The contrast between Parties on the issue is staggering, with Republicans continuing to deny reality to tell us that Trump is a hard-working American patriot. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

According to a new poll, 50% of people in the United States actually believe that Donald Trump is by far the laziest president that they have seen in their lifetimes. Only 25% of people polled believe that Donald Trump has somehow done more work than the presidents that came before him. And, only look at it along party lines, it turns out that Republicans are far more likely to believe that Donald Trump has done more work than his predecessors than independents or Democrats, and possibly because, according to the polls, the way the media presents the information. For example, CNN and MSNBC are far more likely to talk about the fact that Donald Trump took more vacations during his first 12 months in office than any of his predecessors than, say, Fox News.
So therefore, Fox News viewers, who typically are Republican, don't actually know what's happening with the President of the United States. This comes down to an information problem. Those who understand that Donald Trump took over 100 vacation days out of 365 working days, they know that he's not doing anything. Those who choose to bury their heads in the sand like Fox News viewers don't understand what's actually happening in this country, so they are more likely to think that, yeah, Donald Trump is doing a great job. He's working hard. He's a hard-working patriot. Really? What has he even accomplished other than signing this tax cut bill? Even if he was working every day, he would still basically be the laziest president that we have had in modern history.
