BY BRANDON CARTER - 10/21/17 11:14 AM EDT

President Trump traveled to his Virginia golf club on Saturday, marking the third consecutive weekend Trump has visited the club.

Trump left the White House just after 10 a.m. on Saturday morning for an undisclosed location. The White House press pool later reported that Trump’s motorcade had arrived at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va less than an hour later.

Trump was spotted wearing a white polo shirt, a white hat and dark pants, the pool reporter added. Trump has no public events scheduled for Saturday or Sunday.

Last weekend, Trump headed to his Virginia golf club with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky) on Sunday after golfing with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) there on Saturday.

1. The grift continues .....

.... how much will this put into the pockets of Trump and company.

4. Isn't this a massive, massive conflict of interests?

Wouldn't that be enough on its own for impeachment?

Republicans made Jimmy Carter give up his peanut farm. But there's no problem with Trump funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars into his own pocket with all of the secret service presence required at these golf clubs?

[DesertRat]

5. Exactly right

Hardly a week goes by without taxpayer-funded trips to one of their own properties. These stays promote the Trump brand and further enrich the Trump family.

17. He charges the secret service rentals on the golf carts too.

n/t

26. By law, the SS has to pay for the carts

[Angry Dragon]

22. Who is paying for the rounds of golf??

Forget about the Secret Service paying for golf carts for a moment.
Back in Jan-Feb Trump held a big media event about how he was giving up running his company, he would take himself out of the picture. To me that also includes giving up the perks. One has to be a member to gold at one of his golf clubs. Does he have a membership?? Is he paying for his golf?? When he takes people golfing, who pays for their golf?? Who pays for lunch?? Who pays for drinks??

23. But...

he was going to be far too busy working in the White House to play golf! I seem to remember him saying something like that during his campaign.

I actually believe he's spent more time golfing than he's spent working, and I mean working, not watching TV in the Oval Office, eating his "two scoops", talking to his racist pals, tweeting, and all of the other horse-shit he does that can't be counted as actual "work".

Laziest.......President.......Ever! Most.......Dishonest.......President.......Ever!

2. Fake news!!

He is working in the White House

[jmowreader]

16. If so, itd be the first time in ten months he actually worked

[Tactical Peek]

3. Sounds like that might where he has his main point of contact

with his Russian handlers, now that Jared Kushner was caught and prevented from setting up that secret, secure comm line to Trump's boss, Pootie.

6. In a month or so, Mar-a-LARDO will be opening

and snowbird will be off to Florida every weekend!

7. Meanwhile, Sgt. La David Johnson is being laid to rest in FL

8. Even if it weren't for all the grifting

dump has shown himself to be a lazy-ass, disinterested "president". Oh, well--the less time he spends "on the job", the less the country suffers from his incompetence and evil intentions.

9. "I will be too busy to golf"

10. Samuel L. Jackson accuses Trump of cheating at golf

(From January)

"The Hateful Eight" actor called Trump out for cheating during golf games in the January issue of Rhapsody Magazine.
When asked who the better golfer was, Jackson said with a smile, "Oh I am, for sure. I don't cheat."

"I don't know what the Don's up to," he said. "Interesting character. More P.T. Barnum than politician. I don't think he believes half the things he says."

Trump fired back at the comments (with a typically hateful tweet):

[jmowreader]

18. Yknow...

That motherfucker doesn’t like Samuel L. Jackson because Of Sam’s history in the civil rights movement. He’s also jealous that Sam Jackson is a beloved person, and Trump is both feared and loathed.

[Angry Dragon]

24. How about the questions I asked??

11. Where is FLOTUS this weekend?

Why doesn't Trump spend the weekends with his wife and young son?

[Scarsdale]

14. She is likely visiting

her long time lover, the security chief at Tiffany in tRump Tower.

12. The golfer in chief

13. There are still two Americas.

19. And the Secret Service pays Trump to use the golf carts to follow him

Plus food and lodging.

It's a win~win for the Donald.

[VMA131Marine]

27. As noted earlier, by law they have to pay.

[left-of-center2012]

29. ...

[Kingofalldems]

20. He doesn't actually play golf either.

It's a 4 hour cheatfest of hitting golf balls and putting down fake scores.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. Priorities

You don't expect him to work do you?

[C_U_L8R]

28. What a duffer.

A real lard ass. But I guess we're better off with Trump doing nothing.
