Gus Van Horn blog Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Well! It didn't take long for some political opponent of Trump to drag out the modern version of Nero fiddled while Rome burned, which is "Uhhh! The President is playing golf too much."Cropped from image by the White House, via Wikimedia Commons, public domain.My news digest for the day includes a link to the Trump Golf Track (sic), which, as of this morning, shows a red-hatted Trump leaning on a golf club, with numbers for days in office, days and percentage of time spent golfing, graphs of egg and gas prices (over which no President should have any control), and links to X/Twitter for substantiation of the implicit charge of laziness.I have said it before of Trump I and Obama, and I will say it again: [H]is policies [are] so bad for America, I'd frankly rather he spent much more time on the links!In his short time in office, Trump has started needless trade wars with our closest allies (which really amount to a self-imposed national trade embargo) and, in the case of Denmark, rattled his saber at them.While his agenda isn't 100% awful, he seems to have made the most energetic moves on these foolish policies, so I would have to say that, on balance, criticizing him for not being hard-enough at it is ridiculous.When we have a bad employee, we don't put that employee on more shifts. We find a way to lessen the damage en route to firing him.-- CAVLink to Original EC and Jon Letendre 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
