“He has not and will not be discussing policy with club members,” White House spokesperson Holly Hicks said in a statement provided to the New York Times.

But reporting from the Times and from Politico suggests otherwise.

Real estate executive Bruce Toll told the New York Times that he does occasionally discuss national policy issues — specifically, Trump’s plans to increase spending on infrastructure projects — when he sees Trump at Mar-a-Lago. According to Toll, Trump sometimes receives advice from other club members about what he should do policy-wise.

Developer Richard LeFrak, a close friend of Trump’s, recounted a discussion at Mar-a-Lago last weekend during which Trump asked him for help with the proposed border wall between the United States and Mexico. Trump was unhappy with the projected cost of the wall, wanted to come up with a way to build it more cheaply, and suggested that the head of the Department of Homeland Security would give LeFrak a call to talk about it.

1. Putin put Trump in the presidency to destroy the office and capture our country.

Asking his private club member what he should do seems to help with the plan. Who needs policy experts when you can run the country with your golf club acquaintances.

There is a little bit of Pol Pot in this approach.

The current Republican party also rejects and denigrates expertise.

I think Trump is the immediate threat but I think the Republican Party is an ongoing threat. I don't think it can reform itself
