Ducks. Ducks are nice. I'm tired of seeing Trump's ugly face.
I haven’t seen this mentioned in a diary yet—thought it merits some attention. I know that compared to the rest of the nastiness about to ensue, this is minor, but it’s got my knickers in a bunch.
According to TPM, from the NYT, Trump says he may only spend weekdays at the White House. The rest of the time he’d like to be in Trump Tower, or Mar-A-Lago, or a New Jersey golf resort. Any of the three it appears.
Many things are wrong with this idea. First, it’s not a 9-5 job, you moron. Second, the Secret Service has enough to do without securing 3 new places, if they are, in fact, securable. (Other people live there.) Third, looks like a lot of money spent in travel. There are many more problems with this little idea, I’m sure.
(In particular, Trump Tower is questionable from a security standpoint. If I remember right, that’s why Nixon bought San Clemente after he took office—so he could get out of the New York apartment.)
But I guess what honks me off most is the sheer ego and gall of the man. It’s not good enough for him, I guess. The house where Lincoln lived. Hell, Kennedy and the Roosevelts were rich—it was good enough for them. Any of us would be honored to live in that house with all its history.
But not Drumpf.
