Trump takes route to Mar-a-Lago that misses Tax March protesters

Source: The Hill


President Trump on Saturday reportedly took a longer route than usual on his way back to his Mar-a-Lago resort in what reporters said appeared to be an attempt to avoid large crowds of Tax March protesters.

According to pool reports, Trump's motorcade made a long loop to get back to Mar-a-Lago after leaving Trump International Golf Club around 1:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, reporters traveling separately in press vans that continued on the shorter route back to the luxury resort immediately encountered "hundreds of protesters" demanding the president release his tax returns.

One White House reporter tweeted a video of the route full of protesters.




Reporters said some of those marching carried signs reading "Show Me the Money," and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Czar, Putin Put You Where You Are."

There's no way Trump could have avoided them then.
Maybe would have slowed down his game a little bit.

In an episode of The Sopranos, the NYC mob boss, (Carmine Lupatazi?), after playing a round of golf with Tony & the boys, chokes on an egg salad sandwich, and ends up in the hospital......(Not that I would ever wish that such a thing might someday happen to Drumpf)

"Twinkle Twinkle Little Czar, Putin Put You Where You Are"....That's hilarious!

(That should be the "war cry" for all future anti-Trump rallies & protests, imo)

so why does he not just resign now and avoid the embarrassment of losing the next election and or being impeached?

Putin will call in his loans if d'rump doesn't make good on his promise to do everything he can to disable the executive branch, and probably the scotus.

The congress has already been bought and paid for. Threats of penury, perjury, and pictures with prostitutes. Pathetic!

trying to keep up the deception he is really in charge and a reincarnation of the Romanov family. We know how that turned out.

to Mar-a-lago are not normal? If anyone is keeping track (and many people are doing that) it has to reach a tipping point where even the most ardent fan will balk at the price we taxpayers have paid for his whims. Calling it the Southern White House doesn't change the facts that this buffoon is spending (wasting) millions of dollars every time he jets down there.

I guess what galls me the most is when they play the video clip of him on the campaign trail saying he will be "working his ass off at the White House. Who would even want to leave? I won't ever see Doral again because I will be so busy working."

Have I mentioned lately how much I despise tRump?
