As of Tuesday morning, more than 5,101,300 people in the United States have been infected with the coronavirus, and at least one hundred and sixty-two thousand Americans have died. Donald Trump signed an executive order on evictions that does not extend the federal moratorium on evictions and ordered a deferral of payroll taxes that will still need to be paid back next year — after the election. And there’s a lot to unpack in regards to the payroll tax cut, but at this point, the immediate threats are looming evictions for millions of Americans and COVID-19. Trump doesn’t feel the need to fill up his schedule to meet with experts as Americans struggle to put food on the table.
Jinkies, it must be nice to have a gig like this:
Here’s Trump’s public schedule for tomorrow. They’ve been adding “news conferences” the day of. (Public schedules don’t include all of a president’s activities.) pic.twitter.com/i2nJlAdREt

Oh, he added a thing:
A 5:30 “news conference” has been added to the schedule. https://t.co/vW6IInOZly

Oh, I see. Trump can once again talk about the 1918 pandemic that he has repeatedly said began in 1917, then explain how it “probably ended the Second World War” that ended in 1945.
Social media users responded to Trump’s schedule:
The laziest president in history.

If he finds out Biden is announcing his Vp, he will call a press briefing to announce some bullshit. Book it

If only that schedule could be mine. My dogs have busier schedules.

Trump did manage to unleash a Twitter rant to lash out at his critics this morning.
He’s up. First order of business. Just Wow. pic.twitter.com/BstUHzhU1E

Fox News in the morning, a touch of fascism for lunch, and maybe propaganda rally from the White House podium. Another very busy day.

This guy does nothing. Hangs around in his Pjs all morning watching Fox and Morning Joe.

I would love to see side-by-side comparisons of his schedule with any other PotUS. He’s gotta be the only one with “lunch” as his entire day.

Adding a press conference to his vacant schedule is meaningless. Trump uses his pressers as campaign rallies. In short, we have a president that lacks empathy, and the only time he feels the need to do something is if he’s being criticized — then he opens his Twitter account.
