Trump: I'm staying at NJ golf club to avoid disrupting NYC, save money

In tweet - did he mention this is his golf course and resort? No. "Working out of my home."

Pathological liar.


Source: The Hill, by Elliot Smilowitz

President Trump on Friday said he is staying at his golf club in New Jersey over the weekend because he wants to avoid causing a major disruption in New York City and save the country money.

“Rather than causing a big disruption in N.Y.C., I will be working out of my home in Bedminster, N.J. this weekend. Also saves country money!” Trump tweeted.

Fiddle while Rome burns definition

To do something trivial and irresponsible in the midst of an emergency; legend has it that while a fire destroyed the city of Rome, the emperor Nero played his violin, thus revealing his total lack of concern for his people and his empire.

There is some talk that he is staying out of NYC because he thinks he can be arrested there via
Schneiderman 's RICO charges. Mastermind that he is....sheesh.

From wiki:

On October 19, 1982, DeLorean was charged with trafficking cocaine by the U.S. government, following a videotaped sting operation in which he was recorded by undercover Federal agents agreeing to bankroll cocaine smuggling operation. The FBI set him up with more than 59 pounds (27 kg) of cocaine (worth about $6.5 million) in a hotel near Los Angeles International Airport after arriving from New York, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation stated DeLorean was the "financier" to help the financially declining company in a scheme to sell 220 lb (100 kg), with an estimated value of $24 million.

Down here we were subjected to nearly weekly sojourns to Mar a Lago.

Worst was the part where an airplane accidently wandered into the no-fly zone, causing supersonic jets to be scrambled.

I honestly thought for a second after hearing the sonic boom we were under attack.

What a guy. We should all send him a little something for his thoughtfulness. Maybe a heart shaped box filled with gooey brown nuggets. Home made.

back in January unnerved him. It's odd that he hasn't returned to his flagship building. After all, the Trump Tower webpage - even before he ran for president - claimed it was the most popular tourist venue in NYC! Not that green gal in the harbor, or in his immediate neighborhood, Central Park, a famous skating rink or perhaps the best known church in America, which is an 19th C. architectural masterpiece. Nope, it's that gilded escalator!

He's "saving" us money by working in New Jersey. Maybe he should remember that next time he travels to his so-called Florida resort.
