Trump's press corps has been placed in a basement suite at Jupiter golf club. Black plastic over windows to give Trump privacy as he golfs.

Japanese press are holed up with us at Trump Jupiter, no better access to their leader. Not clear if US side or Japan side vetoed golf pix.

I mean, he's bound to not wear a suit at some point. Right?

Comparisons to Obama seems to be one of his biggest weak spots.

I would rip that plastic right off the glass and wad it into a ball.

It is possible for the press to say, "Oh, NO you don't!"
(This is an abuse of pretend power.)

Then, I would call the ACLU and be sure they were aware of this event.

that fucking, transplanted 'thing' on his head (that he calls hair) going rogue or his flabby, toneless underarms flapping in the breeze when he's in his golf cart. Just thinking of his 'fast-food fed' belly bursting loose from his un-tucked Polo (on a swing) is enough to make me lose my lunch.

And of course, our useless media will just shrug it off and pretend it's not, like, the craziest thing ever.

but they definitely haven't been "useless".

Our media has a lot to atone for, but some of them deserve props for their recent coverage.

Sounds like a dungeon to me... gilded but a dungeon nevertheless. Oh and that exit door had better not be locked/blocked either.

The press should stop putting up with this nonsense and grow a friggin SPINE that's tougher than their current one that's more like an over cooked noodle.
