Trump was reliving his version of the 2016 election when he said, “Think of it. I’d just beaten with no political experience, the Clinton dynasty, the Bush dynasty, the president Barack Hussein Obama dynasty, and President Obama worked harder at defeating me than Crooked Hillary Clinton. He was all over the place. It was the only time I’ve actually seen him work hard when he came to trying to beat Trump. True.”

The racism is obvious is Trump’s comments. Trump claimed that he works harder than Obama because he is white.
The reality of the situation is that Donald Trump has spent over 280 years worth of presidential salary on golf trips. Trump has made 224 trips to play golf during his presidency, at a cost to taxpayers of $110 million. Trump has 105 daytime trips as president to go play golf, which is the equivalent of Trump going to the golf course every Saturday and Sunday for more than two years of his presidency.
Trump’s leaked private schedule revealed that his “workday” is roughly 11 AM to 6 PM with lots of executive time built in so that he can talk on the phone to his friends, watch TV, and tweet.
Obama was famous for working late into the night in the Oval Office. Trump can’t show up for work before 11 AM.
Trump knows his audience, and with the 2020 election coming, he is amping up the racism to get those white Southern Republicans out to vote.
