White House insists Trump will have a 'full schedule' -- then he shows up at the golf course

President Donald Trump on Wednesday morning insisted that he would spend his day taking meetings and working phones — but just hours later, he drove to one of his own Florida golf courses.

Earlier on Wednesday, Trump tweeted that he was keeping a busy schedule, despite the fact that it was the day before a national holiday.




However, MSNBC’s Kyle Griffin noted that pool reports show Trump showed up at his Florida Trump International Golf Club less than three hours later.




Additionally, the White House sent out a missive to reporters demanding that they report Trump had a full schedule on Wednesday.

containing a long letter to the editor decrying Pres. Obama's vacation, flying to the vacation and playing golf on the vacation. I wonder what that same outraged taxpayer is writing about tRump's golfing habits. Okay, I don't really wonder. I know. Nothing

Is it the russians who make them do this? Or is the moral rot in the repube party so deep that the lies to Americans are automatic?

if he actually has to work more than that, it's too taxing for him. After all, he's the macho He Man that needed a golf cart to keep up with the walking 65 year old Angela Merkel.

This guy and all his sycophantic cronies will become a mystifying aberration in the history books.

The only question for us living through this moronic pile of manure is how soon does he resign?

I hope Mueller is working today!

10. Roman Abramovich yacht is docked in Palm Beach...

... "The yacht is owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, the former governor of Russia’s Arctic region, who has parlayed his Kremlin connections into oil and steel businesses that made him a multi-billionaire.

“There’s no oligarch among those still accepted in the West who’s closer and more trusted by Putin than Abramovich,” Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a former Russian oil magnate, told Bloomberg news."

... "A prominent Russian oligarch with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin has docked his 500-foot yacht in the Port of Palm Beach, just days before President Trump makes his way to Mar-a-Lago.

Roman Abramovich docked the yacht, which is estimated to be worth between $400 and $500 million, at the port on Friday afternoon, and is expected to stay until Dec. 5, according to The Palm Beach Post."

And, btw: the upward trajectory of the major indices remains very close to the same generalized slope value as the prior 72 months.

So, the market hasn't gotten any better than it would have anyway.

The gain in market value is on the same trajectory it was for 50 months prior to the election. The gain in value has nothing to do with "it".

Mixed in-between should be video clips of Trump complaining about how much Obama golfed while President. It has to be Fox News-like, or the average American just won't get it.

He doesn't care about the pictures of him golfing, it wont be shown on faux, while they will talk about the tweets. It's a show for the idiotic true believers and a poke in the eye to everyone else, and he'd shove it up ours butts if we let him. Ewww, so gross.
