Joe Scarborough Ranted That Donald Trump Spends Most of His Time 'Watching Cable News and Tweeting' and Trump Proved Him Right Almost Immediately

The weekend report on news site axios.com angered the White House, which did not deny the details of what appears to be a rather easy typical day at the office for the world's most powerful man.

And there it is.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Monday torched President Donald Trump's work ethic after another round of private presidential schedules were leaked over the weekend.

Records released by Axios on Sunday show that Trump spent 50 percent of four days last week enjoying unstructured "Executive Time."


Trump insists that the executive time isn't spent relaxing, but Scarborough ridiculed Trump's chest-pounding as "an absolute joke," citing previous reports that also show Trump as having huge blocks of free time every morning.

“We’ve seen one account after another, one person working for Trump after another, saying he often just hunkers down upstairs in the personal quarters,” Scarborough said on Morning Joe. “He spends the majority of his time watching cable news and tweeting, yelling, staring at TV sets like an old man that is in a retirement home instead of a president of the United States who is supposed to be working 24 hours a day.”

Scarborough wasn't done comparing Trump, 72, to a listless retiree living in a home.

“I’m sure most older men in retirement homes live far more active lives than does Donald Trump,” Scarborough said. “But for these people that come out and suggest, and for Donald Trump to suggest he’s worked harder than most any president before him is just an absolute joke.”

Scarborough, a former GOP Congressman, did concede that Trump was number one at something.

“Historians will record, when this presidency is over, that Donald Trump was the laziest president ever to occupy the Oval Office,” Scarborough said, “And did less work than any other president to ever to occupy the Oval Office, full stop.”

Watch below:

Minutes later, Trump responded to Scarborough on Twitter.

"No president ever worked harder than me (cleaning up the mess I inherited)!" Trump whined.

It backfired spectacularly. Trump was clearly watching television.

We are not stupid.

Honestly, who does Trump think he is fooling?

Not these folks.

Trump has actually surpassed all of his predecessors in time spent not working, among other things.

As for that "mess" Trump inherited...

Remember when The Simpsons tried to warn us?

We remember.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
