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

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.

Dang it just burns me up when people use golf in a verb form when the noun case is required. One PLAYS golf. One does not “golf” unless you refer to what is being golfed, i.e. the ball. Journalists - feh!

On the one hand, it’s fake news. On the other hand, I think that the media would be perfectly capable of removing the plastic off a window if they wanted.

Then again, I’ve seen videos of liberals stuck on an escalator during a power outage.

It is about time the press is put in its place. People have to understand the press has been using its power to indoctrinate in perfect rhythm with the entertainment industry and other socialist paradigms for decades.
When Trump undoes the Johnson amendment the press will have an extremely powerful foe working completely against the socialist agenda of the United States press, EI and socialists.

Just for fun.
I would have led them blind folded going up and down stairs.
Like a maze.
Then when they reached the final destination i would take off their blind folds.
After about 10 minutes they would hear a hissing noise and smell a odd smell.
Let them think they were being gassed.
They think he is Hitler,right?

Didn’t the Democrats do something like this? It was reported as being “locked in a closet” or something like that.

To be a good dimwit you must be a liar, a cheater, a thief and a hypocrite.
Oh, and have no shame.

Justly deserved. Read all the bitching comments in the link. Bunch of cry baby children who didn’t get their way. Personally, I don’t blame Trump one bit for “blacking the out”. He gives them with what they deserve, NOTHING!

“at Jupiter Golf Club, they would have drowned by now. It is South Florida, after all.”..

Perhaps that might have been part of the plan had the press opened a door to let the water IN.

Trump needs to bring back the fire side chats. The media can have 10 minutes a month for their stupid questions. Other than that, they can pay their own green fees if they want to follow me around on my golf course. and buy their own plane tickets to get here. The media is not part of the government and will no longer be shuttled around at taxpayer expense to print lies about our leaders. These swamp mosquitoes need a good dose of DDT.

We no longer have firesides, we no longer are tied to radios....... we have cell phones and Tweets.

Tweets are more effective in 2017

"Some walk out ones have big windows."

Most basement windows are small and high up on the walls. If this was a "basement," it appears to have a lot of open air exposure, as if the building was built on a slope and one end of the basement is virtually at ground level on the lower end of the lot.

Basements are extremely rare in Florida, esp by the ocean.
