Trump Seen at the Golf Course While Hurricane Dorian Approaches the U.S.

As Hurricane Dorian, one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record, slammed through the Bahamas en route towards the Southeastern United States, President Donald Trump was spotted on the links at a Trump-branded Virginia golf club.

The President has no plans listed on his public schedule for Monday. He was originally set to spend this weekend in Poland commemorating the start of World War II. However, that trip was canceled as the threat posed by Hurricane Dorian became more clear.

Trump was also seen at the golf course on Saturday.

White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham says that Trump is being briefed on Hurricane Dorian “throughout the weekend.”

Ha! That's a joke. It doesn't matter at all. Somebody there should pull a prank and run up and debrief him. Never mind, that's a vulgar image. Sorry.

Ah, you'll have to excuse me, but I am going to go outside and brief a squirrel about the storm right now.

and throws it in their/our face. Was further dismayed to learn today that he has 64 million twitter followers. Same as his popular vote count.

He used the hurricane as an excuse to get out of working.

while he is derelict from duty to and a cat 5 hurricane punches America in the gut.

Republicans need to explain to US taxpayers how this is "conservative" or anything other than yet another major "fugg you" to the citizens of our land.

less chance he screws something up out there. If only he would stay out there until election day.

I say supposedly only because it is so far away, the person readily bends over to grab a ball and given Trump's overt balance issues, hugging the podium for dear life, nearly toppling down the stairs with Boris Johnson last week, I find that suspicious. Just sayin... Something is odd.

I think that it looks more like my craggy hill pasture than any manicured golf course I've seen.

It just sucks that they squander millions of our tax dollars on a "billionaire" so he can indulge in luxury golf, while a hurricane rages on our shores.

What's wrong with the freaking Republicans?
