Another lost weekend with taxpayers double-paying the golf-playing Trump, except there’ll be several Russian and American oligarchs around… And why isn’t MSM finding out who’s attending the events at Mar-a-Lago, because it surely can’t be the case that any of the 70 new foreign workers are doing espionage.
Trump needs these “low-key” holidays, despite lying about what he’s doing, because he truly believes he’ll get out of Biglygate by pardoning people.
More interesting is with whom Trump played golf this morning and why the press cannot find out that fact, because it genuinely is in the public interest in the absence of visitor logs, especially since the Russian “fertilizer king” played in the foursome with Trump and Japanese PM Abe when the latter visited Maralago.
The press were not invited in, having been safely stowed away “at a public library across the street”. From that vantage point the media were unable to spot Trump himself.
But it seems likely the president was enjoying a round of golf.
Before taking office, Trump frequently criticised Barack Obama for his golfing habit, tweeting three years ago: “Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the US, President Obama spent the day playing golf. Worse than Carter.”
But according to analysis by Politifact, Trump’s time on the green has far outstripped that of his predecessor. The fact-checking website estimates that Obama played 24 times from his inauguration to 13 November 2009, while Trump has chalked up 35 outings.
Aug 5, 2017 - Abramovich's plane arrived at Newark Airport within a few hours of Trump's own arrival at that same New Jersey airport for his golf vacation ...
That’s because Trump has nothing to do with Russians.
And he certainly has nothing to do with the Putin-chummy Russian oligarch with the mega-yacht that just docked in the Port of Palm Beach … um,er … other than the longstanding friendship Abramovich and his wife, Dasha Zhukova, have had with Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner.
But it’s not like Ivanka and Jared ever traveled to Russia to be entertained by that Russian oligarch and his wife. OK, except for the four-day trip three years ago. But it’s not like the Russian couple ever came to America to hang out with … OK, yes, there’s that photo of Ivanka sitting next to Dasha at last year’s U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York. Probably fake news.
The point is, President Trump knows about as much about Russia as Alabama’s Judge Roy Moore knows about women his age, and it’s really unfair that people keep making Russian connections with Trump, who has nothing to do with Russians.
So it would be really terrible for a Russian oligarch’s submarine to suddenly to go up-periscope for a little Thanksgiving pop in at Mar-a-Lago.
People might get the wrong idea.
Which is why in the interest of national security, we all need to keep an eye out for submarine traffic in the Intracoastal Waterway. And if you do see one heading for Mar-a-Lago, report it to the Coast Guard so it can be stopped from reaching Trump.
It’s important. President Trump needs to preserve his flawless record of having nothing to do with Russians.
