President-elect Donald Trump has ditched his press pool once again — this time traveling to play golf at his club in Jupiter, Florida, without a pool of journalists on hand to ensure the public has knowledge of his whereabouts.

A club member posted a photo on Twitter of Trump on the greens Saturday morning and said the president-elect was accompanied by about 25 U.S. Secret Service agents. Reporters had not been advised of the visit.

Transition aide Stephanie Grisham confirmed that Trump had made a "last minute trip" to Trump National Golf Club Jupiter, which is about a half-hour drive from the Mar-a-Lago estate, where Trump has been spending the holidays

Remember when the Press used to get all tingly and excited when Obama did this?

The Bear is loose, they’d say approvingly.

Good times.

Bill was diddling the lady pressers also. Professional courtesy from the males and fake males not to report.
Billy was banging the Mondale daughter so all is good.

Notice how AP posted the amount of secret service Trump has? They never did with obama.

“President-elect Donald Trump has ditched his press pool once again — this time traveling to play golf at his club in Jupiter, Florida, without a pool of journalists on hand to ensure the public has knowledge of his whereabouts. “


so the press is complaining Trump did not inform them he was playing golf in Jupiter, Florida so they could inform the press of his whereabouts in a story where they are reporting Trump is playing golf in Jupiter, Florida...

this time traveling to play golf at his club

Just think of this, wherever Trump vacations or plays golf during the next 4 years, it will be at his own resorts on his own dime.......

> Stern editorial in 20-pt Comic Sans bold font coming from the Washington Post.

Thank you! One does not see font jokes often. I would but quibble with one point (and I don’t mean 21 vs 20 pt); rather, the font would not be bold, but slanted.

In 1841, Thomas Carlyle wrote, “Burke said there were Three Estates in Parliament; but, in the Reporters’ Gallery yonder, there sat a Fourth Estate more important far than they all” (On Heroes and Hero Worship). Four years earlier, Carlyle had used the phrase in his French Revolution: “A Fourth Estate, of Able Editors, springs up, increases and multiplies; irrepressible, incalculable.”

The “Fourth estate” has become puffed-up and self-important beyond its real value. It tells us its 1st amendment rights trump our rights.
Trump is going to remind them of their proper function: to report news. And he will teach them to stop trying to tell us what to think, if rejection at the polls, fewer and fewer viewers, falling subscription and advertising revenues aren’t enough

[Every time Trump plays a round, look for the media to trash him for it.]

No doubt they are counting the number of rounds he plays.
