    Now I understand why a person on Fox News calls some on the left "pin-heads". Really stretching for anti-Trump stuff.

    What has happened and what has he done since his last last vacation last weekend?
    He promised judges that he will see them in court - nothing happened.
    He promised a new EO on his travel ban in the first two days of the week - nothing happened.
    His NSA was booted.
    His VP was lied to by the NSA after Trump allowed his VP to state as fact news that Trump knew was fake.
    His hoped for replacement NSA said no.
    A terrorist massacre in Atlanta (after that dreadful massacre in Bowling Green).
    A terrorist attack in Sweden.
    News that he tweeted about fashion clothes during an intelligence briefing.
    He shouted out fake news a few times.
    Sweden laughing at him.
    His VP says that the US are fully behind NATO (after him campaigning to get out of NATO).
    His advisor goes on national tv to promote Trump's wife clothes line.

    its a fair trade off, he's not accepting taxpayer money for a salary and he gets a tax relief on capital gains on businesses that created high wage jobs for Americans.

    patriotic capitalists who create high wage jobs should be allowed amenities like paid vacations and tax relief, not the ones who create high wage jobs in other countries or pay low wages for illegal immigrant labor.

    The liberal democrat minority in the senate has chosen to obstruct political appointments made by Donald Trump, such as the case of Betty DeVos. What is the point of making numerous nominations for cabinet positions, when those who are tasked with confirming said nominations are refusing to do their job, and simply sit by the sidelines in the name of loyalty to political ideology?

    If the liberal democrat party is taking issue with Donald Trump playing golf rather than working, perhaps they should get to work themselves so he does not have any excuse for not doing what his job entails.

    LOL! Democratic obstruction cannot explain a lack of nominations.

    And given that Republicans control both houses of Congress, even if Democrats make a stink, in the end they do not have the power to prevent Trump's nominees from being confirmed. As your own example of DeVos illustrates. Or were you unaware that she was confirmed and is now our Education Secretary?

    That might have been the lamest defense of Trump's inaction and incompetence that I have yet come across.

    Fat Donald couldn't even be bothered to take a break from watching TV to be in the Situation Room while his botched raid in Yemen was taking place.

    It's not a big deal when the fatty in chief goes to play golf, but when Obama played it was synonymous with Nero playing the fiddle. Hypocrisy. This thread is about right wing hypocrisy, and you just validated the OP's point.

    I don't understand the complaint. Don't you liberals want Trump on vacation as often as possible? You don't want him in the White House and you don't want him enacting any of his policies, right? So the more time he spends on the golf course and on vacation then the less he gets done.

    Unless of course a president is able to do his work from any location, such as discussing policy and making presidential decisions in which case your complaint about his vacations falls flat.

    So there was that HUGE "terrorist" "attack" in Sweden on Friday and where was Bush... I mean Trump? ON VACATION!!!

    And now we find that the Trump family is going to cost the US taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars more than the Obama family that right-wingers complained so bitterly about?

    From your link:

    Trump has like a 3 month lead on President Obama.

    I wonder how many rounds of golf he got in over the THREE vacations during his first month in office. We many never know because Donald the Dictator will likely have the records sealed and this is how he treats the press that traveled to the Mar-a-Lago:

    Most likely to avoid another one of these types of comparisons:

    President Pudgy's delicate ego probably can't handle the truth.

    No, Obama routinely skipped his intelligence briefings. I actually praised Obama for being wise enough to do that several times on this forum.

    But then even the hapless McCain was smart enough to do the same thing.

    Even allowing for such, pray tell exactly what should Donald Trump be doing right now in terms of fulfilling his duties of president of the united states? His constitutional powers and authority are limited in terms of scope.

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/1600/executive-branch

    The president of the untied states is responsible for seeing to the enforcement of the law of the united states, determining which proposed legislation voted on by congress is signed into law, serve as the commander in chief for the military, setting foreign policy, appointing key personnel, delivering the state of the union, and issuing pardons to convicted felons.

    He probably does a bit of both to be honest (a lot of his money comes from hotels after all, notorious for many low paid jobs).

    That's beside the point though. I was just challenging the common presentation of him turning down the Presidential wage as some kind of positive in his favour when it's most likely he didn't do it out of patriotism or the kindness of his heart but simply for personal financial benefit.

    I believe you're wrong. I think like Bill Clinton, Obama may have read the briefings for themselves instead of having them read to them.

    `Trump got a note from his doctor, saying he would be the healthiest person to ever be elected president. BTW: It trumps doctor 5 minutes to write the note.

    Trump's stooges thought they could get away with feeding more "fake news" to the press until Rory McIlroy (a foreigner from a nation with a history of terrorist bombings) indulged in another of those "leaks" that gets the reality tv performer in such a tizzy.

    [​IMG]

    Trump played a full round of golf Sunday, enjoying once again a habit he regularly assailed Barack Obama for.

    After initially saying Trump had only played a few holes, the White House reversed itself Monday after professional golfer Rory McIlroy posted on his website that he had played 18 holes with the president.

    This weekend marks Trump’s third straight at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

    Trump regularly panned Obama for his penchant for hitting the links.​


    Personally, I wouldn't care if the hypocrite fibster smacked his wee balls until his fat arse fell off.

    Who cares?
