Odd? Trump gets in SUV to leave WH. 3 minutes later heads back inside


House arrest?


And now there's a lid at the White House, which means Trump won't be leaving anymore today & we're not expected to see or hear from him for the rest of the day.

@JDiamond1
Odd. Trump got into the presidential SUV this morning to leave the White House. Three minutes later, he got out & walked back into the White House. Reporters have now also unloaded, indicating Trump's not leaving anytime soon, per pooler @betsy_klein

Sharted in the car. Done for the day.




In fairness, it’s a hot day for an elderly, obese man to play a round of 18 AND he’s got the entire FoxNews Saturday night lineup ready to go on his TiVo machine.

to mock the press for obsessing about Him, Trump, the Dear Leader and every move (or movement?) he makes. Fake news.

The heat index was already close to 100 by an hour after the time Trump started to leave for his golf course, then changed his mind.

I wouldn't want to play golf in that heat, either.

So, tempting as it is to joke about this or even worry about "what else he might be up to" - the simplest explanation is that he decided it was too miserably hot a day to spend at his golf course.

Unfortunately, that probably means more tweets.

My worry was more that he would now have "executive time" to do bad stuff. When he is busy with golf, I think it is better for America. I didn't express that well in my OP for the thread you linked.

And possibly he was so determined to play golf he decided to ignore the forecast even if he heard it...and then a minute or two outside convinced him that was a mistake.

that it was a negative situation for him, his family of grifters, his dipshit racist BS administration and not us.

Yet this hope is ALWAYS tempered by the knowledge that these type people with power, ESPECIALLY old white cons posturing and strutting around as a fake potus and their progeny of grifters and thieves, can literally get away with murder. No fucking consequence. What was that "murder on 5th ave" quote from this dipshit called potus? He knows it is true, so does EVERY other white person.

On the other hand, while on paper, through the 64-65 Civil and Voting Rights Act(s), I have been given the illusion of freedom and even called myself as a vet having fought for that illusion, I have NEVER, as a brownskin american-vet had the protections, privilege or Automatic entitlement(s) that the barbeque Becky's have always had, the poolside pauls and Paula's always have, the water stand wilmas have and always had, the college Cathy's have always had. And for people like these to be able, on a white whim, to call on or otherwise harass, get murdered and/or literally get an innocent, unarmed AA summarily executed a bullet, burning or lynching as a freedom I fought for, is maddening.

The fact that freedom and personal or race group protections, entitlements and privilege(s) automatic for certain segments and races in this society, after 350 years, are still not enjoyed by AA. We by virtue of race alone are still are not equal in the eyes of at least the people who have the ability to have ended racism generations ago. And it will never end because certain segments of our society do not ever want their entitlements and/or privileges based on skin colour to end.

Nothing that trump deserves is going to happen to this white man called a potus.

It will take all day to calm Trump down.

His staff will be telling him how courageous he was; how any whiny coal miner or veteran would have dropped dead of heart failure had the same happened to them.
