When is the president not on the clock? If something awful happens at any time of the day that needs immediate attention it’s “sorry, I’m off the clock”?!!

No way to run a country unless it’s into the ground. 🙄

Remember 9/11? Bush II was reading a story to nursery-school kids at the time. I still remember the look on his face when he learned that the first plane had hit the Twin Towers.

Yeah, our new Saudi friend besties were behind that abomination. Anyone remember?

I thought not.

If that's what people remember, they're missing a lot. The Saudis were almost certainly behind the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, however. As to "new" besties -- uh, no. Remember ARAMCO? Once upon a time it was the Arabian American Oil Company, and it was founded in the mid-1930s by Standard Oil of California.

Who, the Saudi royal family? <g> They probably already own it.

No Standard Oil/Chevron. First their headquarters were in the city, then they moved out to San Ramon. I heard in the last year that they were moving to Texas. They can't move their shipping operations from Richmond because then they'd have to pay for their environmental damage. But business operations, I think they're going or gone.

Isn't Meta/Facebook doing likewise? California's just too blue for Zuck.

I don't know. I thought Zuck was here because of the weather, although maybe his wife is from here. His estate here is Saudi style, if you ask me. It's not like he went to Stanford. I'm sure he'll love Texas and its great weather. That's heavy sarcasm, but with whom can he and Priscilla and little Maxima and August socialize here? Or maybe they can go to Hawaii? They probably don't want him there either. California is his best bet for surviving the climate crisis, but he's trying for other options that he can privately finance.

He’s not “on the clock” at Motel-a-Lardo, but drags the same donors into our White House the following day. No connection, KKKaroline?

Personal time doesn't have presidential immunity if you catch my drift. KKKaroline threw her manbaby orange boss under the bus and didn't even know it.

Agree. I have a daughter her age and if she talked that smug to actual educated, professional adults, she'd be getting a little conversation from me about decorum. Entitled little twat KKK is.

I think she graduated from the school of Sarah Huckabitch Saunders.

There’s an arrogance to Karoline that I didn’t sense in Sarah. Like a little princess vibe. Or maybe it’s the youth arrogance that they think they know everything. Everything she has financially she owes to her wealthy dad-age husband so don’t know why she’s so personally arrogant and condescending. I keep waiting for her to quit like the rest of them.

I remember how horrified we all were about Bush I running the first gulf war from a golf cart. He was on vacation & on the clock, even tho the optics were horrible.

Her answer is non sensible! Oh, we can’t bother HIM now, even though missiles are headed right at Washington!

Let's face it, if missiles were headed toward DC, Trump would be whisked away into the bomb-proof bunkers under the White House, stocked with old videos of "The Apprentice." The U.S. has no president, period. Just a grifting, gluttonous rapist in the Oval Office who believes he's going to outlive his ill-gotten wealth.

We do have a Nazi not-president & a Nazi former co-prez running things more or less behind the scenes since the latter decided to spend more time with hus exploding Nazimobile, so there’s that.

So if it is on his personal time -

does this mean this criminal activity is not an official presidential act or business?

Then he is bound to criminal prosecution ! corruption ! According to the SCJ

I'm sticking this in here because I don't know where to put it. Off topic. Maybe. But has the Orange-fart-in-chief said even one damn word about the storms that killed people down south last week? Maybe when he was off the clock? How about it, Lame-ass Leavitt? Anything?

Considering that he is cutting funds and personnel from FEMA despite making false claims about Biden and FEMA (solely to get votes) after hurricane helene, I doubt he cares much about those people at all. The election is over - he got what he wanted, he’s moving on.

He’s a gibbering idiot who doesn’t say much that isn’t either a juvenile, name-calling insult to someone he doesn’t like, or gold-plated self-aggrandizement. He isn’t capable of anything else unless it’s getting rubes to participate in his grift.

He is off the clock and as well as off the brain. How many times does he answer with “I don’t know” or “I didn’t hear about that. You’ll have to ask my people?”
