Donald tweeted that he was saving America money by foregoing a stay at his actual apartment in New York Trump Tower and going to his Bedminster NJ "home “ Aka golf club (as if we'd believe he suddenly has a home at a golf club). It wasn't even a nice weekend for golfing.
This weekend the 5 Boro Bike Tour took place in New York City as it has every first Sunday in May for what seems like decades. This is a long established “major major “ event with tens of thousands of bicyclists participating, pedaling on a long route through every borough during which there are massive street closures and colossal traffic problems for those who don't plan ahead, or just cancel their plans and leave town for the weekend. It starts in downtown Manhattan with the entire lower west side shut down. It is impossible to get across to a Hudson River crossing for hours and if you try you will just go around in circles as the police shove you off. It then proceeds north and east with similar results.
Trump’s trip to meet the Aussie PM on Thursday sounded like a last minute plan. I am sure he probably tried to get the bike tour to alter its plans today. Looks like they wouldn't budge even for the “president “ or maybe because of him.
I mean seriously- when Has Trump ever given a flying fig about all the tax payer money he is wasting?
