Remember Rob Goldstein email to trump jnr when he was setting up the trump tower meeting,
“this is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr Trump.”

That's not nothing...

I've corrected that for him.

Have we had these from Omarosa?

Firstly she claims Trump wants to start a race war:

Secondly that Trump would have Melania deported if she divorced him:

one full day in nine rather than one full day in three would be a meaningful difference do you not think? You claim to want to see the other side and yet..... I only asked if they were full days, it must be easy enough to check. May be biker28 could do it he is good with numbers....

At the risk of incurring the wrath of the anti-trumpers is that whole days? I go to London on a Saturday from time to time. I travel up on Friday afternoon stay over Friday night enjoy the day on Saturday stay over Saturday night and travel back on Sunday morning . Now I count that as one day in London is that the same as these stats or would my day out in London be counted as three days?
Being there over 3 days is not 1 day, in my book.

Trump has been president for 576 days
Trump is again at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ.

This is Trump's 192nd day at a Trump property as president and his 149th day at a Trump golf club as president
Trump has spent nearly 25 percent of his days in office at one of his golf properties for some portion of the day. There have been days where Trump has visited one of his golf clubs and not played golf. He made a 40-minute visit to his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., and he has made a three-day visit to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., to watch the 2017 US Women's Open, unfolding at that club. Trump spent a 17-day "working vacation" at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., in August, which meant all of those days count as days on his golf courses, even though he didn't necessarily play golf on all of those days

According to the Washington post, in 558 days as president he told 4399 lies.

fkin hell mate he's the president of the USA. He's playing an obscene amount of golf and lining his own pockets whilst he does it, whatever special way of counting days you use.

Why on earth are you defending this? Seems a demented choice to go to bat for Trump on this one.

There's a website for the golf count,
https://trumpgolfcount.com/
Which estimates it's cost $74m for trump to golf so far, then add in his 17 visits to Mar-a-lago,

The whole point of this is trumps defence in his emoulements court case is that allowing it to go forward wouldn't be a distraction for trumps official work, yet he spends 25% of his time playing golf, yet more time at his properties.
The defence shouldn't be allowed.

Anyone defending him by this point is demented, let's face it.

It's glorious, what on earth has Trump done to the world of politics?!

"if that worn out baseball glove tightly gripping a turd can be president, then amigos, anyone can" rofl

His mug on the desk, the goat, it's all just too much.

Here is his schedule.... He seems to work five days a week by the looks of it....but I am sure you are right and calling me demented is the correct response .... https://factba.se/topic/calendar

For balance (something most here do not seem to have any of) here is Obamas also....
https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog#today

Very little between the two as far as hours worked as far as I can see.....


With regard to his spare time, I am not sure what you expect him to do... sit in the white house or go to one of his properties and play golf. If I was a golfer and owned a string of golf courses you can be sure I would visit them and play golf.

Facile analogy.

I'm not arguing about something I care so little about.

I love that your standard for the leader of one of the most powerful countries in the world is "he seems to work five days a week". good old Donnie is getting his 37.5 hours in, why all the hate?

Anyway you're spectacularly missing the point. He's using government money to pay himself to play golf, whilst he gets paid to be president, and should be, you know, being president.

Flint doesn't have clean water, but Trump has spent tens of millions of dollars of tax payer money on playing golf at his own properties.

He also said, many many times that he wouldn't play golf at all.

It's fine though, I guess, because he's hitting his minimum contracted hours.

A schedule perhaps, but is any work actually being done? Lots of time seemingly spent watching Fox and bashing everyone else (clearly watching his own coverage) and being a Twit on Twitter. Let's all be very real about what's going on here.

Hopefully Trump is the man that, due to the ridiculousness of him being put in a position of power and complete lack of professional leadership, forces the country to come a little closer together to elect someone who can govern with common sense, class and decorum.
It's a bad couple of weeks to look at his schedule as he's taken a holiday, staying at his bedminster golf course and that's taking into account he's the least hardest working president ever.
Prior to that he was attending his rally's, generating funds for his 2020 campaign, which are being used already to pay his legal fees etc.

His general schedule is that he works from 1 to 5 or 6 pm, with the morning being called 'executive time', where he sits watching fox and friends then tweeting.
His 'work time' currently is excessively preoccupied with the trump investigation and what he can do about it. It's why every infrastructure week has been a mitigated disaster as he hasn't had time to even think about anyone else's issues and problems except his own.

His schedule is generally all about what trump can do for trump.

The White House lie to spin his time as 'policy time', and a further executive time after a break for lunch.

Compare that to Obama who regularly worked until 1 or 2 am

I think America should be grateful he's only putting in 2-4 hour days and taking a third of them off.

If he actually put effort in he could cause far more damage
