Can't help himself

It's pathological.
“You know, one of the things that people don’t understand — we have signed more legislation than anybody,” the president said [yesterday] in remarks to roughly four dozen first responders at a firehouse in West Palm Beach, Florida. “We broke the record of Harry Truman.”

It is true that Trump had signed more bills in his first 100 days than any president since Truman, but as Trump nears the anniversary of his Jan. 20 inauguration, he is far removed from his 100th day. And he has now signed the fewest number of bills into law of any first-year president dating back to Dwight Eisenhower, according to a recent report from the website GovTrack.

[...]

And, according to GovTrack, Trump has signed fewer bills at this point in his presidency than George W. Bush had — and less than half as many bills as Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush had at this point.

Well, that's a record of its own.
“I believe we have — and you’ll have to ask those folks, but I think they know the real answer,” Trump said, apparently referring to the media. “We have more legislation passed, including — the record was Harry Truman. That’s a long time ago. And we broke that record. So we have a lot done.”
I'm confused. I thought the media were liars. Fake News?
Trump’s visit had not previously been announced — the president’s schedule had no public events listed. He spent about five hours at Trump International Golf Club, where he presumably hit the links on Wednesday.

[...]

Trump had tweeted Monday night that he hopes “everyone is having a great Christmas,” adding that “tomorrow it’s back to work in order to Make America Great Again (which is happening faster than anyone anticipated)!”

[...]

On Tuesday, Trump spent about four hours playing golf with Sen. David Perdue of Georgia, professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau and former pro golfer Dana Quigley.


...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
