#Trump #trial #SCOTUS

[@hothmobile100]

Thank you for being the only journalist willing to report how lazy he is. Not only did he not start working until 11am, he golfed for 297 days or so in his 4 years of working as president. He’s easily the laziest president in our history.

[@LMM7880]

And all Fox did during Obama's presidency was talk about how many times he played golf, took a holiday, took weekends off. Never do they say anything about Trump's goofing off.

[@cynthiastopsen]

Don't forget all the texts he had to post every single minute.

[@user-pk6bu9ge1i]

He never worked as POTUS. He was just Putin's puppet.

[@tammylathrop6223]

Telling 3590 lies took up alot of his waking hours

[@LazyIRanch]

Big difference between Obama and trump. Obama played golf at military bases, costing the taxpayers much less. He mostly played at Andrews AF base which is near the WH, and after nine holes he returned to the Oval Office to work. He also played with his top aides, so most likely they discussed some important work-related topics while on the course, away from the press. He even played then speaker of the house, John Boehner: "In a bid to jump-start stalled budget talks with Congress, the administration arranged a historic golf summit with House Speaker John Boehner. It was the first time a sitting president had agreed to play a round with the leader of the opposing party." Obama got stuff done! Boehner wanted to play against the president, but Obama had a better idea. He and Boehner played as a team, against Joe Biden and then Ohio Gov. Kasich. Boehner and Obama won the match, and $2. Then there's trump, who flew Air Force One to his own golf clubs, costing the taxpayers @ $144 MILLION. Much of that money went into trump's high club fees, room rentals for Secret Service, and every extra they could tack on.🤑

It's not "legal expense" unless stormy has a license to practice law.

[@LazyIRanch]

Especially when Cult 45s lawyer and accountant _both_ went to prison for committing the same crimes that DJT is now charged with. Those two committed crimes _FOR_ DJT, and the fool is openly admitting he paid them to commit those illegal activities. Every time he plays accordion and lies to his fans, he gives the prosecution more evidence that strengthens their case against him. Let the windbag talk!😂🌬

[@nlwilson4892]

It wasn't even that. He paid Stormy Daniels via Cohen, the money wasn't Cohen's fees.

[@Dismal-future]

Laziest president ever😂

[@jim2376]

Easily. No other president even comes close.

[@LazyIRanch]

@ShimmyShake-tm4gq Taft and Trump had some things in common; both weighed in excess of 300 pounds, had unpopular high tariffs on goods (Payne-Aldrich Act, if you care to learn a little history), and appointed an interior secretary who attempted to undo Teddy Roosevelt's protections for the environment and National Park designations. Big differences are that Taft was highly educated and graduated from Yale with a law degree. Taft was a better justice than he was a President, he almost became a SC justice, but his wife pushed him towards the presidency, which he later regretted. At least Taft had a wife who supported and loved him, something DJT has _never_ known.

Trump is right. We have never seen an ex-president treated as he's being treated because we've never had an ex who is so blantly lying, breaking the law and thinking we're so afraid of him that he can do whatever he wants. Also, presidents and ex-presdent would never put their family through this embarassment. They would just make a deal and escape this embarassment. What happened to Trump, the deal maker?

[@lexieoakley3526]

Trump is a con man, that's the way he made deals. Anything that benefits only Trump.
