlyactivity that relieves the excruciating pain of Old Yeller's crippling "bone spurs."

Well, golf and "executive time."

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

The trip he took to visit heads of state for three nations on the continent? Visiting with heads of state is considered the equivalent as going golfing, now?

Obama took 52 international trips in 8 years.en.wikipedia.org

Trump took 8 trips just last year alone. en.wikipedia.org So those numbers are pretty close. But in your mind every trip Obama took was for personal purposes, while Trump is all-business while golfing at his own resorts and charging the American taxpayer top-dollar for Secret Service space there.

Republicans, remember: You asked for this. Given the choice between a dozen solid conservatives and one Clinton-supporting con-artist and game-show host, you chose the con-artist. You chose him freely. Nobody made you do it.

"President Obama's travel budget for his family was estimated at $100 million for an 8-day trip to Africa."

I remember that well. The MOMENT I saw the figure, I knew it was a lie. Absolutely DID NOT pass the smell test.

Some folks are just gullible.

Talk to your buddies and ask them to behave less crazy and Trump wouldn't need so much protection.

President Obama's travel budget for his family was estimated at blah blah blah

Which you were super pissed about, but now it's Trump so you don't care.

Idiot.

Candidate Trump ...

February 4, 2016
I love golf... but if I were in the White House ... I'd just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off.

March 14, 2016
If you're here at the White House, and you have so much work to do, why do you fly? Why do you leave so much?

August 6, 2016
I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to be playing golf.

August 25, 2016
I won't be playing golf.
