If Obama had done this...
I wonder why the talking heads aren't making more of an issue of dt going to his gawdy palace in Florida for the second week in a row? Damn good thing this country is in such healthy shape he appears to have no worries. If Obama had done that... and then, to add insult to injury...

Trump golf game gets special press box: a basement with blacked-out windows
Donald Trump loves to play golf. But he doesn’t always like other people to see him play golf – which would explain the black plastic bags covering the windows at the Trump National Jupiter golf club: to keep out reporters’ prying eyes.
On Saturday, the president hosted the Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe, at his Palm Beach golf club for some diplomatic links, after the pair met for talks in the White House on Friday. Reporters who had tagged along for the trip were surprised to discover that they were to remain holed up in a clubhouse basement – with no way to glimpse what was happening on the course outside.
Jennifer Jacobs, a White House reporter for Bloomberg, tweeted: “Trump’s press corps has been placed in a basement suite at Jupiter golf club. Black plastic over windows to give Trump privacy as he golfs.”
Jill Colvin of the AP also tweeted a picture of the makeshift coverings.

A White House pool report said: “Photographers were instructed not to take pictures on the grounds of a ‘private club’.” Japanese reporters were also unable to see Trump and Abe in action.

thinking about how, if Hillary or Barack had done ANY of the things Big Orange has been doing as of late, the right-wing would've shredded them politically by now. The Russia stuff alone probably would have led to an impeachment vote before Hillary took office.
Of Obama. Yeah folks, we are dreaming of those days where the biggest bitch of the day was Obama's golf schedule. I loathe the repugs with every fiber of my being.
