Trumpspeak is claiming he’s saving money by playing golf (in comparison to what), although since he wanted his tomb on the Trump Bedminster golf course, who are we to deny him a look at his worm trough.
Trump-bots insist that even though Trump will eclipse PBO leisure spending soon, it’s cheaper than the other two places owned by Trump where he spends his time.
But it’s not cheaper than actually being where he’s supposed to be in DC and using “his” golf course in VA. Perhaps if the GOP Congress sells him the White House, he might spend more time there.
Donald Trump and Dmitry Rybolovlev are in NJ at the same time ...To be clear, Rybolovlev has not been sitting in his plane for the past ten days; he’s presumably out and about somewhere around Newark. And there are no indication that Rybolovlev is at Donald Trump’s golf course, or that the two have met up. This could indeed be just another coincidence where the Russian-aligned U.S. president, and a Russian oligarch who lives on the other side of the world, just happen to both be in New Jersey. But if so, these coincidences sure do keep happening.
And in other stunts ...
The tombstone was ordered from a Brooklyn-based company, and turned up on Easter Sunday in Central Park.
"It's the day Jesus was resurrected, and the point is to have Trump remember his legacy," the artist, who would not disclose his name, said at the time. "There are some poetic ties."
Brian Whiteley, 33, was named by The New York Times as being the man behind the stunt.

Then-candidate Trump made bashing China for alleged currency manipulation a cornerstone of his stump speeches last year. But Kushner, aided by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, has taken a more conciliatory position as he heads up negotiations between the new administration and Beijing.
Ahead of a meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping last month, Chinese negotiators reportedly focused on securing U.S. agreement to stay out of issues like human rights in Tibet, along with support for key Chinese foreign and development policies, in exchange for increased Chinese investment in the U.S. economy, according to The Washington Post.
That line seems to echo the views of some within the Trump administration, with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson telling State Department staff last week, “If we condition too heavily that others just adopt this value we have come to over a long history of our own, it really creates obstacles to our ability to advance on our national security interests, our economic interests.”
Asked about potential conflicts of interest on Saturday, Nicole Kushner refused to speak with reporters, according to a tweet from New York Times China correspondent Javier Hernández.
