Trump golfs third day in a row since declaring national emergency on border

President Trump kicked off Presidents Day at his private golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla., Monday morning, hitting the greens for the third day in a row since declaring a national emergency at the southern border.

Trump's motorcade arrived at Trump International Golf Club just before 8:50 a.m, on par with his arrival times the past few days. The course is a 15-minute drive east from his Mar-a-Lago resort.

He golfed both weekend days, including six hours on Saturday.

George Conway, husband to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, joked Sunday that the golf outing was an "emergency round."

The Monday tour marks the 159th time the president has visited a golf course since his inauguration in January 2017, according to Trump Golf Count. Another count states it is his 172nd visit.

Like all American taxpayers, I am delighted that my hard-earned tax dollars are going to support the "billionaire" KGOP Draft-Dodger-in-Chief as he weathers this horrible Fake Republican National Emergency with glorious, golden, glamorous, gourmet, luxury golf for the rich.

All hell would break loose.

But, as usual, tRump gets a pass for anything and everything.

I think he was shocked that he "won." He had a deer-in-the-headlights look on election night. So did the rest of his criminal family.

He wanted to harass Hillary and make her life miserable, but he does not want to govern.

An emergency that didn't need to be called? An emergency that can wait around while president goes off for a long weekend at his golf club? An emergency that doesn't require mobilization of emergency personnel? It's just amazing how un-urgent this emergency is.
