According to a remarkable CNN report, President Trump was eating dinner with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at his private Mar-a-Lago club on Saturday evening when he received a call on his mobile phone informing him that North Korea had tested an intermediate-range ballistic missile.

The ensuing scene illustrated some of the problems involved in Trump treating a $200,000-per-membership private club as his “winter White House.”

Trump and Abe were seated in the middle of the club’s dining room, allowing members of the club to gawk as the two heads of state grappled with matters of war and peace.

“As Mar-a-Lago’s wealthy members looked on from their tables, and with a keyboard player crooning in the background, Trump and Abe’s evening meal quickly morphed into a strategy session, the decision-making on full view to fellow diners, who described it in detail to CNN,” Kevin Liptak of CNN wrote.

1. The Hair Club for Men?

2. Trump figures he was on the set of a reality show called "Presidentin"

and probably loved showing off to all his fancy pants club members.

The guy is seriously fu*ked up and represents a clear and present danger to our country.

3. I'm sure all of the wait staff have high level security clearance

I'll bet it's a heck of a lot easier to get a job as wait staff at Mar-A-Lago than it is to hack a private server. Oh, wait, both of those would get at secret Trump information since many on the Tump staff are using RNC servers.

4. They did pay a foprtune to be there after all...

and probably expect to enjoy the feature at the dinner club. It's called presidential dinner theater. I wonder if he asked them for advice.
