He must be exhausted

This man is pathetic.
About 330pm on December 21, 2018 the President of the U.S. tweeted, as he is wont to do. The tweet included a photo of him sitting behind the Resolute desk, apparently acting resolutely. There is a large stack of folders to his right. He is holding a pen, poised over what is purported to be a piece of legislation.
The President's own words say, "Some of the many Bills that I am signing in the Oval Office right now. Cancelled my trip on Air Force One to Florida while we wait to see if the Democrats will help us to protect America’s Southern Border!"

According to whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions the "many Bills" consisted of all of the following:
(1)Memorandum on the Delegation of Functions and Authorities Under Section 1245 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019
(2)Presidential Memorandum on the Delegation of Functions and Authorities Under Section 1238 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018
(3)Presidential Proclamation to Take Certain Actions Under the African Growth and Opportunity Act and for Other Purposes
(4)EO on Promoting Active Management of America’s Forests, Rangelands, and other Federal Lands to Improve Conditions and Reduce Wildfire Risk
The above is not an opinion nor derived from a talking head on any news broadcast. This information comes directly from the President and the official Whitehouse information center.
Apparently, in the workday of our Chief Executive, "many Bills.." consists of 2 memos, 1 proclamation, and 1 Executive Order. It would appear all those files supposedly containing all the bills he is signing are nothing more than props to delude you into believing he is actually hard at work.
Then again, it would appear this massive workload is sufficient to compel him to cancel one of his trips to Florida. Mar-a-Lago may never recover.
