No, No, No, I Have Eyes
Lyin’ Eyes – a famous country western song – immediately came to mind when I read this.
Nope. I have eyes. Either he’s not missing lunch or he eats the whole rest of the damn day.
The point they were trying to make is to refute “a report that the commander-in-chief spends his days obsessing over TV coverage and eating fries.” Because, you know, it looks like that’s what he’s doing.
White House staffers said the president works around the clock and can make five dozen work-related calls a day during the pandemic.
“I can tell you that the biggest concern I have as a new chief of staff is making sure he gets some time to get a quick bite to eat,” White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told The Post.
Five dozen? Honey, that’s 60 calls. If he calls Rudy Giuliani 30 times, does that count as one or almost three dozen?
Look, if he’s doing 60 calls a day, then he ain’t doing this president thing right. Plus, he barely knows 60 words, so this is kinda hard to believe.
But, here’s his proof that he’s working hard.
Yep – running around in circles demanding to be praised is hard work.
Since he uses a phone for his lunatic tweets, they count as calls. And as we know, he can reel off twenty to thirty of them during a poop, which counts as multitasking. So much hard work! Give him a Noble Prize.
1I call puerile propaganda. Not only the uncoverage by Ms. J J but it is purported that his immobile, Jabba the Hut days are slave to the tube, whereby his governance bubbles up like a backed up commode.
2Yep – running around in circles demanding to be praised is hard work.
Covidiot* 45 may be the catalyst that changes that age old expression. Running? The golf cart lard soap … running …. sorry … no images available.
As for the metaphor, “patting himself on the back,” for that he’d* be the first known death from repetitive motion injury. That would work since the wording on his* toe tag is the least of my concerns.
3Trump likes to be on TV. Give him his own channel on C-Span for a week with a camera crew in tow. Then we can all see live, The Hardest Working Man In The Presidents Business.
I’ll bet he needs two drummers just to balance the power of his tweets and pronouncements.
4Since he is the trumpkin he knows nothing but BS and how to twit it. He is a LIAR so when he says he’s ahrd working he means at golf!
5He is certainly looking more unhealthy than previously, whether that is because of malnutrition or some other cause.
6an obese person like trump does not miss many meals…..
7Considering the results of all of his “work,” perhaps we should be grateful he doesn’t work more.
8He’s a grazer – he doesn’t sit down with his family at a table for a meal, he just snacks all day. I have to admit my muffin top is trying to become a pound cake during this quarantine!
9That’s just hilarious. Hilarious that he’d even try to fake it and more so that he thinks saying it will make people believe it.
10I’m with Ted here: he’s done so much damage to our government in general, our national treasures like parks and, if he gets his way, the postal service, our global reputation, and our hope for any kind of fairness to anyone in the bottom 99% that I’d just as soon he quit working so hard. And those 60 phone calls a day must be beauts: if he’s working 12 hours a day, that’s 12 minutes a call. Of course, that’s got to strain his attention span. ..
11Well, that’s why he’s been looking so svelte. I’m sure he’ll be down from his old 239 (!) to a perfect (just like the letter) 139 any day now. Look out Twiggy, you have competition. Yes, I’m that old.
12megasoid@2: thanks for that mental imagery. I’ll try to work it into my list of ~100 names people have given Trump. And when it comes to backed-up toilets, if anyone here has seen the recent Korean film “Parasite”, it’s got an unforgettable one. Start at 1:28 in the clip
