Trump bans coverage of golf outings after media exposes sham working vacation

Trump bans coverage of golf outings after media exposes sham “working vacation”
Donald Trump tried to ban the media from covering his golf outings as he relaxes during his taxpayer-funded vacation, but pictures and video of him goofing off have already surfaced.
By Oliver Willis AUGUST 7, 2017

Donald Trump has banned the media from covering him as he takes a break from his failing presidency to indulge in multiple rounds of golf for the month of August.

While Trump aides have described his escape to this New Jersey golf club as a “working vacation” — and Trump claimed, during a Monday morning Twitter tantrum, that he is “working hard from New Jersey” — the luxury getaway at taxpayer expense has already been exposed.

White House aide and Nazi sympathizer Seb Gorka said in July that Trump was justified in taking off the month of August because he’s been “crushing it” as president.

while the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief and his russian money mobsters* hang out on the golf course playing with their putters, Melania is far, far away. How refreshing for her.

* Roman Abramovich's personal jet landed in Newark at the same time republican Comrade Casino headed to The Freaking Tax-Free republican Goat Farm (aka Bedminster).

"Russian oligarch’s plane flies into New Jersey on same day Donald Trump arrives for golf vacation"

Roman Abramovich (aka Mr. A) according to wiki "was the first person to originally recommend to Yeltsin that KGB operative Vladimir Putin be his successor as the Russian president..."

Wasn't THAT an amazing "excuse!"
And now he's living in a gated community where they probably have landscape services so he can spend his time working on his artwork!

Just like Trump is a better sexual predator than president.

"Lie" being the way the ball sits on the course, not the way the golfer reports his score.

If I implied that Trump would improve his lie on the course, both meanings apply.
