Americans Are Calling Mar-a-Lago To Tell Trump To Stop Golfing And Work On Stimulus Bill

Americans Are Calling Mar-a-Lago To Tell Trump To Stop Golfing And Work On Stimulus Bill


Americans are calling Trump’s private Florida club to tell him to stop golfing and get to work on the pandemic stimulus bill.

Here is the literal call to action:

Since Trump is golfing at Mar A Lago instead of working at the White House I called them [(561) 832-2600] to request he get his lazy ass working on the stimulus bill. I recommend calling #MarALago as it was quicker and easier to get a live person than the White House.

Trump needs to be flooded with messaged that disrupt his unearned holiday vacation. Trump hasn’t been working for nearly two months since the election was called for Joe Biden. Those who work in the White House have said that Trump does no governing and is spending his days with election conspiracy theorists like Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell.

The pandemic stimulus bill has passed, but Trump blew up the process by demanding $2,000 stimulus checks for every American. Trump made his demand then promptly went on vacation and did nothing to follow up to either sign the recently passed stimulus bill or lobbying Republicans to support stand-alone legislation for larger stimulus payments.

The White House insists that Trump is working as the media has caught him golfing.

It is time to let Trump know that he can’t hide by picking up the phone and telling him to stop holding up pandemic relief.

don't appreciate how much he gave up to be our wonderful, heroic president who works tirelessly for us. And I do mean crying! They honestly believe his whiney BS about how he's the worst-treated POTUS in American history.

If you even get a human it will be someone overworked and underpaid who doesn't deserve to get pecked like that. Trump could not care less if we all die, just so long as the bodies don't get in the way of his fun.

He doesn't not give a shit about $2000. What he cares about is "230". He doesn't want it out there to hold him liable when he starts his Trump network and spews lies 24/7.

"a business that thrives on schadenfreude"

However, schadenfreude works both ways...we'll be reveling in it also, come Jan. 20.

And Pence in charge of Covid task fierce, skiing in Vail with 5O SS agents, plus pro ski instructors.
On our dime. But $600 dollars of our tax paid cash is a handout, and Lindsay Graham. (Over my dead body another dime in free checks) is golfing with Trump, on our dime.
Why the fuck do Dems have a problem messaging.
This holiday getaway for Pence and Trump should be plastered all over Georgia. We just gonna wait till LP puts out another add, most people don’t see?

Eh...we can do without. We've passed up so much more already, especially in the last year. tRump's presence at the Inaugural won't be worth a plugged nickel in getting this country closer to unity. He's already destroyed that notion. It's up to Joe and Kamala now to get us back on the right path.

tRump is too micro-managing to allow any of his employees to think on their own, nevermind allowing them to censor his incoming communications. I'd be happy if two piles of messages were set up: one for pro-tRump, and one for anti-tRump comments. Wonder which would be higher...
