"I love golf, but if I were in the White House, I don't think I'd ever see Turnberry again," he said in February 2016, referring to the famous course he owns in Scotland. "I don't think I'd ever see Doral again," he added, referring to the famous course he owns in Miami. "I don't ever think I'd see anything I just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off, make great deals, right? Who's gonna leave?"

(26,399 posts)moocher of the public dime. If it was anyone else, e.g., Obama for example, playing that much golf, the repugs in Congress would have been screaming bloody murder and would have already done something to limit the payments for secret service agents and what not, but w/ rump? NOTHING. Traitors.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
