Source: Business Insider, by Allan Smith
President Donald Trump reportedly told a group of members at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club that the reason he frequented the golf property so often was because "that White House is a real dump."
The comment was reported Tuesday in a Golf.com profile on the president which will appear in Sports Illustrated this week.
"Chatting with some members before a recent round of golf, [Trump] explained his frequent appearances: 'That White House is a real dump,'" Golf.com reported.
The publication wrote that the president is "often at his most unguarded among the people who pay for their proximity to him."

(42,033 posts)It would be great to hear what he has to say about the people who voted for him. I have no doubt that he talks about the voters who put him in the White House in the most derisive terms.

(6,123 posts)every time an event is held there. He seems to enjoy telling people attending an event, as if they don't know the history of the place. From now on when he says that, he should be booed for his hypocrisy. It is sickening to think about what he says in front of the cameras and what he says when he thinks no one is taking notice.
Anyone who has toured the White House knows it is decorated in the style suitable to the age of the building. The staff work to keep the place clean and tidy. Fresh flowers are placed in nearly every room. There are oppulent drapes and furniturings in keeping with the era. The family quarters are furnished according to what the first family wishes to have. I am sure they make every effort to make sure it is a comfortable and welcoming home.
tRump really should be ashamed to talk about the White House like that but I know he will never admit it and never apologize. So I am not holding my breath for that to happen. What else do you expect from a goon like tRump?

I don't understand why anyone would enjoy playing golf with him. I have read from a number of sources that he cheats like a bastard.
From the article "In 2007, Trump called Bamberger to brag about a 68 he had shot at Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles. Trump's handicap index is officially 2.8, but he has posted only three scores since '14. Els, a South Florida resident who has known Trump for many years, estimates he is "an eight or a nine." For Trump to shoot 68 on a tough course like Bel-Air would require him to play nearly perfectly from tee to green while making a number of substantial putts. One of his playing partners that day confirmed that Trump played "good," but that he took all the usual liberties common among everyday golfers: mulligans, gimmes, improved lies, etc. There was no mention of the 68 in a subsequent story, and Bamberger heard about it from Trump."
The rest of the article is "par for the course". It only underscores what a complete and utter asshole Trump is.

(5,179 posts)Jackie Kennedy thought so too (although I don't remember JFK complaining to everyone) so SHE DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT. After fifty years, it's probably overdue for a makeover. If your "Man" is so disgusted, here's your big chance to stop being bored and unhappy since the cyber bullying thing fell through. Even if Donald insists on everything being garish gold leaf, I doubt you'll be there long enough to get past the planning stages. It will keep you busy and him pacified in the meantime.

First Speaker
(4,858 posts)...that this maggot, who defiles the White House with every breath he takes there, describes it as a "dump". If it is, it's because he takes a nice, big one on the floor of the Oval Office every day. The men who have occupied this sacred space of our Republic have been good men and bad men, good Presidents and bad Presidents...but every one of them felt respect for the House, for the office, for the men who previously occupied it, and for the country as a whole. Not this "President".

(1,134 posts)Up until your election, the White House was a fine place to live. Living there comes with a lot of responsibility.
It has become clear to me you can't handle the responsibility.
Sir, and I use the term loosely, it is time for you to resign your position and take your minions with you. This country you and I live in have a lot of history with our constitution. Me and my family support the Constitution.
My family has been involved with the military since early 1941. We have sworn to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Sir, you are making a mockery of everything that comes with being elected to the position you hold.
Based on some VA educational benefits, I have come to believe you have been compromised by the Russians. Many US soldiers, sailers, and marines have died as a result of hostile actions by the Soviets (Russians). Yet, you have offended our allies, and kiss up to the Russians.
I can not longer consider you my CinC.

Progressive2020
(713 posts)Big talk coming from an Orange Piece of Shit. Trump has always been tacky, garish, and tasteless. He is not an Elitist, as some others have said. He WISHES he was an Elitist, a member of the Upper Class. He is a lifelong Wannabe and has always resented the East Coast Old Money. They have always rejected him, and this is part of what drives Trump to always "be number one".
He is a Classless Douche who is a Raging Narcissist. His idea of Class is to paint everything gaudy gold. Louis the XIV was one of history's biggest Narcissists and Assholes. It is no wonder that Trump Tower is a modern version of Louis' style. Trump is about as classy as the Beverly Hillbillies. Get him the Hell out of the White House.
