Original Story: Look, we all know that work can be rough. After that relaxing Christmas break, it’s not easy getting back to your regular nine-to-five. But if you’re the goddamn President of the United States, you should probably be ready to get back into crunch time.
Enter ol’ Donny Trump:
I hope everyone is having a great Christmas, then tomorrow it’s back to work in order to Make America Great Again (which is happening faster than anyone anticipated)!

Back to work, people. So on Dec. 26, Trump got back to the daily grind, yes?

Okay, we’ll give the man some leeway. It’s still pretty Christmas-y the day after. Surely he’ll be back to it the day after that.

Uh, scratch that. Team Trump is depending on the old, classic adage: “if I can’t see you, you can’t see me.”
And because the rule of three is a thing, Trump was still golfing the following day, even taking time on the golf course to tweet about the hullabaloo about that one Vanity Fair video about Hillary Clinton.
Vanity Fair, which looks like it is on its last legs, is bending over backwards in apologizing for the minor hit they took at Crooked H. Anna Wintour, who was all set to be Amb to Court of St James’s & a big fundraiser for CH, is beside herself in grief & begging for forgiveness!

Just another day of work for the man who is somehow our president.
