Trump Ditches Media for Golf Game

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

Glad to learn that our PEOTUS is enjoying some R & R.

Question, as it seems all GOP presidents spend vacations at their own “homes”.

Who was the last Dem president who had their own “getaway” place? Clinton surely didn’t. Spent vacations at the Vineyard and places donated to him. I don’t think Carter did, but may have had a farm in Plains. Didn’t Johnson have a ranch in TX?

The Clintons changed so much about this country.

My son and his family are with friends right now in NYC....yesterday they went to Trump Tower. My son posted on FB last night how tight the security was there.....I told him I was very happy to hear it! He also said he asked if my grandsons could get a picture with some of the guys pulling security and they told him no! Said no pictures allowed with them...they were firm but very respectful. On another note...has anybody else noticed whenever they show Trump walking somebody out after a meeting, he asks the press pool if they got....water, coffee, are you comfortable, warm enough, etc? I have noticed Trump do this on a few occasions. I can’t ever recall another POTUS or PEOTUS doing that. Even after all the crap the press has pulled on Trump, he is very cordial to them. #MAGA....I can’t wait for Jan 20th!!!

George Bush was very cordial to his staff, the military and I imagine he would have treated the media the same way. We hear a lot about the things he did wrong but not so much about the things he did right.

“..without a pool of journalists on hand to ensure the public has knowledge of his whereabouts.”

Where does this appear in the Constitution? Are there reporters in his bedroom to ensure the public of his whereabouts? How about when Trump takes a dump? If there are 25 Secret Service Agents around him, is that not validity to his whereabouts?

The MSM have inflated their responsibility and their responsibility to the American people.

Remember that on presser Trump called the media awful...the one media member asked if he was awful. Trump said no...then another media asked if this was going to be what a Trump White House would be like....Trump said yes.

Yes, I do recall George Bush being cordial to his staff, and esp to the Military. You could tell he had great respect and love for the Military. And I also got the impression he treated his staff with a lot of respect. I honestly don’t recall him being on Mic asking reporters if they got water, coffee, warm enough, etc. Not saying he didn’t, but I just don’t recall him or any of the others doing it with the reporters.

Trump should put out info that he intends to golf in Hawaii on , but then change it at the last minute to in the US. Let the "press" spend money needlessly by flying their idiot reporters to Hawaii.

oops, forgot about the keyboard characters in HTML.

Trump should put out info that he intends to golf in Hawaii on (a date), but then change it at the last minute to (golf course B) in the US. Let the “press” spend money needlessly by flying their idiot reporters to Hawaii.

I've noticed that Trump has not invited Obama to
to play on one of his golf courses and enjoy the
amenities his golf clubs have to offer.
I think Obama feels slighted and hurt. Bwhaaaaaaaaa!
I bet Trump would tell him to purchase a membership if he wants to play.
(If he is even gets accepted for membership.)

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

So far Obama has played 306 rounds in his presidency. The comments over at the end of the link include heads exploding. PEOTUS Trump has not played a single round as POTUS. And heads. Exploding.

I love it.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but Donald Trump ain’t on the payroll. Starting on January 20, 2017 he is. Right now he’s a private citizen. On January 20th, 2017, THEN fly down his neck. He’s a government employee then and not before.
