www.mediaite.com Trump Accuses Federal Workers of ‘Playing Golf’ After He Spent the Last Three Weekdays at His Golf Courses

President Donald Trump demanded federal employees who have been working remotely "show up" in person Wednesday amid a week in which he visited the golf course three times and attended a NASCAR race. Trump shared his message for workers from Florida after visiting the Trump National Doral Miami earli...

Obviously the pattern has always been whatever he accuses other people of being is what he is himself, so when are we going to just call him what he calls other people? A lying, blood poisoning, shifty, ugly, authoritarian, with low IQ, tears in his sleepy eyes, bitch. All sourcable, although I can't be bothered.

FFS, everyone remember:
Every single word that falls out of Trump's mouth is an admission of personal guilt.
He's completely unable to keep something to himself
- There is an aspect to that making it simplier in my eyes. Most cases of projection are a sign of being completely unaware of the world around them, other people's experiences, lack of interest and empathy. Trumps idea of slacking off is rooted in his own leisure routines because he hasn't talked with average people in a long while if at all. There's likely not that much of intent, not in his ramblings, but a genuine lack of touch. He's probably thinking that there are poor golf courses for poor people for casual networking like he does. You know, where they brag about their poor peoples deals, investments and tax dodging. He isn't a good liar and in his unscripted rants he is showing what he actually thinks. Rephrasing the old saying, if you are Trump, everyone looks like Trumps.
  It's not like I excuse him or think he'd do better if he'd know his shit. It's just a common occurence that career politicians usually get caught on. My own dictator couldn't imagine that the average monthly wage isn't in 7 figures because he usually sat in his bunker since COVID and forgot what money even are.
  
  Projection
- He keeps everything he can get his greedy little hands on to himself. And he accuses others of every single one of his crimes. He doesn't care if you believe it, only that it will help his supporters disbelieve the truth about him

every accusation is an admission
- Take the upvote. You beat me to it.
  
  I’m actually just about to tee off I’ll pick it up when I get back ⛳️

It's like he has a team of people who's only job is to look for ways he can make himself look ridiculous. I couldn't look this stupid if it was my full-time job.

But I don’t. I have never played golf. I have no desire to play golf. I never played golf while working remotely…I never even thought about it.
This is insulting - not because he’s saying I’m lazy and don’t do my work, but because he thinks I would play golf.
If I wanted to be lazy and not do work while being remote, I would play video games like other civilized people. I have some self respect.
- Why would I spend a ton of money to go out in public and play golf, when I can stay at home keeping that Teams icon green while playing videogames and watching mid-week Europa League fixtures?
  Source: currently home sick, but feeling good enough to clock a few hours of required training and data backups.
  
  It is the absolute truth when I say to you that the green Teams icon is one of the highlights of switching my work machine to Linux.
  Once we got the clear from IT to dual boot (just had to match the hostnames to our Dell Service Tags so they could still identify the developer PCs on the network), Teams became a webpage in Firefox just like the rest of the Microsoft applications. So even when we are all in the office, it is totally normal for somebody to show as being idle for the last 10 minutes or the last hour.
  There's one guy in another country (team is split between two continents) that has clearly set it up so that he's green 24/7, but everybody else is mostly "idle" because we aren't doing things in the Teams browser tab. It's nice to just not worry about it, especially on days I work from home.
  
  You just reminded me that I have to do my annual sexual harassment training. God damn it 😩

- Right what makes Trump think I play golf. Maybe the occasional putt putt. But golf nah.
  
  VR mini golf is where it's at. Hehe. There is a course on walkabout mini golf that is officially themed to the movie "the labyrinth", some pretty crazy holes on that one, especially when you get to the MC Escher stairs scene with the baby. It's fun trying to hit the ball from a completely different perspective. Not to mention all the other courses that are also awesome. There are a bunch of free built-in ones, but special licensed ones like that, of course, are DLC. But the DLC courses are only like 3 bucks, so kinda whatever. Playing each course once is more than worth 3 dollars, let alone if you are gonna play them a few times. Only the host of the game needs to own the course, so it doesn't fragment up the user base.

First sitting president to ever waste his time going to the fucking super bowl.
He's going to Daytona or whatever too. The guy is a complete goldbrick.
- First sitting president to ever waste his time going to the fucking super bowl.
  I mean, Presidents have been going to sporting events practically since they were invented. The Seventh Inning Stretch came out of Calvin Coolidge showing up incredibly late to a baseball game. It's crazy for someone who needs the security detail of a President to get into and out of a location as insecure as stadium box seats. But that's more a logistical hurdle than a cultural one.
  Its the genocide I object to. Its the concentration camps on the border and the bombs dropped across the Middle East. Its the gutting of health care and mass transit and financial regulations I find disconcerting. Going to the Super Bowl is the least bad thing Trump's done since taking office.
  
  It's the hypocrisy that's being pointed out here. We are being flooded with hypocrisy and dishonesty. Your priorities are of course in order, but we shouldn't become numb to the hypocrisy that was the hallmark of tyrannical monarchs.
  
  The point is that this guy is the asshole at your job talking shit all day about how nobody else is working when they're never fucking working. That's what the story is pointing at.
  I can -- and do -- hate the guy for other reasons, but he's a fucking goldbricker pretending that nobody else is doing their job.

Does anyone remember how much golf trump played during his first term? I seem to recall it being a lot, like maybe more than any other president.
- He had more unscheduled time per day than any other president along with:
  Trump visited a Trump Organization property on 428 (nearly one in three) of the 1,461 days of his presidency and is estimated to have played 261 rounds of golf, one every 5.6 days.
  
  I honestly thought it was more golf, but he might just not be that athletic.
- If I recall correctly, it was literally a full year of his "presidency."
  
  I meant to reply to you with this comment. https://sopuli.xyz/comment/14793507
- I'm always very confused by the appeal of golf. I still don't get it.
- 261 rounds across a single term, but not more than any other president. Woodrow Wilson played somewhere around 1000-1200 games according to different sources I read. Still, it's definitely worth noting that Trump's golfing this term has already cost more than some of Musk's cullings, to the tune of around $10.7 million.
- 320days for his 4-year term, and people were accusing obama did more. and yes hes cheating at most of them anyways. there was interceding period where trump did nothing after his major tax cuts, not until the pandemic hit, where hes was confirming judges left and right.
- The bigger problem was the piece of shit profiting off of it.
- There's a great website here. The information you're looking for is at the bottom.

Every accusation is an admission with these guys
- Honestly his accusations should be court admissible evidence at this point

For this term.
For the previous term
another for 2016 term
- Someone needs to make a small, printer-friendly version of this that could be printed on stickers and posted on supermarket shelves.
- Someone should plot the price of things (eggs, gas, the Big Mac) against the (date-referenced) count of times he played golf.

I can never tell reality from the onion anymore.

same thing, same stories as 4 years ago, and even after over a million covid dead from this fucking asshole's inept pandemic response, young democrats didn't vote, stupidest shit i've ever seen in my life
- The moron brigade has decided to blame COVID on Biden instead, since he was President during the worst of it.
  Which is the mental equivalent of blaming the firefighters who spent four hours trying to save your house from burning down, instead of the arsonist who spent four minutes starting the fire.
  
  Which in itself is dumb because Trump was president that first covid year (2020), which was the worst of it!
- ::HomerMeme::
  Stupidest shit you've seen so far!
  
  I think this is going to kill most of us, so, not sure if there's a future where anything beats this ever

Satire is dead.

Not only is it projection, as usual, it's such rich out of touch stuff. Tennis and golf are very much rich people people recreation (tennis a little less so)

Projection, again? They would never...

Golf is not for the peasants!

Wii Golf, maybe.
