People are slamming Eric Trump after he appeared on Fox News to claim that President Joe Biden and his administration officials are lazy compared to those in his father’s White House.
During his time in office, Trump was infamous for spending large chunks of the day blacked out for “executive time” where he would do little except relax, watch TV, and rant on social media. He also spent a considerable amount of time away from the White House at his Mar-a-Lago country club and other properties at taxpayers’ expense.
But during his interview, Eric Trump tried to re-write history.
“The difference between them and my father, my father sat there 24 hours a day and fought for the United States interest,” Eric Trump said before adding: “These people are not fighting. The’got no energy.”
Naturally, the comments caught the eye of Twitter users, who were quick to set the record straight. Huffington Post correspondent S.V. Dáte called Eric Trump’s comment a lie while pointing out that Donald Trump spent very little time doing work compared to any other chief executive in modern times.
Others piled on:

Unbelievable.
Donald Trump kept the lightest work* schedule of any president going back at least to Reagan, possibly to Eisenhower.
He rarely got to the West Wing before noon.
(*Unless watching TV and tweeting about he just saw is defined as "work.") https://t.co/urg0InwSt8

There was, however, a good deal of golf. Pricey golf, because he insisted on playing it on courses he owned in Florida and New Jersey, requiring seven-figure trips with Air Force 1 and all the rest of the expensive accoutrements. https://t.co/Ms8baxYmip

They’re all so comfortable spouting easily refutable lies now. I find it unnerving & quite ominous.

Just like his father, Eric doesn't seem to care how implausible his lies really are.

Exactly. They just lie about everything, all the time. Trump's daily Schedules showed he never came into the office before lunch and usually left before 4:30. He was a part time President

Absolutely. The more outrageous the lie the better. Neither credibility nor coherence matter.

Plus took vacays every week flying to his business properties where he soaked the feds for cost of rooms, meals, flights, cars and security. Literally millions every week.
