when does tRUMP ever work? I'm serious, when?

instead, he's ...

-wasting critical time of our legislators, his own administration, and the American people who has to deal w/ his nonsense;

-wasting way too much time on Tweeting, instead of picking up the damn phone and actually talking to people constructively;

-and even when he's on the phone, he spews nonsense, just like the two calls to Mexico and Australia, begging them to pay for a wall, or not send refugees because he'll look bad...Pathetic;

-he's wasting time watching TV (god, how much TV does he watch?);

-he wasting time golfing (god, how much golf has he played already this year?);

-he's running around putting out he's own brush fires (or rather, pouring more gasoline onto the fires he's ignited w/ his mouth);

-he's figuring out the next group of folks to insult, besides the democrats, former POWs, urban regions, transgendered persons, women, blacks, gays, Mexicans, Australians, Mueller, god, and the list goes on and on;

-etc.;

So, with the above list (and I've haven't listed near all of them), when does he really work for the American people? Measurements of his so called job achievements already are zip, zero, nada, zilch.
He's going to have to change his ink pens that have been on stand by to sign stuff...the ink is drying out, from not being used. All of his behavior is that of a typical bully, every bit of it. The best thing to do in dealing with a bully is to ignore them.

However, I'd have to admit that I enjoy the mocking and making fun of tRUMP immensely...

This is already happening...our legislators have blocked him from recess appointments while they are out of the office during recess, blocked his really bad attempts to take away health care, ignored his first budget totally, caused John McCain to declare that the senate was a separate and equal institution apart from the executive branch (in effect, declaring their independence) etc. etc. etc.

TRUMP is...and is now the worst president ever, in our history...SAD!

All of these positive steps are due to all of our combined voices on DU, Wash Post, NYT, CNN, and numerous other outlets not mentioned here...as well as unfortunately, the tRUMPs' own tweets...every time he tweets, we get more votes for our side...so let him keep tweeting...he's digging his own hole, after all, there has been a court that judged his pathetic tweets to be admissible in court...

even if he did work it would not be good for America or the average citizen. So maybe it is a good thing he is not "working". Also,to him and I guess many of the Republicans, the things he does seems like work. I don't think most of them really know what putting in an eight hour day of back breaking work is like.

The way he talked about health care during the campaign was all lies. That would be the only thing I can think of that he could work on that would be good.

Working on dismantling environmental protections and anything that Obama worked for seems to be his "to do" list. And I don't want to see any work really done on those things!

Trump keeps crowing about the how great the stock market is doing....that seems to be his claim to fame...my husband watches Fox so I'm forced to hear about how GREAT the economy is doing ALL because of Trump (?).....how everyone's spending confidence is UP...and all the jobs that are being created, and blah, blah, blah...that channel is just one big advertisement for Trump!

...what you mean by working or more likely, for whom.

If it is working for America and Americans, I would say around the 25th hour. The previous 24H, he's too busy struggling with lawyers, media, twitters, courts, promoting his "brand", taking specific showers, develop hands muscles with some grab....


25th hour does not exist? Well, then...never.

Shameful, about tRUMP's work ethics...if he even works at what he considers work (swinging a golf club, grabbing some P?)...considering that it is all of us pulling together as Americans that made this country great...no one person can claim America's greatness, and if they do, they are sadly mistaken.

No one else has done more for this country then us...period. Proud to be among fellow DUers and add my small voice to yours.

I've never heard anyone whine so much as tRUMP, never. Nixon, back in his day, never whined this much...at least Nixon had the dignity to resign...

tRUMP and his fellow tRUMPers are disgraceful to the values that this great country of ours stands for. Period. I am calling these folks disgraceful for they ignored everything that is wrong about tRUMP and still voted for this worthless piece of (you fill the blank)...

Thanks for remarks...really to the point and cheers me up...
