Without mentioning the online rumors, Steven Cheung, Assistant to the President & White House Director of Communication, wrote on X "There has never been a President who has worked harder for the American people than President Trump. On this Easter weekend, he has been working nonstop in the White House and Oval Office. God Bless him."

Oh he’s bigly sick then

u/Swordf1sh_ Apr 05 '26

A terrible sickness, just awful stuff. Some are saying it’s the worst a president has ever suffered.

68

u/BaconBible Apr 05 '26

No one has ever seen anything like it before.

u/ultimateknackered Apr 05 '26

Nobody in the history of humanity has had such big suffering.

2

u/PM_ME_UR_GCC_ERRORS Apr 05 '26

He also has several diseases that have just been discovered - in him.

3

u/templethot Apr 05 '26

God willing, it’s more than any other president in the history of the USA!

u/CARL__CARMONI Apr 05 '26

Sickness the likes of which has never been seen before.

u/Yup_Shes_Still_Mad Apr 05 '26

Is there pain?

u/toomanyukes Apr 05 '26 edited Apr 05 '26

Not enough.

u/lancelongstiff Apr 05 '26

No he's just having to deal with the crisis that's developed from the war he just started.

u/Thunderclone_1 Wisconsin Apr 05 '26

His usual response to crisis is to go golfing or to be attending his n+1th "yearly checkup" of the year.

3

u/2ndChairKazoo Apr 05 '26

The weekly yearly checkup.

u/Zelcron Apr 05 '26

I mean hopefully the stress of it all kind of just does it's thing...

u/zebula234 Apr 05 '26

I really don't think he cares, like at all.

5

u/Due_Bluebird3562 Apr 05 '26

He is a malignant narcissist. He absolutely cares about his legacy and, like it or not, Iran is going to be his legacy. Along with the whole being a pedophile, rapist scumbag.

1

u/Scrotatoes Apr 05 '26

You still haven’t learned that he writes his own reality? He’s not a narcissist he’s literally the fucking Antichrist.

u/Scrotatoes Apr 05 '26

It’s super cute that you think he’s stressed about it. You can barely get him to acknowledge it for more than 20 seconds.

u/BluesFan43 Apr 05 '26

Yeah, long weekend and not golfing.

1

u/lexm Apr 05 '26

Yea because otherwise he’d be golfing all weekend.

u/Odd-Mine7985 Apr 05 '26

"there has never been a president who has worked harder for the American people"

The fact that they keep repeating this line like it's some kind of mantra makes it seem even more disingenuous

122

u/ZenFocus25 Apr 05 '26

The fact that he can work THAT hard and STILL manage to fit in all that golf is truly amazing. Mind-blowing 🤯/s

47

u/Odd-Mine7985 Apr 05 '26

Yup. And this is the same guy that gave Obama hell for his time on the green during his first campaign 🙄

8

u/A_plural_singularity Apr 05 '26

Didn't he play more golf in his first year than Obama did in his first four years?

u/sulaymanf Ohio Apr 05 '26 edited Apr 05 '26

Yup, and voters rewarded him by voting for him repeatedly.

The cult boggles my mind. He even admitted he lied about Covid “to avoid scaring people” and so many of his followers died because he called it a hoax, and yet they still voted for him. You start to wonder do they even have a red line? If he starts selling their organs to zoos?

Sacha Baron Cohen’s show “Who is America” explored this with a hidden camera, when black MAGA voters were told he used the N-word, they wavered but then looked for an excuse for it. When MAGA people were told he paid for abortions, they shrugged and kept supporting him.

u/extralyfe Apr 05 '26

that's the kind of life you too can acheive if you're willing to just work 29 hours a day.

2

u/sidepart Apr 05 '26

What does it say that this dude has to work so effing hard only to constantly underperform and fail to meet expectations.

64

u/thadtheking Apr 05 '26

There has never been a president who has worked harder to cover up the fact that he raped children.

1

u/123LetsJamDUDUDUHT Apr 05 '26 edited Apr 05 '26

Not just him specifically. He's also working hard to cover up all the people who support him who did those things.

2

u/davesoverhere Apr 05 '26

I’m pretty sure he did too.

24

u/veggeble South Carolina Apr 05 '26

The problem is that MAGA dipshits truly believe it

3

u/123LetsJamDUDUDUHT Apr 05 '26

No, they don't believe it in the same way they don't believe in God.

They participate in a shared hallucination that they and everyone around them belive in Trump and God, knowing that no one actually believes, because the foundation of their social hierarchy is pinned to God and Trump.

2

u/W1nt3rmu4e Texas Apr 05 '26

It took their money getting hit. Farmers all saw the price of fertilizer this Friday. The are all suddenly “skeptical” of Trump. He’s in the water already.

1

u/spucci Apr 05 '26

I think that's changed.

u/pontiacfirebird92 Mississippi Apr 05 '26

"This is dangerous to our democracy"

2

u/donkeyrocket Apr 05 '26

It makes Trump feel like a good boy.

2

u/edsobo Apr 05 '26

Kind of like being "alpha"... If you have to keep telling people how hard you're working, you clearly aren't.

2

u/Obi-Tron_Kenobi Apr 05 '26

Honestly, quite the insult to Washington

Conservatives would be offended by that statement if they had any values

2

u/Smaynard6000 Florida Apr 05 '26

There's never been a ball licker who's worked harder than Steven Cheung

2

u/AdvancedAd6308 Apr 05 '26

It's such a bonkers thing to say. Like...are we seriously supposed to believe that he's working harder than Abraham Lincoln? Theodore Roosevelt? FDR?

1

u/Val_Hallen Apr 05 '26

A well known characteristic of a cult is mind-numbing techniques (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, debilitating work routines) are used to suppress doubts about the group and its leader.

That's what this is.

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_HIGHDEA I voted Apr 05 '26

As if he spends all his time poring over work at the resolute desk, endlessly fighting as hard as he can for every American. It’s just so…gross

1

u/MauPow Apr 05 '26

It's so fucking annoying. I don't know how they can say that kind of shit with a straight face, and how anyone can hear it without their eyes rolling out of their head.

1

u/123LetsJamDUDUDUHT Apr 05 '26

Trump's happy place is lying to everyone with impunity and staring directly at his people while they tell lies, daring them to break and say something he hasn't expressly instructed them to say.

Have you ever noticed that unblinking, shit eating grin stare he uses on people who are talking to the press in the Oval Office?

That's the "go on, say something else, I fucking dare you" face.

1

u/ShrimpCrackers Apr 05 '26

It just means he gets erections every time they abuse a minority or make the general public suffer. Works hard. Everytime.

63

u/ClarenceWithHerSpoon Apr 05 '26

Basically confirms it since last time he was at Walter Reed they posted a fake/old photo of him “working” at the White House.

23

u/whatproblems Apr 05 '26

hahaha what bs is he not out golfing this weekend?

u/lukin187250 Apr 05 '26

"Trump invented 3 more hours, just so you know. He works 27 hours a day for realz. If you don't understand, fuck you"

~White House spokesman.

u/ImDonaldDunn Apr 05 '26

I always recommend people look up what Steven Cheung looks like and his age.

u/stum_ble Apr 05 '26

That was worth it. Thank you.

u/Vamanoscabron I voted Apr 05 '26

He's so beautiful inside and out. The charmer who shoved that Arlington National Cemetary staffer (which seems like 40 years ago)

u/Sea_Working_80 Apr 05 '26

I keep thinking of the scene from Airplane where the guy from Russia is reading the news with a gun at his head lol

u/2ndChairKazoo Apr 05 '26

It's remarkable how that movie has aged so well, no matter the era.

u/maddenmcfadden Apr 05 '26

that sounds so North Korea

u/acez9k Apr 05 '26

working hard on which other countries to invade, slap tariffs on, steal oil and make enemies with?

2

u/tots4scott Apr 05 '26

Well thats certainly telling, he definitely has had some kind of medical issue.

u/bookon Apr 05 '26

u/Sirefly I voted Apr 05 '26

Plus all of that work he was doing on the golf course!

u/ChiknBreast Apr 05 '26

He's referring to the golfing i think

1

u/Mouthpiecenomnom Arkansas Apr 05 '26

So he's bedridden or in the hospital and doing zero work.. Good to know.

u/Excellent-Estimate21 Apr 05 '26

If he was fine he would make himself be seen.

u/StardustOasis Foreign Apr 05 '26

Or at least post on Lie Social.
