What a #Democrat Could Do With Trump’s [#Appropriated] #Power

In this 1st year of his 2nd term, #Trump has claimed broad powers to unilaterally restructure much of how the US govt functions. Some…have gone completely unchallenged. Others have been litigated, & although lower courts have been skeptical of many of these efforts, #SCOTUS has been more approving.

The Atlantic · What a Democrat Could Do With Trump’s PowerBy Paul Rosenzweig
Continued thread

…Sen Jeanne Shaheen (NH), the ranking #Democrat on the cmte, who initiated the report, said…, “#Democrats & #Republicans alike agree on one thing: that one of the biggest threats to our future in the #UnitedStates, both our #economic & our #NationalSecurity future, is competition with #China. And yet as I look at what the administration has done since it came into office, they have made decision after decision that undercut any coordinated strategic response to how we deal with China.”

So, #Trump is famously #lazy. Can't be bothered to read briefings, doesn't like working in general, would rather be enjoying leisure while paying a young woman to follow him around with a wireless printer, printing out any news stories she finds where people say nice things about Trump (no, I am not joking about this).

So people point to the amount of time he just takes off from "work" to go golfing. See, for example:
trumpgolftrack.com/

It's pointing out that of the 163 days he has currently spent in office, he was actually out-of-office golfing for 38 of them.

I'm not sure why these 38 / 163 days are a big deal. The Democratic party has been absent for 163 of them.
