“When the term executive time is used, I am generally working, not relaxing. In fact, I probably work more hours than almost any past president.”
—Donald Trump tweet, Feb. 10, 2019. (Cost to taxpayers for Trump’s golf outings: $127 million as of Feb. 2, 2020.)
If any President worked less it is not in evidence. Tweeting insults at one’s enemies and/or bragging about one’s self does not equal work, nor does watching television or speaking at campaign rallies.
I am sure he comes up with the most wonderfully excellent extraordinary policy ideas while he is out on his golf courses. We cannot understand because we do not have the excellent education, best staff members and unbelievably huge IQ of our dear leader.
Stephen, Every second of the day is taken by Trump to castigate anyone who does not worship him and to extol his own self. That is all explained by the fact that Trump is a sociopath. Much to my satisfaction I learned of new book by Dr. Lance Dodes, who is a Harvard Professor Psychiatry,”The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump:27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.
I am sure it will be interesting .

Dr. Buindo, I have read some of these assessments of Donald Trump and they seem to be very conclusive. The problem is how did American come to have this obviously mentally dysfunctional man as president and how did this Republican Party come to give him more power than has ever been given any president. The combination seems deadly for America and probably the majority of Americans know this…just the fact that he has been ‘normalized” by conservative media and this Republican Party is beyond my wildest beliefs. Thank you for your reference. Everyone should read up on this. It is true. However, even a non-professional that just observes Trump’s tweets & rally rants knows that he is not normal in any sense and is becoming more and more openly threatening.
