Biden Had a Four-Letter Reaction After He Found Trump's Giant Video Golf Setup in the White House

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

When President Joe Biden moved into the White House in January, a new book reports, he found his new home somewhat cold — with unusual remnants of Donald Trump's presidency.

-snip-

"Trump's existence permeated the White House," the Peril authors write, according to an ABC News report.

According to Peril, Biden reacted to — among other Trump-specific amenities — a giant video screen where his predecessor used to practice his golf game, projecting virtual versions of the world's most famous courses onto the wall.

" 'What a f------ a------,' Biden once said as he surveyed the former president's toys," according to a quote from the book cited in the report. (The White House did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Peril, which was published Tuesday.)

Why didn't he take his toys with him or were these things paid for by the tax payers and as such not really his?

1. Better question: did Biden actually touch any of these items? Let's fucking hope not. N/T

2. I really love Joe nt

3. trump probably didn't take them because no doubt had the same...

set-up at his many homes...courtesy of us taxpayers of course.

4. To say nothing of that lingering aroma of Old Spice, Big Macs, Ben Gay and shit . . .

5. Don't forget the KFC

6. So when Trump wasn't playing golf he was fake playing golf?

That fucker never worked.

7. I just hope they swept the place for bugs.

Seriously.

Down to the studs.

I don't trust Trump's "renovation" team any more than I would trust a team straight from Putin and/or the mafia.

8. Both the electronic and the biological bugs.

I mean we're talking about the bedbug king.

9. "Trump's existence permeated the White House,"

That's a poetic and apt way of describing four years' worth of fast-food farts.

10. Shitty tenant leaving his junk behind. Nt

11. Didn't the initial report say he grew tired of it pretty quickly? I would lay down

big money saying it was because he couldn't figure out how he could cheat the computer the way he's used to doing on an actual golf course. Read "Commander In Cheat" if you don't believe me!

14. they look pretty boring to me... can't imagine driving more than 10-20 times

[Retrograde]

12. If you don't have anything nice to say about the Trumps

come sit next to me. I want to know about how they decorated their private quarters, but I think the permanent White House staff is too professional to dish. I also want to know why Mel felt it was important to build a tennis pavillion that's bigger than my house. And whether she actually spent any time in the White House when the cameras weren't on her.

Being even a half-way competent president is a very hard and stressful job, and I don't begrudge them their recreation time. Obama had his basketball set-up, Ford had his swimming pool, IIRC Eisenhower had a small putting area in his office. But these weren't grossly expensive, and they actually tried to do the jobs they were elected to do.

13. This is what they look like

These indoor golf driving screens with projector and screen run around $3k to $5k

16. TFG's set up evidently cost $50,000

It may had special software to let him cheat

18. Got link?

20. Yes

Trump’s system cost about $50,000, and was put in during the last few weeks in a room in his personal quarters, a White House official said.

The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss details of the president’s private residence, said that Trump had paid for the new system and the installation personally.

President Trump has built his schedules around long blocks of executive time — unstructured periods in the day with no official meetings. He often spends this time watching TV, tweeting, holding impromptu meetings and making phone calls, aides have said.

15. Joe was correct about TFG

Did TFG do any work or did TFG spend all of his time playing golf either virtually or at his courses?

17. TFG should be be forever known as TFA...That Fucking Asshole

[A HERETIC I AM]

19. I still say Biden should order a complete Truman style gutting of the White House...

which would serve two purposes;

1) It would be a dramatic symbol of a complete cleansing of Trumpy from the building

2) It's needed to bring the behind the walls items (pipes, wiring, communications, etc) up to modern standards AND it would solve the reported vermin and insect problems the building has.

Granted Biden wouldn't be able to live in it while it took place (He would likely move across the street to Blair House like Truman did), but sooner or later it needs to be done.

Gut it from top to bottom and rebuild it.
