You still havent realized that the core of the Trump supporters are not the Republican establishment rather the people on the street. Trump opposed and insulted everyone in the Republican establishment yet he was winning

You think if its left to Republican Senators politicians and operative, Trump wont even be among the top 5. None of the former Republican president or presidential candidate supported him. Yet he won

Many of the blue collar Democratic voters in the Appalachian and midwest who have always voted democratic even voted Obama voted for Trump

Trump once told a mini gathering (back in the 90s) in one of the public shows he was invited, he said "the rich don't love me because I'm always in competition with them, the people that love me are the taxi drivers, the barbers and cleaners....."

Lol....he got owned, everyone is laughing at his stupidity.

the massive crowd for @realDonaldTrump at yesterday's rally shows just how out of touch the D.C. establishment is. #DrainTheSwamp MAGA

And that after the Democrats and Hillary Clinton out-spent Trump, she spent over 1 billion dollars - a record, and still lost?

Obama, as Trump put it in a tweet in 2011, “plays golf to escape work while America goes down the drain.” His last tweet on the subject came in the summer of 2016, when he was already the Republican nominee for president.

Were he to reach the White House, Trump said, he wouldn’t make the same mistake for which he’d been lambasting Obama since 2011. “I'm going to be working for you,” he told supporters in August 2016. “I'm not going to have time to go play golf.”

Now that he’s president, Trump frequently departs the White House and spends the weekend golfing at either his South Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, or his country club in the New Jersey suburb of Bedminster. The promise he’d made a year before was discarded so quickly, you have to wonder if he even remembers making it. Politico did the legwork: George W. Bush didn’t golf for the first five months of his presidency, while Obama stayed away from his beloved links for four months following his inauguration. Trump held out for all of two weeks. He has visited a golf club 40 times since taking office in January, according to the self-explanatory site Trump Golf Count, which estimates the forays have cost American taxpayers $55 million. Another Trump tracker, this one by The New York Times, finds that his visits to Trump-branded properties total 56 days, nearly a third of his time in office.

His many detractors see it differently. If the golf bothers them—and, judging by the number of websites devoted to chronicling Trump’s excursions, it does—it is only because they see it as symbolic of a lackadaisical approach to the presidency. “This is the laziest, most ignorant president in history,” says MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell. Sure, take MSNBC with a grain of nonpartisan salt, but all those who believe, as O’Donnell does, that Trump is the most ineffectual occupant of the Oval Office in the nation’s history cite, for one, his well-reported lack of involvement in congressional legislative efforts. They point to the numbers like doctors surveying grim lab results: only one solo press conference since his inauguration (he has held joint press conferences with foreign heads of state, after which he usually entertains questions from the press), and just a single foray west of the Mississippi since taking office (and that for a campaign rally). He’s visited neither Iraq nor Afghanistan.

In the first six months of his presidency, Trump found the time to send 1,029 tweets. They include accusations of Obama “tapping” Trump Tower, juvenile taunts hurled at North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, warmed-over insinuations about the Clintons cribbed from Fox News, complaints about Attorney General Jeff Sessions, complaints about “the Republicans” and endless laments about “fake news,” many of them followed by assertions that are comically untrue.

Instead, he is playing golf and tweeting anti-CNN wrestling memes. When the weekend concludes, Trump returns to the D.C. swamp with all the enthusiasm of an office lackey slouching toward his cubicle on Monday morning. Only six months in, he seems “a most unhappy warrior,” in the words of Trump biographer and CNN commentator Michael D’Antonio. The scowl that haunts his face, the monotone he uses to deliver official pronouncements: These suggest a second-term lame duck dreaming of a lucrative post-Washington book deal.These should have been sunnier times. Trump got the biggest political victory imaginable last November, stopping Hillary Clinton’s “inevitable” coronation. Only he didn’t quite realize that the campaign was the beginning of the hard work, not the end. That his supporters would repeat back something he’d said in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, or Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, two years ago, and ask him if he’d meant it about prosecuting Clinton or making Mexico pay for a border wall.So he sits and stews, like Al Bundy, the shoe-selling protagonist of Married ... With Children, the sitcom of roiling white discontent that predicted Trump better than any political scientist or pundit. Unsatisfying job, ungrateful children, all around him a nation in decline. Bundy dreams of the days when he was a high school football star; Trump, of his election-night romp through the Upper Midwest.

Overwhelmed and Frustrated

Two days before the presidential inauguration, Trump tweeted a picture of himself seated at a desk, pen hovering above a stack of papers. On his face was the faraway look of a great man lost in deep thought: Pericles pondering the Athenian dead, Churchill surveying a blitzkrieged London. The accompanying text revealed that the president-elect was composing his inaugural address at the Mar-a-Lago resort, which he’d already rebranded “the Winter White House.”

The tweet was supposed to show leadership at work, but it instead revealed the lengths to which Trump will go to foster the image of diligent leadership. It didn’t take a team of CIA digital forensicists to figure out that the Spanish tile wall behind Trump in the photograph matched the one in the reception area at Mar-a-Lago. A photograph soon surfaced of a young woman at the very same desk, looking like she was ready to confirm your dinner reservation. Further scrutiny—that is, clicking a magnifying glass icon to zoom in—revealed that the papers on the desk were seemingly blank, while the writing instrument in Trump’s hand appeared to be a Sharpie, not especially useful for writing out a lengthy speech. Wanting to look like a head of state, Trump instead ended up looking like a concierge-in-training.

That wasn’t Trump’s first lesson in the perils of faking it, or his last. His campaign was the most engrossing spectacle in the history of American politics, so terrifyingly entertaining that many failed to grasp its hold on the public until the returns from Florida and North Carolina started to come in on November 8. Trump’s presidency, however, has been a listless sequel, its leading man seemingly no longer interested in his role.

It may be that Trump is overwhelmed. When I was training to become a teacher, veteran educators said students would use boredom to mask their inability to do the work. Is that what’s happening here? Well, to use a Trumpian construction, some people are saying so. One of those people is Donald Trump. In late April, the president confessed that he was both overwhelmed and frustrated. “I loved my previous life,” he said. “I had so many things going. This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.” That may be the most remarkable admission ever made by a sitting American president. Clinton’s infidelities, Nixon’s paranoia: Those were the usual failings of the powerful. [b]But a disdain for power because wielding power is harder than pretending to wield power in a reality television series? [/b]That is Al Bundy coming home from another miserable day of work at the New Market Mall, cracking open a beer and wondering when his nightmare of shoe-selling drudgery will end.

Trump’s foray into politics would have been impossible without The Apprentice, which introduced him to Middle America, the onetime King of Debt reborn as a capable chief executive both ruthless and uncannily perceptive. But that was also an illusion, as we were recently reminded by Clay Aiken, the singer and onetime Celebrity Apprentice contestant. On a podcast last month, Aiken revealed that Trump wielded the show’s famous slogan—“You’re fired!”—at the instruction of others. The great leader of men was, at least in Aiken’s telling, a puppet. “The show’s producers from NBC made those calls,” explained a report in The Washington Post, “giving Trump instructions through a teleprompter on his desk that looked like a phone.”

Newsweek released the cover of its new issue Thursday night, which depicts the president of the United States as a lazy, slovenly, junk-food-eating couch potato, tuned out and bored to the world around him. The cover immediately caused a wave of “ooooos” across the internet, because it’s the most accurate — and deeply troubling – portrayal of POTUS yet: It’s not that he’s even being purposefully evil, he’s just too lazy to be bothered to take this seriously, or study up on anything at all that isn’t on Fox News (as we learned again Thursday). He is the ugly American we always heard about.

The cover hammers him for “six months in office, 40 days at golf clubs [soon to be more] and ZERO pieces of major legislation.”

The accompanying story paints a picture of a man “overwhelmed and frustrated” by the office, who didn’t realize his surprise victory in the Electoral College (but overwhelming loss in the popular vote) was just the beginning of the hard work, not the end of it:

So he sits and stews, like Al Bundy, the shoe-selling protagonist of Married … With Children, the sitcom of roiling white discontent that predicted Trump better than any political scientist or pundit. Unsatisfying job, ungrateful children, all around him a nation in decline. Bundy dreams of the days when he was a high school football star; Trump, of his election-night romp through the Upper Midwest.

This is a bit unfair to Al Bundy, who at least actually accomplished something with his own merit (four touchdowns in a single game!), who had better taste in television shows and whose purposefully misogynist group No Ma’am, seems harmless compared to the Trump administration (though they may have similar views on Hillary Clinton).

“Both the president and the shoe salesman are driven by their unreasonable demands and unsoothable grievances to the couch,” Newsweek writes, “where they sit in front of the television, stewing.”

Trump, America's Boy King: Golf and Television Won't Make America Great Again

obixcel:
A hard working President that loves his Country and does everything for and in its interest, yet deemed "lazy" by deluded liberal fools isn't surprising though. Ride on with the hate. You can continue barking at him but can't bite and can't change anything.

happney65:
Thought he said he would work so hard he would win for you,you would grow tired of winning..Isnt it?He hasnt being able to make any achievement except make he dey make mouth..Now he is going on a 17days vacation in just 6months..6months in he's administration..He said he wont go golfing,yet he has played golf more times than Obama did in he's first term..

You will keep on being scammed and duped.

obixcel:
My brother, hate all you want, He's winning and he's doing most of what he campaigned on. He's been a workaholic from day one despite little support from his fellow Republicans in Congress, and therefore deserves his vacation. Go and find something else to do instead of whinning about nothing.

President Trump criticized former president Barack Obama for golfing too often. Now the White House is defending his own frequent outings. (Thomas Johnson/The Washington Post) In mid-August 2011, then-non-politician Donald Trump levied a critique of President Barack Obama. This was one of dozens of tweets criticizing Obama for playing golf. (Here’s another classic.)

It was one of a handful that also dinged Obama for taking a vacation. On the campaign trail, Trump was adamant: He would rarely play golf — “I’m not going to have time to go play golf,” he once said — and he certainly wasn’t going to take a lot of vacation. (“There’s just so much to be done,” he told “60 Minutes,” “so I don’t think we’ll be very big on vacations.”)

On Friday, Trump will head to his golf course in Bedminster, N.J., for a 17-day vacation. That’s nearly twice as long as the vacation Obama took in August during his first year in office, when he went to Martha’s Vineyard. In 2010, Factcheck.org’s D’Angelo Gore figured that the Vineyard trip was Obama’s second that month, including a weekend trip to Arizona and Colorado during which Obama and his family visited the Grand Canyon. Obama did some work while he was there, but he made time for recreation, too, including fly-fishing.

By Gore’s count, those were the second and third vacations of Obama’s presidency, counting a four-day trip to the family’s home in Chicago for Valentine’s Day. If trips like that count — brief getaways to a personal property to recharge — then Trump has taken a lot of vacation. Before this month, Trump had made 11 such trips to his properties in Palm Beach and New Jersey. On occasion, he would wrap in some work, as Obama did when he was out West. Often, though, he didn’t. (He also spent one weekend in June at Camp David, Md.)

By our count, by the end of August, Trump will have spent all or part of 53 days in office at leisure, compared with 15 days for Obama through August 2009. What’s more, Trump will have played at least 33 rounds of golf, nearly double Obama’s 17 rounds — and that’s even before Trump gets to his vacation spot, an actual golf course. There’s certainly subjectivity to this. Perhaps you don’t view Trump’s trips to Mar-a-Lago as vacations. Perhaps you don’t count partial days. Perhaps you have another metric you would like to use. Fair enough. For a presidential candidate who pledged to take little vacation and play next to no golf, though, the apples-to-apples comparison above is striking. Especially given Trump’s habit of laying down markers that he himself is likely to surpass.
