I’m pretty sure I don’t need to remind anyne that there is no Nobel Prize for journalism. Trump is obsessed with it because they gave it to Obama. He even strongarmed the japanese Prime Minister to nominate him for one.
That is ridiculous, of course. The man watches more cable TV than I do and I’m a political blogger. Trump thinks that watching Fox and Friends is a form of work. Also rallies and golf. Because it’s all he knows how to do.
This December story about Trump’s visits to his properties from tells the tale:
On average, he visits a Trump property on about 30 percent of the days in a month, making this month (when he will have spent more than 40 percent of days at a Trump property) above average.
As for being the hardest working president ever:
He’s also done nearly 100 feel-good rallies, most of them unconnected to elections. Even during the pandemic he found time to hold 8 rallies from January 28th all the way up to the last one in the second week of March.
But you know all that.
What we are seeing is Donald Trump having a very, very, very bad day and not having the grace or maturity to keep it to himself. He needs feedback from the Death Cult, telling him how great he is just to get through the afternoon.
It would be sad if it weren’t so disturbing.
