“There is a carve-out for essential workers, and I think by any definition the President of the United States is an essential worker,” the governor said on Friday during an interview on CNBC, before Trump cancelled the trip.

Maybe, but playing golf is hardly “essential work.”

And many of us would argue that Donnie Trump is not essential for anything.

If Trump does not go to Bedminster may the illegals working there file for unemployment?

Trump is classified as “an essential worker”? When has he ever done anything like work, much less “essential work”?

Good petulant photo, by the way!

Wait a minute:

The hoax virus has created hoax travel restrictions to prevent the anti-hoax President from burning his very important Executive time ruining a beautiful walk by chasing a little white ball?

And he was overruled by a Governor, to boot?

Do you get the impression that Trump really has no power anymore?

I think it’s a safe bet that exemptions for essential workers apply to travel to their places of work, not to their vacation destinations.
