On Monday, the president reiterated his demand that government employees return to the office with a condemnation of how he thinks they behave.
But many critics responded with one word, “Projection.”
“I happen to be a believer that you have to go to work. I don’t think you can work from home,” Trump told reporters. “I don’t know, it’s like there’s a whole big, ‘Oh, you can work from home.’”
Trump: “I don’t think you can work from a home. Nobody is gonna work from home. They are gonna be going out, they’re gonna play tennis, they’re gonna play golf, they’re gonna do a lot of things. They’re not working.”

“Nobody is gonna work from home. They are gonna be going out, they’re gonna play tennis, they’re gonna play golf, they’re gonna do a lot of things,” continued the president, who during his first term played at least 289 rounds of golf at a cost of more than $150 million to taxpayers.
“They’re not working. It’s a rare person that’s going to work,” Trump added. “You might work 10% of the time, maybe 20%, I don’t think you’re going to work a lot more than that.”
The mocking comments came fast on social media:
Trump has 0 idea what people might actually do with a few extra minutes. Start a load of laundry. Thaw some chicken breast. Pick up kids from school. No-it’s enjoy a round of tennis (on their private backyard court I guess). Play a round of golf at the club for 3 hours. JFC people voted for this.
