The recent report from Axios suggesting that President Donald Trump is the laziest American head of state in modern history has greatly angered Trump, who is said to be looking for the White House staffer that leaked his personal schedule which shows hours each day of “executive time” which he devotes to watch cable news, tweeting, and calling friends.
Though it took a few days, the president has finally weighed in on the matter, taking to Twitter Sunday afternoon and angrily denying that he’s a lazy bum:
The media was able to get my work schedule, something very easy to do, but it should have been reported as a positive, not negative. 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…..

….The fact is, when I took over as President, our Country was a mess. Depleted Military, Endless Wars, a potential War with North Korea, V.A., High Taxes & too many Regulations, Border, Immigration & HealthCare problems, & much more. I had no choice but to work very long hours!

As usual, Trump’s assertion is so ridiculous that it’s laughable. This is a man who has golfed more than any president in history, doesn’t get to the office until 11 each morning, and is usually back in the residence before 5 p.m. Even bankers work longer hours than he does.
Twitter responded to the president’s claims with hilarious clarity:
You watch TV, eat McDonalds, and Tweet. You work less than seven year olds because they have to go to school.

Military spending was at an all time high before you. You only pulled us out of one country (newer war). NK is still developing missles. You borrowed an additional $1.5 trillion to cut taxes. You never did anything with health care. You are about to declare a national emergency.
