Cabinet officials and others invited to today's NSC meeting on election security are leaving White House now. The meeting was set to start at 3 pm. If it started as scheduled, the president's meeting on election security was less than 30 minutes.

President Trump is leaving for a weekend at his golf retreat in New Jersey. He did not take questions from reporters on the south lawn of the White House as he boarded Marine One.

...about his golf time vs Obama, and the golf fees and other charges he dings the Secret Service for? (I was going to put SS in there instead, but in these fascist times, I didn't even wanna look at those letters). Spanky's golf weekends are making him millions for his courses (aka 'him&quot .

Jaguar cars originally was a company called “Swallow Sidecars” as in the bird and motorcycle sidecars. When hitler came to power and the initials SS became known for his brown shirts, the company changed their name to Jaguar.

That is about as in depth and detailed as tRump can handle. Any more than that and he gets restless. Starts squirming in his seat. So of necessity, they keep it short and sweet. It has to include one break, too. Or tRump complains bitterly. Poor delicate flower.

And I don’t know about you guys, but I feel sooo much better now that they've met about election security issues.

Donald Trump is encouraging President Obama to use the golf course to make deals with GOP leadership, noting the president has played more during his time in office than some golfing professionals.

“The problem with the president, he’s played more than people on the PGA Tour,” Trump said in an interview with The Daily Caller on Wednesday. “He plays a lot. He’s like a touring professional in terms of the amount of play.”
