is outrageous given what he said about Obama playing golf, the more he is playing the less he is doing and saying stupid bullshit in the white house...

These golf trips are not cheap. Should the govt pay for golf when the govt is shut down

He will not suddenly give up grifting just because the government shuts down. He'll go off and let congress sort it out. It's not like he wants to be involved in the procedure. McConnell will tell him when the final bill is ready, and he will sign it. All he is capable of is sending out tweets about how crooked and obstinate the Dems are being.

When that final bill is ready for his signature, he will tweet about how he forced congress to come to an agreement to end the shutdown. Mark my words. HE WILL CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR ENDING THE SHUTDOWN. His base will applaud and shove his tweet in our faces. His cabinet will have an asslicking meeting. Then we will move on to the next terror.

He can go through the same sort of lay-off as all the others - with the lack of pay while off the job.

The shut down episode had the white house cutting back on services. Should the govt pay for trump to play golf

It pisses me off that we have to pay for his golf outings, but I would rather have him on the golf course than anywhere near the levers of power, especially in a crisis situation.
