WH reporters question reveals an ominous truth: What is Trump actually doing all day?

Donald Trump's schedule has been even lighter than usual these days, which caused one reporter to bluntly ask Sean Spicer, "What is he actually doing all day long?" Spicer didn't have much to offer in response.

One of the many deleterious features of Donald Trump’s time in office has been his leisurely schedule of what can loosely be described as “work,” consisting largely of ornamental meetings, phone calls, and photo ops that occasionally intrude on golf and dinner. And of course, hours of watching TV.

Even for Trump, though, his recent schedules have been wafer thin, and journalists are beginning to point this out.

<snip>

What we do know of Trump’s activities is not good. He spent at least part of his day Tuesday firing FBI Director James Comey and then watching — and mocking — reactions on TV. The only event he has scheduled for Wednesday is a closed-press meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, perhaps so they can trade Comey jokes.

Trump has also found lots of time to tweet juvenile propaganda aimed at quashing conerns over his firing of Comey.

I will say, though, that if he does get taken down, it should prove to be the most epic takedown, of all takedowns, of all time.

Do it!

he told him the job consisted of being in charge of foreign and domestic policy. Trump would just do the ceremonial stuff. That's what he's doing now. He just wants to be CEO.

If he is goofing off, we are not at war with North Korea.

tRump has been blowing up at McMaster for disloyalty.

He blew up at Comey for the same thing and fired him in a particularly classless ugly way.

worked out to let him be a contributor to Fox, a fund-raiser for the Republicans (rallies) and other things that he would enjoy doing, he will quite the Presidency so fast your head will spin. I'm not sure what face-saving excuse he would use, but if he knew the other "fun things" were waiting for him, he will find a way.
