Newly leaked audio from a November party at President Trump's Bedminster, N.J., golf club reveals then president-elect Trump touting to guests his scheduled interviews on premises with potential cabinet members and White House staff.
Were doing a lot of interviews tomorrow generals, dictators, we have everything, Trump says in the tape, obtained by Politico and published Saturday. You may wanna come around. Itll be fun. Were really working tomorrow. We have meetings every 15, 20 minutes with different people that will form our government."
Were going to be interviewing everybody Treasury, were going to be interviewing Secretary of State, he continued. We have everybody coming in if you want to come around, its going to be unbelievable so you might want to come along.
The tape was recorded at the same New Jersey golf club where Trump interviewed several potential cabinet picks, including former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who was under consideration to be secretary of State.
The tape sheds some light on how Trump conducts himself at his clubs, just as he returns this weekend to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., for his third straight weekend.
Last weekend, Trump was criticized for handling a North Korea missile crisis in public at his Mar-a-Lago dining room. Guests at the club took photos of the meeting, and one person even shared a Facebook post of the person responsible for carrying "nuclear football" the black bag that contains the nuclear launch codes.

Perhaps his wallet-friends would like to see the President's Emergency Operations Center and spend the night there, pretending to be in a real life emergency!
