Trump arrives at Florida golf club as hundreds of thousands march on Washington for gun control

Source: The Hill




BY AVERY ANAPOL - 03/24/18 12:55 PM EDT

President Trump arrived at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida as hundreds of thousands of students gathered in Washington, D.C. to call on him to act on gun control.

The president is spending the weekend at Mar-a-Lago, his private beach club in Palm Beach, Fla. and went to the Trump golf club just miles away on Saturday morning, according to White House pool reports.

The White House did not say whether the president was golfing. Saturday marks the 102nd day he has spent at one of his golf properties, and 136th he has spent at one of his properties since taking office.

Except he pays luxury gourmet prices for a steak that he then eats cooked to shoe leather and smothered in ketchup.

He took the long way to ensure he didn't see the protests. Fucking coward.

President Trump took the scenic route after spending Saturday at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Fla., ensuring he didn’t pass any demonstrators calling for stronger gun laws as part of the nationwide March for Our Lives.

Scores of people had lined the motorcade’s usual path, which has been well-traveled by the president as he shuttles between his Mar-a-Lago estate and the Trump International Golf Club during weekend visits here. They held signs blasting the National Rifle Assn. and supporting a ban on assault weapons.

But returning to Mar-a-Lago from the club on Saturday afternoon, Trump’s motorcade took a longer route, crossing a different bridge into Palm Beach and then driving down Ocean Boulevard. There were striking views of the blue water and palatial estates, but no protesters could be spotted.
