Trump Was Golfing When He Lost the Presidency

Of course.

Where were you when you found out the 2020 presidential election was called for Joe Biden? I was at home, blogging. My neighbors appear to have been “at the store, shopping for airhorns.” We know where President Trump was: at the golf course. According to the Associated Press, Trump left for his golf course in Virginia earlier this morning and hasn’t yet come back.

Thoughts and prayers for his caddie.

That's not a normal occurrence, and I knew it could only mean one thing.

Hope they put the nuclear football in the other golf cart and locked the White House doors behind him. And his motorcade has to push back through the crowds in the streets to get home

and they had it all planned out so that he wouldn't be tweeting up a storm right now. GOOD. Let him play a horrible round of golf on top losing the election today. It's so appropriate!

well, he will have even more time to golf, that is until he is extradited to New York to face State charges.

Looked at my phone and told her I'd watch from the car, so I could devour the news.

I could he the usual activity going on outside around where I live, with equipment, traffic, and usual city noise. Right after the announcement, there was complete and total silence outside for about 30-45 minutes.
