Trump Has No Idea How US Officials Keep Ending Up At His Resorts

Vice President Mike Pence and the Air Force have gone out of their way to stay at President Donald Trump’s resorts during taxpayer-funded travel, but Trump himself definitely didn’t have anything to do with it.

"… during his very busy European visit, he would stop and see his family!”

If he was very busy with other things to do, wouldn’t he naturally put off seeing his family?

They are all amateurs.

John Oliver was talking about Sharpiegate and marveling at how a guy who lies so, so much can still be so bad at it.

"… he thought that during his very busy European visit, he would stop and see his family!”

So busy was Q-tip crisscrossing Europe to insult various national leaders that he had to take his wife, sister and mother along (on the taxpayer’s dime) and have the whole contingent dine at his distant cousin’s pub and restaurant (on the taxpayer’s dime).

Two things are still explained, however.

First, how do people manage to stay in this dimension while in the proximity of the black hole of susPence’s head?

Second, and more pressing, is: When traveling with his wife, sister and mother, which one does he call “mother”?

My guess is all three.

His denial reminds me of his denials about hush money to Stormy Daniels. As more proof comes out. His denial will morph until it gets to “this isn’t important, ignore it.”

Only because they treat bald-faced lies as well-meaning statements of fact.

It’s your buzzer game, because if you have an idea others probably did too. Trust me I don’t putter around making tea before I post something from pop culture like that.

The tRump’s statement misses the obvious point - if you are a government official and combining business with personal activities YOU PAY for the cost of the personal stuff.

So, did Mike Pence pay for his time at Doonbeg? Did he cover the cost of his entourage while he was sightseeing at his ancestral home?

Enquiring minds would certainly like to know.

Cause you can’t spell “Doonbeg” without “Boondoggle.”

Well, maybe it happened, but if it did it isn’t illegal.

OK, it did happen, but I wasn’t aware of it.

Well, I was aware of it, but I didn’t order it.

OK, I ordered it, but I’m allowed to do that, I’m President, so it’s legal.

Sheesh, OK, so it’s illegal. But I can’t be charged or indicted for it, so why are you even looking into it?

It’s really very clever and appropriate. Worth a six of good beer on the writer’s desk tomorrow.
