Title: Trump: 'No president ever worked harder than me'
Post by: mystery-ak on February 11, 2019, 01:56:22 pm
President Trump on Monday repeated his declaration that he is one of the most hardworking presidents in U.S. history.

“No president ever worked harder than me (cleaning up the mess I inherited)!” Trump tweeted.

he comment echoed a series of tweets from the president over the weekend, in which he defended his use of “Executive Time” and said that he “had no choice but to work very long hours” due to the state of the country when he assumed office.

“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,” Trump tweeted Sunday.

That’s exactly right.  The sacrifices and hardships of George Washington were nothing in comparison.

Sure he is. This is they contrived photos the WH released during the Schumer Shutdown from early 2018. You can tell how hard he is working, from all the material on his desk. This looks like one of the corny agent photos you see in a real estate flyer, at the supermarket. The only thing missing is a bichon frise.

Here is my own experience with "Executive time":

Several times every day,
I step away from the keyboard and lie on the bed.
It is there where the great insights occur to me.
I then return to the keyboard and record them.

Victor Hugo,
who brought us the classic novel Les Misérables,
puts it this way:

“One is not idle because one is absorbed.
There is both visible and invisible labor.
To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do.
The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act.
The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.”

We now have a better idea of what occurs during executive time…
