He went off script and it was all about himself and his ego again.

Trump Breaks Down During Press Conference And Complains That All He Does Is Work


http://www.politicususa.com/2017/09/26/trump-breaks-press-conference-complains-work.html

At one point during a joint press conference at the White House, Donald Trump, who takes nearly every weekend off, complained about how all he ever does is work as president.

Video:

Trump was asked if he was preoccupied with the NFL. He answered, “Well, I wasn’t preoccupied with the NFL. I was ashamed of what was taking place because to me I think that was a very important moment. I don’t think you can disrespect our country, our flag, our national anthem. To me, the NFL situation is a very important situation. I’ve heard that before about was I preoccupied, not at all, not at all. I have plenty of time on my hands. All I do is work, and to be honest with you, that’s an important function of working. It’s called respect for our country.”

Donald Trump has spent three times more days on vacation this year than Obama did during his first year in office. Trump has played golf 60 times in his eight-month presidency. Trump also spends hours a day watching cable news.

The President apparently believes that tweeting is work, and that rambling about NFL ratings on Twitter is part of his job. ....................

1. He should resign and go

back to his old, crappy, lazy and worthless life. Get on with it, GO! Don't let the door smack his substantial ass on his way out.

[monmouth4]

2. I think he thought it would be one big photo-op after another and it would be so easy because Obama

made it look that way. Dang Obama...It's his fault.

[trof]

23. And the Marine band playing 'Hail to the Chief' every time he walked into room.

And a KFC franchise in the White House kitchen.
Pore ol' Donnie Two-Scoops. It ain't all skittles and beer, is it fella?

[GoCubsGo]

63. Too bad it ain't all Skittles and beer.

At least we'd know someone would be kicking his ass.

[trof]

72. Roger that.

[JI7]

59. he saw the love that Obama got and thought it was just because he was President

and that someone like him(trump) who is white and superior to Obama who is black would be able to get even more of it since he would deserve more.

we don't see presidents or most politicians or most people who work when they do all the "boring" stuff.

the bin laden raid wasn't just the special announcement and telling the generals what to do. it involved discussions before which we don't see.

[dalton99a]

3. Yeah, he works so hard

[renate]

33. I literally cannot tell or even guess whether that is real or fake

I just can't believe how different things are from a year ago.

[Dave Starsky]

64. It's 100% real.

Strange times, we live in.

[GallopingGhost]

4. Poor tired, overworked lil' snowflake. No stamina.

Let's all shout it together now- WHO KNEW BEING PRESIDENT COULD BE SO HARD???

[Angry Dragon]

5. I am getting a Trump Headache

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. ....

[OldHippieChick]

7. Right before he said "All I do is work ..." , he said

"I have plenty of time on my hands". Which is it? I would guess the latter (of the quotes). He has too much time on his hands and is obviously not working.

[dalton99a]

9. Yep, such an idiot

[Baconator]

28. I heard it and was like...

WTF...

Then he went on an NFL rant about how they were disrespecting the military and I started shouting at my radio (while in my military uniform) and turned it off.

rabble rabble I say...

[catbyte]

35. Thank you for your service, Baconator, and I'm so sorry you have that toxic monster

for a Commander in Chief.

[Control-Z]

8. And I just heard him go off

on another tirade about how all the presidents before him left such a mess for him. I believe it was in reference to NK.

It's the fucking job he signed up for. The one that he colluded with Russians to steal from Hillary. The filthy, fucking little maggot.

Crap. I'm becoming an asshole because of him. I never used swear like this.

[3catwoman3]

48. My use of, shall we say, more "colorful"...

...vocabulary has definitely increased since election night. I try to restrict it to when I am in the car by myself, or here on DU, where no no one seems to mind.

I detest that !@#$%^&*() creep.

[smirkymonkey]

10. He doesn't even know what work is!

He thinks shooting off his fat anus mouth is working. He is the laziest person ever to occupy the office of the presidency - by far. He golfs, he tweets, he watches cable news, he eats junk food - and that's pretty much all he does. He doesn't understand anything about the job he is supposed to be doing, so how could he possibly contribute anything meaningful. Even if he tried, he would risk being exposed for the total dumb-ass that he really is. .

[tblue37]

38. Your list of how he spends his time is almost identical to the list

I posted earlier: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=1875301

All he does is golf, watch TV, tweet, and eat junk food.

[politicaljunkie41910]

54. It was reported that he used to just sit around the Oval Office and gossip with all the people who

just hung around in there, like a modern day Frat Party. The new chief of staff ran them all office though, including Amarossa who they said was the biggest gossip. Now they say that Trump wants them back. He misses everybody just hanging out in the Oval Office. We know he doesn't do any preparation work for anything. Doesn't like his Daily Briefings and mostly passes on them. We know he doesn't read anything because he's dumber than a doorknob. He probably couldn't even find North Korea on a map.

[ecstatic]

61. Lol! nt

[Denzil_DC]

11. "I have plenty of time on my hands. ...

All I do is work ..."

That there pivot point is where what passes for Trump's brain caught up with his mouth for a moment and realized he'd just implied he had nothing better to do than stir shit on Twitter, so OOPS time to cover his ass and sound busy.

[greyl]

45. Yep. nt

[doc03]

12. I hope his miserable heart explodes. nt

[KY_EnviroGuy]

13. Read a story about President Obama last year....

...but can't find the notes.

The article clearly described the dedication and hard work the man committed to his job. If I recall, it was not unusual for him to work well into the night almost every night after some family time, and sometimes past midnight. His aides commented he would often call them late at night to discuss important issues of the day.

If anyone finds that article, please post it. The last year has been so tumultuous, my CRS is now worse. I can't recall where I read it.

I miss my REAL President.

[Sunlei]

18. just look at the white house Obama archives. Obama did more work in a day-takes trump MONTHS.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

56. Thanks, w/question:

Are those archives buried somewhere in the White House web site, or on Obama's site?

[Sunlei]

69. The Obama white houseDOTgov. website is archived forever online, including all global warming &

every daily press questions including videos, everything for entire eight years- here is a link

https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/

[KY_EnviroGuy]

71. Thanks, Sunlei - Definitely bookmark and study.

May bring me to tears of nostalgia, though.

[Sunlei]

70. here is link to https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/

https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/

[BlancheSplanchnik]

55. ❤️❤️❤️

my President, I miss him too.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

57. Would love to meet him someday! n/t

[malaise]

14. Why has no one in the media raised his draft dodging history?

[Sunlei]

20. they did, media even raised child assault & fraud U. Republicans supported that sick-man anyway.

[ananda]

15. Doesn't he play golf a lot?

That's such hard work.

[FuzzyRabbit]

41. Yeah. And when he does he cheats.

Six things we learned from SI's in-depth look at 'First Golfer' President Trump

Here's what SI found: "Trump will sometimes respond to a shot he duffed by simply playing a second ball and carrying on as if the first shot never happened. In the parlance of the game, Trump takes floating mulligans, usually more than one during a round. Because of them it is impossible to say what he has actually shot on any given day, according to 18 people who have teed it up with Trump over the last decade, including SI senior writer Michael Bamberger, who has done so nine times."

[Dave Starsky]

66. This is surprising, given his flawless technique.

If Trump is obviously no good at the game, and he doesn't care to improve, then why does he keep playing it so compulsively? I would think one would get bored really quickly doing that.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Borowitz?

[Sunlei]

17. Get to work lazyass. Can't even finish the damn transition with the ENTIRE Republican party helping.

[jalan48]

19. Sounds like High School monitor would be a better fit for his skill set.

[mrmpa]

29. No he couldn't do that............

my High School Study Hall Monitor, Sister Honoria would have kicked his ass. She was all of about 4' 11" taught Latin and German & knew everything that was going on.

[groundloop]

21. "All I do is work, and to be honest with you, thats an important function of working" ???????

That word salad is worthy of a former VP candidate and half-term governor of Alaska. She'd be very proud of Don-the-Con.

[Aviation Pro]

22. I would read the article....

...but I've got to take a big, ole Trump.

[lastlib]

42. (take an extra roll of TP*.....)

(*Trump paper)

[HipChick]

24. What a waste of taxpayers money

[secondwind]

25. What he said didn't even make any sense

[riversedge]

31. His sentence structure is deteriorating--esp. when he 'thinks'

[TheBlackAdder]

26. "Work! Work! Work! Work! Work!" Gee, he sounds like a racist philandering incompetent politician.

.

Where have I heard that before?



.

[MrPurple]

27. I'd pay serious money to see a reporter follow up by asking if his bone spurs were still painful

[Grammy23]

53. I would pay to see that, too. But it would have to be someone ready to retire

or never cover tRump again. As soon as tRump got over sputtering and stammering, he would have that person ejected and banned. tRump probably would have to think about WHY he was being asked about his bone spurs. Jackass....

[JonLP24]

30. The sell out talking about respect for our country

Maybe he should tell his own campaign this.

[Blue_true]

32. The guy is unhinged.

I just hope we get out of this alive.

[Eliot Rosewater]

34. In fairness, until now he has never worked a day in his life, not a half day, not a quarter of a day

He has people who know what they are doing, sort of, run every aspect of any business he has not run into the ground.

He never engages in actual business matters, he doesnt have a clue what they are.

As to working, he really does think tweeting his racist views is work.

[WoonTars]

36. Is it bad that when i hear that phrase in that context all i can think of is Mel Brooks..

...as the crooked, inept Governor in 'Blazing Saddles'?

What a pathetic, whiney little man-baby he is..

[Achilleaze]

37. POWER WHINER - Whiney republican draft-dodging dotards get no sympathy

Last edited Wed Sep 27, 2017, 06:30 AM - Edit history (1)

Has America - or the world - ever had such a prominent whine baby?

The republicans, with russian mob help, have become the Poopyhead Party of Pissypants Power Whiners

[thegoose]

39. The fucker hasn't accomplished anything positive

If the economy is chugging along it has nothing to do with him. He hasn't recently"bought" jobs back from American manufacturers that went overseas anyhow, has he? He hasn't passed health care reform, which nobody wants. He hasn't passed massive tax cuts for his rich fuckbuddies.

But he has dragged America's image into the toilet in less than a year. He's created hatred and divisiveness in this country in less that a year. And he's brought us to the brink of nuclear war in less than a year.

Fuck you, you orange pustule. You need to be removed now.

[Jopin Klobe]

40. "I have plenty of time on my hands. All I do is work ..." ...

... WHAT? ...

[TomSlick]

43. Oliver Cromwell said it well.

Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!

[angrychair]

44. W. T. Serious. F.

“All I do is work, and to be honest with you, that’s an important function of working.”

I just died, my head exploded. Thank you for your thoughts and concerns. Instead of flowers please contribute to your local Democratic candidate.

[red dog 1]

46. K&R...Thanks for posting

"I have plenty of time on my hands..All I do is work." ...Donald Trump


"Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.".....George Orwell (1984)

[LuckyCharms]

47. Wow. I really hate to say this...

but I'm starting to think that Trump might be stupid.

[RainCaster]

49. "It's called LOSING respect for our country"

Because that's all this a-hole has done.

[icymist]

50. Steve Colbert weighs in:

Link to tweet

I need to watch him tonight!

[Beartracks]

51. Huh? When?

[sarcasmo]

52. Follow up question.

How was golf this weekend?

[ATL Ebony]

58. Well, he was partially right . . .

"I've got plenty of time on my hands" 'because all I ever do is GOLF instead of work'. There I fixed it for him.

[Orrex]

60. I'm sure that we don't appreciate the effort that Trump puts in every day

It takes a lot of hard work to make him appeal remotely human and vaguely competent. It must be exhausting!

[DFW]

62. Since he took office, he's taken more time off than I have

I've done the country far less damage, too, and for a lower salary. Wanna trade places, Donnie Boy?

I didn't think so.

[Vinca]

65. Don hasn't done a day's work in his entire lifetime.

If you're a brilliant con artist - which he is - you don't work, but you end up rich anyway.

[Orsino]

67. He probably is working harder than he ever has in his life...

...up to an hour a day signing things written by his handlers, meetings where he nods a lot or injects irrelevancies, periodic rants at his staff. That sort of thing.

He really wants to be back in his Tower, or out on the "campaign" trail begging for cheers.

[oberliner]

68. Headline is a lie

He didn't "break down" in any way.
