And it has a TACO index. Perfect. xD

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.

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

Perhaps you would not mind paying his golf bill then.

Edit to add: this is roughly $340,789 per day of golfing. Or over 21 years worth of pretax income for someone making minimum wages... for 1 day of golf. Meaning at minimum wages it would take you 3,200+ years to pay for what trump has golfed so far this term. Provided you only put the entirety of your paycheck to that bill.

He charges the government for golfing at his golf clubs

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Which includes room and board for his SS detail.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If he's just pretending* to listen

Ftfy. Everyone knows he never listens.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Americans should definitely take Voting Day off, to maybe vote.

Of course, Trump is the biggest business idiot in the country. He was largely elected because he is the big, dumb mascot of business idiots.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I keep seeing Ed's site posted everywhere and we need to promote the HELL out of him!!! It seems he is the only person actually making sense today. I send his articles to everyone I know and urge them to read it.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

The other 78% he reneges on nuclear agreements in place since a decade and threatens war on the behalf of a country that starts with I, probably the Ivory Coast, or maybe Iceland, to blow up another country that starts with I, maybe Italy.

Maybe he sees all these Is and thinks "Yeah, I'm awesome."

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week 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?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (6 children)

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.

Stop pretending this is anything close to normal.

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

Every MAGA is going to volunteer to work on Saturdays, and every holiday, right? Dear Leader requires it.

"I DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS!!!" - person that voted for the candidate that promised more work without more pay

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

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.

Well yeah

Pensions are fucked globally

Not a single one of you will see any money from it, so better get working

Even better, you guys will probably need to extend the pension age up to 75 or so

Prepare for fun times

I realize this is not the onion but does anyone have a different source?

This looks fake

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)
