Video appears to show Trump golfing in Virginia in the run-up to catastrophic Hurricane Dorian

President Donald Trump appeared to be playing golf Saturday, just days before states on the southeast coast were set to be battered by Category 5 Hurricane Dorian, which the National Hurrican Center has called catastrophic.

Official communications from the White House and statements from the president himself ahead of the weekend trip suggested that Trump would be spending his time at Camp David in Maryland monitoring and preparing for the storm.

According to press pool reports, however, Trump traveled to his Sterling, Virginia golf course Saturday morning by helicopter from Camp David. Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham reportedly told reporters that someone from FEMA was briefing him on the hurricane every hour.

Trump departed the course at 2:40 PM, according to his schedule, and received his scheduled full briefing at Camp David when he returned.

1. Does that miserable bastard *ever* spend time with his grandkids?

(Hurricane aside...)

[crazytown]

4. I personally would prefer that he did not,

especially with the girls.

7. Good point. His kids are breeders and you never see any pics...

of him with the grandkids. Maybe they're out there and I've missed them. Just seems bizarre.

8. Would you let him near the grandkids?

[SMC22307]

9. I'm not one of his spawn. His grifter kids worship him, right?

I'm guessing it's Dirty Don who has zero interest in the grand-spawn so there's no issue of letting him near.

11. Good point. Or not look like he's in the office?

I get the suit thing but I don't understand the optics. He wears golf clothes - he looks like a milkman - that I've never seen anyone wear.

13. So, his two looks are *presidential* in ill-fitting suits or doughy milkman.

At least we had more variety with Ronnie Raygun and Dubya -- golfers *and* cowboys. Yee-haw.

2. If Bill or Barack did this 23 million cons would arm themselves and literally hunt them down

A con does it, a rump does it, and NOTHING

[malaise]

5. +1,000

That's the truth

[Dirty Socialist]

3. If That was Obama golfing

The Rubepublicans would be squaking that as a talking point for fucking MONTHS.

6. Nero's fiddling while Rome burned is most likely just a legend...

but it is sure an apt metaphor for General Skidmark:

10. Glad to hear beer cart girl was briefing him

[Golden Raisin]

12. First things first.

Golf trumps (no pun intended) looming major disaster.
