Last year, a man in San Antonio was fired for playing golf during work hours.

“I’m going to be working for you. I’m not going to have time to go play golf.” — Donald J. Trump, August 2016.

Donald Trump spent 312 of his 1420 days as president playing golf. The cost directly and indirectly to the American taxpayer topped $144 million. Barack Obama played 312 times, but he was president four years longer.

Donald Trump loves to talk to his followers as if he were a newcomer to this political thing and given the chance, “Man-oh-boy, am I gonna shake things up.” When interviewed, his followers also speak in ways that indicate that Trump wasn’t president from 2017 to 2021.

Given the level of intellect of the average Trump supporter — and, yes, I know that by calling them stupid, I am not helping but if the shoe fits! — I am sure some don’t know that he was president. If you ever watch Jordan Klepper’s interviews with Trumpists at his rallies, you get a better sense of how dangerously stupid our country has gotten.
