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.

If the press were really in a basement at Jupiter Golf Club, they would have drowned by now. It is South Florida, after all.

Donald Trump likes to golf.

Not as much as Obama. How many times had Obama played golf by now?

Elliot Hannon,

You still do not get it. The news is not about the reporters. It is not about you and whiney, bitchy attitude. It is not about your ill-conceived political agenda. Who the hell would want the likes of you in charge? America elected and adult. So, get a lollipop or just suck your thumb and head off to your safe space for a good cry.

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

It’s not a basement. We don’t have basements in Florida.

Not true. I grew up in a house with basement windows. Ever hear of window wells?

“Donald Trump does not like the media.”

Not true, he does not like media the delivers “fake news”. He does however value accurate reporting.

...

And it’s a suite according to the article. The trim work looks nice.

I really don’t think too many people have basements in South Florida, let alone on a barrier island .

That room is being renovated.
Lower left hand corner, those are tools and tool bags. The windows were covered to keep dust and paint off the glass. Common practice on renovation projects.
Such dishonest reporting!

Basement? What the President really needs to add to various facilities he uses are some dungeons.

The plastic over the windows is to protect the privacy of the rest of the people on the golf course. Non-public people don’t want to be subjected to the invasive questioning of the press. The press is a pariah to most people.
