WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump escaped the chill of Washington and his impeachment on Friday to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s in sunny Florida with family and friends.

One thing he isn’t celebrating is the delay in his Senate impeachment trial.

It’s got him “mad as hell,” according to one ally.

The Senate adjourned until January with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic leader Chuck Schumer unable to agree on trial procedure. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said she wants to know how the trial will be handled before she sends two House-passed articles of impeachment against Trump to the Senate.

Trump, who flew to his private Palm Beach resort late Friday, has been looking forward to a trial in the friendlier Republican-controlled Senate and is riled up about the delay, according to Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who is close to the president.

1. I hate his tiny little fist gesture...

is it supposed to make him look tough.

[dewsgirl]

3. Maybe, at least it's an explanation for that ridiculous fist

thing he does.

[Ohiogal]

4. I remember when

GOPers went ballistic over the Obamas' fist-bumping.....

[CatMor]

9. The right wing idiots made it out to be a terrorist fist bump .. ..

right wing republican stupidity always amazes me.

[PatSeg]

10. That

and his repulsive thumbs up. Both look vulgar.

[CatMor]

11. With his fake veneered teeth smile ..

I would like to snap that thumb off.

[PatSeg]

13. Oh my god

That's what I say when I see him do it! And pointing at people. Didn't anyone ever teach him it is rude to point at people? Such a crude, uncivilized man.

For someone who is self-conscious about the size of his hands, he sure does use them excessively.

[CatMor]

14. It is obvious his parents never sent him to charm school.

[PatSeg]

17. Obviously

I wonder what kind of manners the rest of his family had. Maybe they were all crude and vulgar.

[CatMor]

20. I think maybe his father Fred was like him .

never hear or see much about his brothers and sister. His son Donnie Jr. Is as disgusting and crude as his daddy. I dislike Jr as much as his father.

[PatSeg]

23. I'm sure his siblings

would have some interesting stories to tell about what went on in that household. In spite of the money, they appear to have lacked any kind of class or dignity.

Yeah, Junior is pathetic. Raised by a man with daddy issues to become another man with daddy issues. An endless cycle apparently.

[Ohiogal]

16. He acts just like a mafia don.

He thinks those mannerisms make him look like a tough guy.

He is so lacking in manners, sophistication, and intelligence, he embarrasses us as a nation.

[PatSeg]

18. He seems to have gotten worse

as he gotten older. A younger Donald Trump seemed somewhat refined in comparison. Video of him from the eighties look like a different person. He was still an arrogant jerk, but he didn't come across as so vulgar and crude.

[Ohiogal]

19. And, sadly, that's what his supporters love about him.

“He tells it like it is”!

Translation...

“He has all the same bigoted and ignorant opinions that I do”!

[PatSeg]

22. True

He gives them permission to be hateful and mean-spirited.

[dalton99a]

2. Nice of him to take the Slovenian escort's family

[Botany]

5. "Slovenian escort"

I prefer Slovenian Sex Worker.

BTW that poor kid having to dress like that on a Friday night
BTW part 2 that long red tie doesn't hide his gut

[Submariner]

6. A lot of rain and lightning in the forecast for PB County on Sunday

He will probably try to sneak in some golf to cheat the suckers he golfs with, so maybe with a lucky lightning strike we'll see Pence sworn in on Xmas Day.

[dalton99a]

7. +1

[empedocles]

8. traitortrump can run - but he can't hide

[DavidDvorkin]

12. I'm sure he deserves a break

After working for the American people night and day without a moment's thought of himself.

[Sugar Smack]

15. It looks like Barron is staring straight at his father's little fist.

I'm not completely crazy, am I?

[olddad65]

21. Trump is the chill in Washington.

[Mc Mike]

24. He deserves a vacay. He's such a hard worker.

[BlueIdaho]

25. This photo has me wondering...

Just exactly who was Barron’s dad?

[Skittles]

27. I bet it just IRKS him that Barron is now TOWERING over him

[forgotmylogin]

29. Barron knows how to get a necktie to the proper length. (n/t)

[Skittles]

26. holiday from WHAT?

the fucker DOES NOT WORK

[brush]

28. Wonder if he'll golf? He hasn't since the hospital visit.

Hmmmmm?

[onenote]

30. Wrong.

He played golf in Florida on November 30. He probably played several other times during his Thanksgiving trip to Florida. He hadn't played a round since October 26 which is consistent with his pattern in 2017 and 2018 -- once it starts getting colder in late October/early November, he stops playing unless he's in Florida.

31. He's certainly not playing as much.

[onenote]

32. Not really that different.

Again, check https://trumpgolfcount.com/displayoutings

He generally doesn't play much once the weather changes. This year he was at his club in either Virginia or Florida for 10 golf days in October and November (and is confirmed to have played five times). In 2018 he was at one of his clubs for 7 days in October and November (and is confirmed to have played four times). He didn't play at all in December 2018. He just got to Florida so its too early to say how his golf count this year will compare.
