BYW, I remember the Democrats being upset about the amount of golf Eisenhower played.

I remember them being upset by the cost of going to the ranches of Bush and Reagan, but nary a peep about marths's vineyard or hawaii.

And I remember Republicans being upset about how much golf Obama played and then falling for lies about how expensive a trip to India was.

You're trying to address a criticism of Trump (that he is lazy) not by addressing whether or not he is, in fact, lazy, but by pointing out that Democrats criticized other presidents. That has nothing to do with the claim that Trump is lazy.

And yes, that is opinion, but I have evidence (number of golf games player and reported daily schedules) to back up my opinion that Trump is lazy.

Looking just at his routine schedule - he often doesn't hold his first meeting until 11 AM because he has "Executive Time" from 8:00 to 11:00 AM in the Oval Office, but reports say he pretty much spends that time watching TV, tweeting, and chatting it up. He then returns to his residence around 18:00.

As the article I link to below shows, most other POTUS' either got in much earlier and ended their scheduled day around the same time, or ended their official day much later.

And that doesn't touch on how much leisure time he has taken doing things like golfing.

OK. Trump is not lazy, and it is, in my opinion, a lie to say so. Lazy people don't amass fortunes over decades, Lazy people don't do nearly as much as Trump. I am a lazy person, so I know.

One of the jokes that was made about me, and later by me, was how would we know when OO has retired?

I may have slept late today, compared to other people, and watched a little TV, and had breakfast at 11, but I also made a real estate deal in the high six figures. I wonder what I could do if I wasn't lazy. Maybe I could be a billionaire. Or president.

BTW, I don't golf. never saw the sense in it. I did try it at one time, around 1989, played about 20 rounds lifetime. Done with that. Parred a hole once. On the green in two, two-putted from 4 feet. Chipped in once from 75 yards, for a 13. I am just as good at golf as I am at bowling. I can shoot a 126 in either sport.

I don't know what if anything you do in your spare time, but if you do anything at all - fishing, western dancing, piano lessons - that does not make you lazy. My nephew fishes. What a waste of time. If only he spent that time in the office, lazy so and so. Also, I hear a lot of businessmen say the golf course is where they make their best deals. I wouldn't know. Only deal I ever made on a golf course was an agreement to quit early.

Find something real to complain about. Should be plenty of material. How about those collusion meetings he goes to, to get his instructions from Vlad? Now there is a waste of time. Or maybe you could detail his plans to sell arms to North Korea after he starts a war. You KNOW that's real. Some guy in Vermont said so.



Sheesh.
