Amazing. Trump goes to the Rose Garden. He talks about Hong Kong. Not a word about George Floyd’s murder. Nor about the violence and riots in Minneapolis. Nor about the 101,000 Covid deaths in just 3 months. Do we even HAVE a president? What does he imagine his job covers? Golf?

[fleur-de-lisa]

1. Golf, p*ssy-grabbing and race-baiting.

[dalton99a]

9. And looting - from our Treasury

[calimary]

27. And don't forget the LYING. The LYING!

The damn detestable galling LYING! ALL THE FUCKING TIME!

How do you know trump is lying? His lips are moving.

Hell, when is he NOT lying???

[unblock]

2. Image management, disinformation, grifting, corruption

And golf.

[The Magistrate]

4. He Imagines, Sir, That His Job is Listening To People Say What a Great Job He's Doing

Not an original line, mind. Something I heard drift out of a radio program on NPR discussing the levels of contagion and public health responses last Sunday. Seems to put it in a nutshell....

[Pacifist Patriot]

5. That is precisely what he believes the job is.

Basking in adoration. Seems to be doing a fine job of hitting the snooze button on the wake up call.

[spanone]

7. This and ONLY this.

[SoonerPride]

6. Golf. Tweeting. Rallies. Eating hamberders. Repeat.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Mango Mussolini (Il Douche) imagines his job is the creation & maintenance of Authoritarianism

1) Get re-elected by "hook, book, and crook". Any means necessary. Including postponing election indefinitely if he can.

2) Foment race riots and militia violence if he doesn't win.

3) Eliminate presidential term limit if he retains power.

4) It gets worse, much worse, if it gets that far.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. Job? That's for peasants. He imagines his position is his right and just reward.

I have to point you to:
Taylor Swift to Trump: After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency,

Mahalo for this pic, Hermit.. & the link!

I'll be ready.. when I get to Heaven.

28. There go the waterworks...

sniff - Goldie -

[Hermit-The-Prog]

29. uh-oh, somebody else knew a Goldie

Our Goldie never met a stranger, tolerated everything kids did, and made sure no snakes were around when we went blackberry picking. She once shredded a 'possum for getting too close to her adopted goose.

[Cha]

11. "Golf" & Tweeting SHIT so that Twitter has to

post notices that it's not true.

Retweeted.. TY, hpd

[Best_man23]

14. We have not had a President since 12:01 PM January 20, 2017

I could come up with any of several hundred metaphors for what we have, but Lysol Von Clusterfuck and the word President will never be used together in my house.

[stage left]

22. + a million

I don't know what we have exactly, what we have had inflicted on us, but it's the worst ever.

17. That's the vein of thought - he doesn't understand leadership, he only focuses on himself

i disagree. he knows what nazi agenda he is pushing. he's like a power broker for out of power fascist groups from the last 100 years.

[GreenReaper]

18. Golf Uckyerself

Can someone whip up a photo of Trump Golfing and put Golf at the top and Uckyerself at the bottom. Thanks in advanced. I'm too old and trying to keep my job to do it myself.

[Skittles]

19. oh come on

it is common knowledge we have not had a real president since Obama

[SleeplessinSoCal]

20. "It" is starting a war with China.

Ian Bremmer, go to guy on China...

Oh and withdrawing from World Health Organization is another looming crisis by this team of ne'r-do-wells.

23. As Josh Marshall pointed out

He's a warlord, not a president. He leads a minority faction that is loud threatens violence when they don't get their way and uses his power to attempt to make others submit to his whim.

It's beyond obscene.

[LudwigPastorius]

24. Trump's job is to grind his axe.

He only wants to use the Bully Pulpit to...well, bully those he imagines have wronged him.

He’s actually worse than useless.

Not having an acting President would be a lot less damaging to our our country.

[bronxiteforever]

25. Kick and recommend. He is a spectator.

He is a reality show panelist. The show and the contest goes on around him. He is the exact opposite of Theodore Roosevelt’s “man in the arena”.Responsibility, empathy and leadership were never in his DNA.
He is who he has always been and it certainly isn’t this

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. He imagines his job is doing whatever he wants with no questions asked and no push back because

he's the pRezident and we're not.
