Summary

Donald Trump resumed golfing at one of his resorts shortly after issuing a memorandum requiring federal employees to return to in-office work five days a week.

Critics noted this move contradicts Trump’s claim of being “too busy” to golf.

The return-to-office order disproportionately affects women and minorities, as studies show such mandates often increase workplace inequality.

During his previous presidency, Trump’s frequent golf trips cost taxpayers millions.

The new policy has drawn backlash for its logistical strain on parents and perceived attacks on diversity initiatives in federal agencies.

    Hypocrisy aside, any moment he spends golfing is one less spent taking away people’s rights.

    Although someone else wrote all those Executive Actions he scrawled on, so unless they’re on the course pretending they don’t see him cheating, evil is still being done.

      Not really.

      All his powers have been delegated to the cabinet, whom are picked by the oligarchs.

      He only need to sign papers ever now and then, but he’s mostly a figurehead.

      While he is golfing:

      The deportations (of which some are Legal Immigrants, and even US Citizens will get caught up in) are still happening.

      Mass surveillance efforts are ramping up.

      “conservative” think tanks are strategizing to see what worse plans they could come up with.

      All while he’s busy golfing.

      They would just bring it to trump and he’ll rubber stamp it. Dude’s a Hindenberg

      Elon is the hitler (like literally, he did the salute)

      trump’s danger is not just him doing something, him sitting here acting like the rubber stamp, is in itself the danger.

        I’d say Trump is more Yeltzin than Von Hindenburg, and the US will probably not turn into the 4th Reich, but more likely into Russia 2.0, an oligarchy heavily reliant on propaganda to keep the people in check while robbing them blind.

        Dude is definitely a dangerous bag of hot gas. And Elon is definitely a Nazi. And the broligarchs do have the literal power of the purse, although Trump’s personal and petty preferences have a lot to do with his appointments.

        But it’s who not whom in this usage.
