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.

Sorry, not sorry.

(3,259 posts)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!!!"

(2,830 posts)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.

(10,885 posts)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.
toddwv
(2,830 posts)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.

(2,227 posts)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...

(25,485 posts)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...

(50,543 posts)That shit comes off as the ravings of a maniac. Please tell me Dan Scavino isnt that unhinged.

(6,535 posts)I would happily support him going golfing every single day for the rest of his tenure; especially if it keeps him from tweeting (and away from trying to "govern"
