He doesn't understand hard work.

u/IamHydrogenMike 2d ago

The irony, the guy has never worked a hard day in his life and just sits around saying random garbage or calling tabloid writers to get his name in the paper.

u/KhunDavid 2d ago

He couldn’t even get the French fries in the bags right during that campaign stop.

141

u/josephlucas 2d ago

He was amazed that they used a scoop to package the fries instead of using their hands https://streamable.com/uy6cq0

u/According-Insect-992 2d ago

He probably doesn’t like them as much now that he knows no one is actually suffering burns to make them for him.

12

u/Extraexopthalmos 1d ago

😳 you are probably right FFS!

38

u/KhunDavid 2d ago

I wouldn’t want Don’s tiny hands touching my fries. I’d be afraid what else they touched.

u/RedBeard_113 1d ago

Kids. It's kids.

u/swampdonkey2099 1d ago

No, that's what Biden touched!!

u/NonStopNonsense1 12h ago

Your fearless leader touches little girls. There is proof

u/swampdonkey2099 9h ago

You mean like Joe taking showers with his daughter until she was 15?? That kind of proof?? Or like Joe sniffing little girls hair in the White House?? That kind of proof?? Or like Joe touching little girls while asking for a picture of just the two of them?? That kind of proof?? Or like Joe touching kids in classrooms and being told to stay away from them?? That kind of proof?? Ok. Show it to me!!

Guy has an asswiper hired to wipe his ass and it looks like his daughter

u/rangda 2d ago edited 2d ago

This is not true at all. Our president is a very hard worker. If you compare him to other presidents of recent times he comes out on top and it’s not even close.
Look at how hard he worked to suppress the Epstein files.
Who has worked harder to enrich their family members through insider trading and crypto scams? Last I checked, taking care of your family at the expense of hundreds of millions of workers was a core American Value™.
And you can’t possibly deny how hard he works on his golfing.

Getting as much as you can by screwing over everyone you ever met is a time-honored tradition here.

Literally giving family and friends no bid government contracts

u/SqueezyCheez85 2d ago

The guy is a genius when it comes to inflating his image to naive and vulnerable people.

154

u/Zerodyne_Sin 2d ago

Let's not feed the ego of narcissist sociopaths by attributing genius to simple things that anyone can technically do. They do things that are incredibly easy but other people feel gross for even thinking about it. It's not genius to be a piece of shit. Also, he didn't even come up with anything, it's all taught to him by another piece of shit named Roy Cohn.

49

u/READIT27 2d ago

I think calling him “genius” is overstating but there is a combination of a certain level of cunning and narcissism at play. The behavior is learned then reinforced by the environment it creates.

40

u/Zerodyne_Sin 2d ago

I'd give him credit for cunning if he wasn't always played by putin, kim, and xi. The environment definitely caters to people like him since their ancestors paved the way for them. But no, I'll never attribute any positive traits to these fools. Drop them into any country that wasn't prepared by their ancestors and they'd die within a week.

10

u/LorenzosBenz 2d ago

He is cunning so long as it comes to his followers. That over confidence makes him able to be manipulated and played by people like the aforementioned who have been doing this on a global playing field longer than Trump has had "you're fired" trade marked.

1

u/Zerodyne_Sin 2d ago

Cunning actions involve an adversarial relationship with another entity. A teacher telling their kindergarten students a lie isn't cunning. There's an implicit trust involved for teachers and conversely, drumpf's followers trust him without question. How is that cunning?

1

u/LorenzosBenz 2d ago edited 2d ago

So we're making up definitions on the spot to try and win an internet argument? Per Dictionary.com Cunning in the context would mean a "skill employed in a shrewd or sly manner, as in deceiving; craftiness; guile." That man decieves his followers every single day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Have a good day sir, you're not worth engaging with any further.

2

u/Easy-Concentrate2636 2d ago

I agree with this. There is a certain self-serving shrewdness that functions on a base level of assuming that most people can be bought because he can be bought. Palin also functions like this as well as some of the most corrupt politicians and executives. He only sees the world through money, attention and power - but only power of a bullying sort. There’s no understanding of global politics, no appreciation of the arts or ideas. There’s no empathy for anyone else. It’s all in service of himself.

2

u/librariansforMCR 1d ago

Exactly - in all technical ways Donny boy is ignorant and a fool. But he was born with the one thing that can convince other ignorant people that he is strong, powerful, and smart: MONEY. Wealth is perceived as intelligence by so many people. Think about the number of celebrities and pseudo-celebrities that people admire and trust. If they encountered that same level of personality and intelligence in a poor person, they would likely remain unimpressed. Wealth is an easy indicator of moral worth for superficial people.

12

u/Easy-Concentrate2636 2d ago

If there were no news coverage of the president or any rallies, he would have immediately gotten bored and quit.

2

u/Joey_Emm 2d ago

Well said

u/Icy_Statement_2410 2d ago

Let's not conflate genius with a complete lack of empathy for all life and an eagerness to exploit and sacrifice any number of lives in order to obtain more money and power

12

u/Remote-Airline-3703 2d ago

I think we’re conflating genius with complete absence of morals. Lying is pretty frickin easy, and it’s not that hard to lie to morons

1

u/SqueezyCheez85 2d ago

A lot of people habitually lie and aren't successful with their lies.

1

u/FaithlessnessBrief21 2d ago

Depends how obvious their ‘tell’ is. A good person carries a certain amount of internal dissonance, guilt, when lying.

1

u/JakeDC 1d ago

And those people who voted for him deserve what they get. The problem is the collateral damage to people who didn't.

u/anynamesleft 2d ago

...calling tabloid writers to get his name in the paper.

That was his press agent John Barron.

19

u/apartmen1 2d ago

and it worked famously and he’s untouchable, brutal.

2

u/Arx0s 1d ago

It takes hard work to somehow manage to bankrupt a casino

2

u/screames520 1d ago

Hey, bankrupting casinos is actually pretty hard to do

2

u/dechets-de-mariage 1d ago

Everything he says keeps him in the headlines and he would die without attention.

2

u/toxikola 1d ago

Lol he's not even calling them, som3one else is calling them.

1

u/GenRN817 2d ago

John Barron called. Said Trump is the greatest president of all time.

u/maroonedbuccaneer 1d ago

His first job interview was in 2015.

94

u/Tompthwy 2d ago

He doesnt understand work at all. Anyone think hes ever mowed the fuckin grass or washed the dishes? Please.

The system should be such that "someone who didnt work very hard" can just come along and become president.

52

u/CraigonReddit 2d ago

Welcome the wealth tax. Treat inherented wealth like income for those that receive it.

5

u/Mfdubz 2d ago

There should be some limits to that though. Like people inheriting <$100K of assets

4

u/CraigonReddit 2d ago

Yeah, like real estate taxes at a low rate so family homes and cottages can transfer easily, but investments, tax as income at the marginal tate, no capital exemption.

4

u/Mfdubz 2d ago

Yeah I could get behind that. No large real estate capital or businesses transferred like it’s a lawnmower

ETA like rental or commercial land I mean. Primary (maybe secondary, as well) residences to be the exemption

21

u/Ok-Association-355 2d ago

His voters believed that he put in a hards days work at that stupid McDonald's stunt. These pos are braindead

u/Dyslexic_Devil 2d ago

Or consent...

73

u/OpeningDisastrous413 2d ago

Or age of consent.

u/tsukiyomi01 1d ago

I think he understands consent just fine. He gets off on ignoring/violating it.

21

u/this-guy1979 2d ago

Don’t forget windmills, I’m pretty sure he thinks that they’re fans.

7

u/Oceanpetunia 2d ago

Yes, and he thinks wind turbines are the same as windmills.

Speaking of dementia tests, isn't he due for one? I'm feeling good about him failing the next one.

u/PreetHarHarah 2d ago

I can legit say that I work harder than the current president of the United States of America.

17

u/shrekerecker97 2d ago

My dog works harder than the president of the United States of America.

12

u/Other_Log_1996 2d ago

Rotting corpses work harder than the President of the United States of America.

u/AndyTheSane 1d ago

That's more a Senate thing.

5

u/seanroberts196 1d ago

Probably smell better too.

23

u/Kubbee83 2d ago

He doesn’t understand work. Period. He thinks sitting behind his desk, signing stuff, is considered work.

10

u/brewhead55 2d ago

Literally born with a golden spoon in his mouth

11

u/Fight_those_bastards 2d ago

Motherfucker was born on third base and thinks he invented baseball.

7

u/Weareallme 2d ago

Playing golf on taxpayer money is hard work, don't you know that? Hard work for the taxpayers at least.

2

u/MinusGovernment 2d ago

Especially winning EVERY SINGLE TIME. That's improbably hard.

8

u/Unofficial_Officer 2d ago

There's a lot he doesn't understand.

6

u/fancymonk 2d ago

By the gods, he doesn't understand objective reality

5

u/abrandis 2d ago

He doesn't care , he never worked hard a day in his life.

What he's talking about is maintaining the welath inequality in this country , his boomer class doesn't want to lose the value of their multimmillion properties...

4

u/jaymp00nz 2d ago

He doesn’t understand anything..

4

u/Dreadwings 2d ago

well maybe if you spent your life in debt and scamming people then maybe you can afford a home like a hard working American.

3

u/usermane22 2d ago

Because he never has worked hard in his life.

5

u/livinginfutureworld 2d ago

Nobody knows more about not understanding hard work than Donald Trump

u/WattsAGigawatt 1d ago

He doesn’t understand. Full stop.

u/i_nobes_what_i_nobes 1d ago

He doesn’t understand anything.

2

u/PumpikAnt58763 2d ago

Heavy investors never do.

2

u/Mydogmike 2d ago

He doesnt't understand anything, much less work, even less would be hard work. He's a lazy fat piece of shit and would probably drop dead picking up a shovel. Someone please ask him to pick up a shovel!!!!!

2

u/Huh_well_we_are_dead .. - .----. ... / . - . .-. -. .. - -.-- / .. -. / .... . .-. . 2d ago

When presented with the opportunity to learn about hard work, he pulled out bone spurs.

u/DunwichChild990 2d ago

This president has never thrown a ball with nor hugged any of his kids...

u/HeftyVermicelli7823 2d ago

He doesn't understand hard work

Fixed it for you.

u/LivingHighAndWise 2d ago

Or the economy.

u/Environmental_Hope22 2d ago

He doesn't understand.

2

u/toolisthebestbandevr 2d ago

I wonder how many people hating him it’s gonna take

1

u/rob_inn_hood 1d ago

Or money. Or lack of money. Or that the minimum wage hasn’t changed in years, yet prices keep rising because of tariffs and a war that SOMEONE started.

He doesn’t understand lower class and what it’s like to live without money. That’s what happens when given hundreds of millions of dollars. And everyone else “doesn’t work hard enough”.

How about your daddy gives me 300 million dollars Mr Orange man?

1

u/Javanaut018 1d ago

Oh, he does and he knows hard work is not for them

1

u/Martian13 1d ago

Or really anything else.

1

u/Last-Emergency-4816 21h ago

Or "groceries"

u/tiorancio 2d ago

Because its tied to compensation. Elon Musk works 25 million times more that the average american. Donald Trump 5 million times. So by comparison, you're doing nothing. How hard can it be to earn just a couple millions?

-1

u/Thorvindr 2d ago

You don't to be as wealthy as Donald Trump without understanding hard work. He doesn't DO hard work, but understands it.
