That matches the picture, (got to erase it somehow) I have of him.

He doesn't work and never has unless you count the amount of effort he puts into playing his character and being a confidence man.

You talk about a slacker. King of Slack would be a good title. You just tell other people what to do and throw hissy fits.

Do we really need anybody to back this up ? We all know that is exactly what he does.

I would be more shocked it he pretended to work for the country on one day, in the whole four years.

Too much attention is given to such kind of news. Trump reacts to this and calls fake news.
I wonder what would happen if nobody paid attention to such things.

Imagine the damage he could do if he thought about it. We call him "Hitler," and it's true-- it's a good comparison politically- but, because he is an intellectually and physically lazy fucker, he has neutered himself. Pence is no Himmler either, because he is terrified of women.

The weaknesses of those two clowns is what is going to save the US from all out fascism. The racists are being forced back under the rocks they have hidden under since 1945. Life is going to get better.

Sources: Fire and Fury and the NYT (fairly recently, too, although it added in that he spends one hour a day on the phone with governors.)

He also goes to bed very early (around six pm) to watch Fox News, eat and use an unsecured cellular phone to call "friends."
