He won't be long on the links. Poor Donald.

Although we have to give him credit for giving the Trump International Golf Club the proper reverence that the Ainse Marne American Cemetery never received.

Probably would make some of the evangelical base take more notice than, say, a KFC related coronary would.

Sorry, not sorry.

If he is on the course he is probably just talking shit from the golf cart. Yelling at other golfers and staff "No collusion, no obstruction!!!"

He probably has to update a couple people on the current situation. Russian oligarchs, maybe the SS will catch another Chinese "spy" running around Mar-a-Lago.

that's 30% less damage he would have done had he been on the job 100%. We have to appreciate our victories in small doses.

He doesn't make any meaningful decisions. His people put everything together and he just signs it. Sure, he goes of half-cocked and says that he's doing this and that but that just means it's time for his people to scramble and pull him back from the edge.

16. Two things...
Fri Apr 19, 2019, 11:54 AM
Apr 2019

1. SOMEONE needs to tally up the total $ amount that has went straight into turdface's pocket, due to requiring all his Secret Service, and other assorted tagalongs, to stay at one of his properties while he golfs, tweets, is on "executive time". Then add to that a total $ amount of foreign entities trying to curry favor with him. Then add total $ from all the assorted GOP ass lickers.

His whole presidency has been about lining his pockets with enough cash to live at the level of a Russian style oligarch. It was all about branding. Too bad that took a nasty turn for the worse.

2. On which of his vacation trips will he take off from DC, with little Don, Jarvanka and Eric, and land in Saudi Arabia? Never to return. (I think Putin is getting close to the "I'm over you" stage. And as we have seen, Putin doesn't suffer fools...)

He has his own private plane... Reporters should be keeping an eye on when it gets fueled up.

Hopefully he will try to pull this stunt in Air Force One, which, due to all the top secret electronics on it, can NEVER be allowed to be taken by a foreign country, and must be shot down...

We PAY this asshole to vacation at his own hotel. IIRC it’s $3 million a year he’s costing us.

We usually go for a walk or play with the dogs. Maybe do a puzzle. Something to get her mind off whatever she's focusing on at the moment. Most of the time I can't tell and she won't tell me.

Someone should investigate, since don't all these twitters end up being part of records?

You can only tell, if they have the device settings on...

I remember when he tweeted something guilty, and then his lawyer came out and said he tweeted it really, and not trump
M$M just let that story go...they are part of the reason we have Trump...they are complicit...
