Trump Sticks Press in Basement With Blacked Out Windows While He Golfs
Slate ^ | February 11, 2017 | Elliot Hannon

Posted on 02/12/2017 4:49:06 AM PST by Zakeet

Donald Trump likes to golf. He owns golf courses around the world, after all. Donald Trump does not like the media. We know this because he talks about it, he tweets about it, and he likely dreams about it. This weekend, the president took another break from Washington, D.C. and headed south to Mar-a-Lago. On Saturday, Trump suited up to play a round of golf with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

But what to do with the press while you’re teeing off?

Trump's press corps has been placed in a basement suite at Jupiter golf club.

Yikes. Needless to say, that seems a bit extreme.

"Basements don’t have windows. Fake news"

In Trump's world the basements are "Yuge" so they end up above ground, so of course they have windows" ;-)

Most all the basement I know of and that is hundreds have some type of windows.

Some walk out ones have big windows.

Perhaps it was Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s idea to treat them like the mushrooms that they are. Their fungus would have surely disrupted the game, because there is not a scintilla of decorum between them.

Trump was doing them a favor. Vampires die when exposed to sunlight.

“It’s not even a basement. It looks like a ground floor.”

Yup, the doors are a giveaway, unless the place is landscaped for one side of the basement to be at ground level.

Agreed. This is Florida. We don’t have basements in Florida. Maybe in a dozen or so houses near the GA border, but near the water, no way is there a basement.

Black plastic over basement windows is the only known cure for anthrax.

Nice of the press to leave the plastic on the windows and doors, since it was on the same side of the wall as they were...

Black Plastic Matters

LOL! Somebody ought to tweet that to the bunch of whining babies ......#BlackPlasticMatters

They lie about everything Trump does already - I guess he doesn’t want them lying about his golf game & I don’t blame him.

Me, too. I laughed so hard as I read the headline. They are in time out...but the press will not learn a thing from all of this.

It would have been a better photo if there was a toilet in view.
