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

That is so true. And that isn’t the reason and the idiot knows it. They are just like little children throwing a tantrum because they aren’t getting what they want. And of course, they use the American people as their reason when in fact they could give a darn about the American people

Then the press will say, “Paid members blocked from their own tee times due to Trump!”
Never a peep about how King Obama deprives the military when he takes over a golf course for the day.

They want that picture of him playing golf so bad, so that they can use it everyday for the next 8 years.

I don't recall a pool of journalists being on hand when Bill was diddling interns.

Bill was simply ahead of his time. The California legislature has now legalized this sort of thing. The younger the better it would seam

I never joined in criticism of Obama for playing golf.

When politicians of any stripe are playing golf they aren’t trying to “improve” or “fix” the world.

They spend less money on the golf course than at work.

Frankly, I’ve long said that we should REQUIRE all members of Congress to play a round every day ... with those in leadership having to play a round twice every day. With added clarification that “a round” is two words of course.

Notice how AP posted the amount of secret service Trump has?.....I truly believe the AP is mistaken. Some were SS and the best, er REST, were private Security.

There is nothing stopping Trump from twittering from the golf course.

They better get used to it. Maybe get some MRE’s for their briefcases as they hang around waiting for him to show up again.

Remember, we are supposed to be horrified at Trump’s actions, rather than wondering why ABC News continues to exist.
