"I haven't actually left the White House in months," Trump says. What?

Josh is one of the best reporters around, but I didn’t want to retweet this until I checked if there was some mitigating context, and yeah, no, he just plain said he hasn’t left the White House in months, two days after his trip to Texas.

1. He probably means he hasn't left the WH to go to his golf clubs, Mar-La-Go.

9. He was there for Thanksgiving, over several days

Overnights since the start of November (since he said 'for months'):

Paris November 9–11 (when he failed to visit the American war cemetery)
Mar-a-Lago November 20–25 (Thanksgiving)
Buenos Aires November 29 – December 1 (G20)
Iraq-Germany December 26-27

Plus plenty of single day trips for campaigning.

2. When did he last play golf? That's all he cares about. n/t

3. I wish it were true

I wish he would just sit on the back porch of the WH eating Big Macs all day long. At least there are McDonalds in every country around the world, so we don't have to worry about him not getting his daily cholesterol intake.

5. Don't blame Trump for those lies!

He has serious memory deficits, due to his advancing Alzheimer's dementia. Give him the benefit of the doubt.

6. Coming from a serial liar

It really means nothing, unless your a believer he's not a treasonous corrupt career criminal who is presently being exposed for all his crimes soon, and knows its coming. Misinformation , and propaganda from trump and putin is all they've got.

7. The Shutdown will end because Trump wants to play golf again.

That is the only thing that this shutdown has cost him, and it is too much.

8. Better get used to that feeling of confinement.

Just be prepared for a serious downgrade in decor and living space.

10. "I haven't been able to shirk my duties for weeks!"

is what I think he really means.

In the real world, any half-way competent manager with an employee like this would at best be setting up meetings with that employee and HR to see if a medical leave was justified, or in most cases, just cutting that person loose. I'm thinking the real reason we're seeing all these acting positions in the cabinet is that they won't be able to invoke the 25th. Deities know Pence is too far out of it himself to do anything.

11. Seems like he needs to lie like he needs to breathe.

I wish he'd stop.
