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.

He also gets work done WHILE he plays. Bonds are forged on golf courses.

Obama always played golf with his friends and celebrities. Never recall him playing golf with Boehner or any foreign leader.

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

In the house I grew up in, the first floor was up a flight of about eight or ten steps. The "basement" was more-or-less at ground level. (The door to the basement was in the back yard, and you only had to go down two or three steps to get to the door.) The basement windows were just about at eye level (looking out from the basement), and were about 12-16 inches above the base of the outside wall.

My point is that the word "basement" can suggest a dark, subterranean room, almost a dungeon, whereas many basements are fairly exposed, well-illuminated, and even pleasant.

Hmmm ... black plastic is on inside of those windows. Could this blocking have been done by the "press" to heighten their fake news slant to all things Trump.

Obama did play golf with Boehner at least once after which Boehner gave in on something else that Obama wanted.

I heard Obama is a horrid golfer, I think he golfed on weekends because it gave him easy access to smoke dope and not get caught.

I heard you're a a jackass - I heard that's NOT fake news

Yikes my arse! Those lying bas-turds should be prosecuted under RICO statutes for conspiring to foment anarchy and overthrow our LAWFULLY elected CIC. Instead of a blacked-out basement they all should be in prison.

The Newsers act like children and the Donald treats them like children ... the Newsers are not amused!

These pukes are propagandists for the Marxists, Democrats, Socialists, Communists, Progressives, and globalists who are conspiring to overthrow our Constitutional Republic. Every single one of them should either be doing hard time in prison or executed.

You can cover The Trumpster from the nearest public road.

And that’s exactly what Trump should have one of his staff inform them, and then have them escorted off his property by the Secret Service.

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

If you grew up in Florida, your basement certainly was a well...

I believe he golfed a lot because he thought is pissed off whitey to see a black man on the golf course. Twisted thinker that he was.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The moron should have known that wouldn’t work because he isn’t a black man, he’s actually a mulatto.

“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.

Would have been spoiled if they'd removed the black plastic from the glass door first...what a sight they'd see!

Indy my man, Indy. Although I did live in Tampa for about 5 years. Best redeeming quality of living in FLA.?

Riding the bike in January.

Well, winter in general. Although, my Solar water heater panels (came with the house) chose the time I was back up north, to freeze and break and run up my water bill when I wasn’t even there.

Never did like those things. Hot water was NEVER hot.

But up here in the midwest; basements are necessary (tornados), and doable.
