A man who was fired from his job as a pilot on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, after the Guardian revealed that he was charged with a violent crime, was this weekend at the president’s estate in Florida, claiming to be part of his security team.

Vincent Caldara, who was accused of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, was at the US president’s private resort, Mar-a-Lago, where Trump is hosting the Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe. Caldara was also present as the president and Abe played golf at Trump’s private club in Jupiter on Saturday.

The exact nature of Caldara’s responsibilities was unclear. He appeared to be a member of a team of local Republicans voluntarily assisting with the president’s visit, each of whom was wearing lanyards featuring a White House seal. Caldara did not respond to an email seeking comment.

However, the 56-year-old former New York police officer, who was also chairman of the Trump campaign’s “Florida law enforcement coalition”, suggested publicly that he was helping to provide security for Trump.

2. T claiming he has a 4 handicap at golf must be The Lie of the Year award so far.

And using the Presidential Seal as a security clearance by T. himself would be the Power Move of the Year candidate, so far.

3. A brown shirt-

That headline is disappointing coming from from across the pond. I always thought they had a better command of the language. Ah well nothing is sacred.

4. Yeah, I thought he was charging a battery in a plane or something.

5. Saddam Hussein of Iraq had his infamous palace Republican Guards.

Yet I wonder whether British dignitaries will be avoiding official meetings in US after being briefed on this news story.

6. His own private brownshirts

I wonder if they can order the secret service around?
