Trump urges Americans to work harder despite spending 22% of term golfing
-
Work harder for my riches, plebs!
"work harder for my riches, you MAGA bitches!"
-
Which includes room and board for his SS detail.
You know were are in a dystopian time when I have to figure out you mean SS as in Secret Service, not the Schutzstaffel.

Every MAGA is going to volunteer to work on Saturdays, and every holiday, right? Dear Leader requires it.
God only got one day of rest, you deserve more rest than God?

Eight days so far during 'work week' time. If he was going on his own dime, this wouldn't be worth talking about.
It just makes a better talking point to say 'he's golfed 37 days out of 152' despite it not being about how he's using his weekends (assuming we hold government to the same 5 on 2 off standard as most of us have) when it's really about how much it's costing.
A better headline would be 'President spends income tax of 20,000 Americans on personal entertainment'.
Agreed, but the person I'm responding to made a point about weeks vs. weekends.

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.

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

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.

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."

I'd recommend Thomas Piketty's 'Capital in the 21st Century' if you're into the deep economics side of all this. Its a bit dense, but really hammers home the point that the period from ~1940 - 1980 in the US was the ONLY period where wealth inequality was declining and therefore it was easier for people to believe that we lived in a meritocracy of some kind where 'adding value' at work actually did lead to added wages. That period has ended, and now inequality and trickle-up economics are reaching all time highs, with no apparent limit in sight.

I love that CNN headline. “Is he right?” Instead of “lel”. Absolute ghouls running this world.

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.

Biden & Obama weren't a golfer though... so looking at just golf is dumb for them.

Biden’s out-of-office ratio far surpasses time off taken by Trump — who spent 26% of his first term away from Washington, D.C. — 381 of his 1,461 days in office, records show.
Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama vacationed for just 11% of their two-term presidencies — and workhorse Jimmy Carter took only 79 days of breaks, accounting for 5% of his single term in office.
Obama was low, Biden was stupid high. Trump is in the middle here.

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

Fuck the NY Post. Just another sensationalist rag. If you want to be taken seriously, find a source that isn’t a right wing mouthpiece.
In contrast,The Washington Post, which used White House pool reports, reports that Biden spent 256 days on vacation or at one of his homes in Delaware through May 22, 2023.
Former President Donald Trump spent a little over a quarter of his presidency, around 380 of his1,461 days in office on personal trips.
Trump's time out of office earned a of media attention because he spent most of his time away, around 250 days, at properties he owned -- and would therefore financially benefit from by his presence -- during his presidency.
However, Snopes comprehensively analyzed the former president's public calendar, research from his administration and pool reports — detailed daily dispatches from the White House press corps tracking Biden's movements — and found that the RNC's claim was inaccurate. It is difficult to define what a "vacation" is for a president, given that a president is never away from duties. Therefore, Snopes determined how many days he was in a vacation setting.
Based on this definition, Biden spent 117 or 118 full days of his 1,461-day presidency (Jan. 20, 2021 to Jan. 20, 2025) on vacation, or about 8% of his presidency. He also spent 66 days, about 4.5% of his presidency, partially in a vacation setting.

Biden golfed a total of nine times.
Is a bullshit comparison then?
Edit: Interesting that you trust snopes.
https://www.allsides.com/news-source/snopes
NY post is effective the same , but other direction. So if my source is unusable then so is yours.
https://www.allsides.com/news-source/new-york-postBut still... your source says way more than 9 days out of office... and certainly not all that far away from trumps numbers at best.
