Tweet of the Day

The distortions of the hate Trump movement are never more obvious than in the reaction to the President’s leaked schedule. The ignorance of history of the current elites is pathetic. Churchill slept late, worked late, took a nap every afternoon ( getting into his pajamas). More

Talk about distortions!  Man, alive.  First of all, there is NO evidence we've been presented that Trump "works late."  For that matter, there isn't really much evidence that he works during the day either, especially given that we've often seen his daily schedule and it's largely empty.  Sleeping late is one thing, if you are, in fact, working late. Further, the issue isn't that Trump sleeps late -- indeed, that doesn't seem to be the case -- but rather that when Trump gets up...he doesn't do anything.  He just seems to lounge around, watching TV and (supposedly) reading the paper, which is more likely skimming to see if his name is written.

Second -- Churchill??  Churchill????!!!  Newt Gingrich is trying to compare Trump to...Churchill?!!!!!  Talk about "pathetic."  Winston Churchill WROTE 30 books on history, many of them acclaimed -- far more than ace historian Gingrich has written, by the way -- and I don't know if Trump has read 30 books. And I'm not being facetious.  Further, many of those books were written by Churchill while in Parliament, and several of his famous and admired books on the history of World War II were written by him while he was Prime Minister the second time, after 1951.

Additionally he was an accomplished artist and turned out many paintings while in office, and published collections of his speeches -- which he himself wrote or delivered extemporaneously.

And he lead England through World War II, and with Franklin Roosevelt helped save the world from Nazism and actually help protect Democracy.

That he took a nap in his pajamas seems a pretty reasonable thing to do, and hardly a substantive point to address, even if you were trying to making meaningless points.  And further, Gingrich is wrong (well, there's a shock) -- Churchill did not "sleep late."  In fact, he started his work day at 8 AM.  That's the reason he took naps, by the way -- because he worked so late, and woke at a normal time, the late afternoon nap was necessary.  In fact, researchers say that taking an afternoon nap is good for one's health.

Meanwhile, Trump watches TV, keeps a short schedule, and plays golf.

Distortions and pathetic, thy name is Newt Gingrich.
