President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yes but if you or I want to visit a golf course on the spur of the moment, we can be dressed and out the door in 10 minutes tops. Even with Trump's, let's say, casual approach to security, there's a bunch of people that have to get into place and that isn't an instant process. Better just to have it on campus, so to speak. And you should be able to develop a stunning course in that location.

 

Engaging @YankeeFan: the Internet equivalent of talking to a door that insists it's a window.

 

Wait, it "impacts" (geez, you're a writer?) how he functions as president?

So, it's not simply about hypocrisy?

Please describe how it "impacts" how he functions, and please compare and contrast that with how it "impacted" how the former president functioned.

 

LOL. What does that even mean?

 

And it also highlights that he'd rather spend taxpayer money on his own personal golf trips than spend it on things for taxpayers, such as Meals on Wheels and PBS.

 

Like I just said, in one breath, he says there isn't enough money for Meals on Wheels and PBS. But in the next breath, there's plenty of money for him to play golf.

 

Now you know how the rest of us feel.

 

With regard to Camp David, unless I'm mistaken the President normally takes a helicopter there, so time and traffic is not a factor.

 

With Trump Appointees, a Raft of Potential Conflicts and ‘No Transparency’

"In at least two cases, the appointments may have already led to violations of the administration’s own ethics rules. But evaluating if and when such violations have occurred has become almost impossible because the Trump administration is secretly issuing waivers to the rules."

 

It's not a story because journalists are not the most sympathetic group, and people (who aren't in the business) don't want to hear the media complain about its plight.

 

Well yeah actually it was, as paart of the generalized bitching about his annoying habit of Breathing While Negro.

And of course playing basketball is a particualarly Negro activity. Although not as uppity as playing golf.
