Discussion: Trump Tweet: I’m Saving US Money By Staying At My Private Golf Club

I read this and then thought, I’m almost as dumb as he is for clicking on it.

This is OT but I have a question: When I contribute to someone’s campaign (like Ossoff or Quist), I am then IMMEDIATELY deluged with more emails. Last night I gave some money and within two hours, received two more emails. I then unsubscribed. This is, imo, a TERRIBLE way to fundraise; basically harangue people to death. Any suggestions on how to give and not be pestered or annoyed as hell?

How long before “aging, reclusive dictator” becomes adjectivally attached to “Donald Trump?”

Maybe we ought to put the White House on Airbnb during the weekends for as little as Trump uses it.

Unfortunately, we won’t get top dollar due to those Cheeto stains on the carpet that just won’t come out.

Camp David, Camp David is set up for a secure respite. Mar-A-Lago is not!

You know how you can really save this country money, PeePee? Stay in the fucking White House instead of traveling to NY in the first place! Your butt buddies threw you a kegger on the WH lawn yesterday to celebrate the planned murder of tens of thousands of Americans and you left town for a photo op on an aircraft carrier. If you’re so enamored of all things military, you could have, ya know, actually shown up when you were drafted instead of claiming some bullshit bone spurs!

Mrs. Von Holst contributed to the NRDC shortly after the inauguration. They send funding requests in the mail regularly, but mostly, they call us on our land line 2-3 times a day. We have caller ID and we just ignore the calls. They are a very good environmental organization and do a lot of good work. We will continue to regularly contribute at our own pace. The NRDC deserves both our support and forgiveness.

What would it cost if he stayed at the White House and put in some fucking overtime like everyone else with a full plate and too few available hours between Monday & Friday to get it all done?

Send a money order to their physical address, no return address on the envelope, no ID on the check.

Did they figure in the effect of massive disenfranchisement of “those people”, and gerrymandering?

He failed to mention that Mar-a-lago is closing for the season and won’t reopen until Halloween. He really does think we’re stupid.

"President Trump’s trips to Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Palm Beach, have been so regular that last week a website dedicated to tracking his visits was launched.

But they may be coming to an end soon—at least until the fall. The main club closes for the season on Mother’s Day, May 14. While the president could certainly visit after that (he has a private wing in the house), it seems unlikely that he would continue to go after much of the staff has left for the season."

Aside from lightning(1), are there any other life threatening hazards to be found on golf courses with a high degree of frequency? Just wondering?

(1)According to ready.gov’s section on “Thunderstorms & Lightning,” lightning continues to be one of the top three storm-related causes of fatality in the U.S, causing 51 deaths on average per year.

His whole shtick is just one giant ad for his golf club and other businesses. The mere mention of Mar-a-Lago improves its brand and increases its membership. He calls Putin, Erdogan and Duterte not for any legitimate foreign policy reason but to promote his business properties or potential businesses or gain business advantage in those countries. He has nothing to offer the American people by way of knowledge or experience.

He is the ultimate opposite of JFK’s famous inaugural speech quote “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”…except he is not just some guy asking what the nation can do for him, he is in a position of unparalleled griftness.

Now we know why he wanted to be president.

Dear Mr. President,

My canine pals and I took a vote and unanimously decided you’re dumber than a fire hydrant.

We also concluded we won’t disrespect our pee by spraying it on you.
