Trump spends 25 hours playing golf in his first few weeks in office: www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39054971

I can't remember who made the comment to the effect that 'Golf is a good walk spoiled' but it's one I happily endorse. Grin

Look on the bright side, though. He surely can't sign EOs on the course?

Surely?

I love how he keeps repeating what the President is doing and then reinforcing the propaganda bit of that. It's fascinating.

Well. Now that KAC seems to have been sidelined, he's probably feeling a chill wind on the nape of his neck. Wink

Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed and despairing about what's happening in the world right now. It all seems to have escalated so quickly, I mean the signs were there, but they were more like little niggles, only a few years ago Cameron was talking about 'swivel eyed loons', pp on the periphery whom we could dismiss. But now the discourse has shifted in an unimaginable way, so much hatred, contempt and lack of compassion for others. I can only hope that good will win eventually but societies are becoming so fractured and polarised I'm not sure how that can happen ...

So grateful for this thread tho. Good to know pp care and are as angry and concerned as me. You're all wonderful warrior women!

Trump is missing a golden opportunity not to Airbnb rooms at the WH, particularly when he's at Mar-a-Lago. Maybe he could offset some of his travel costs.

Also start charging journalists for travelling on AF1.

It's why I posted the thing about France, unless the majorities in countries which don't want fools like EP and Arron Banks here, form alliances, the twits will have a field day.

"“source close to the White House” told CNN that Trump’s White House is “having much more of a drama-free week” without Conway all over news networks."

That is probably why it does feel more quiet.

I read she is claiming to be working on other areas of HR portfolio right now. I think that might mean she has been relegated to photocopying duty or something Grin

Re Conway, I saw an article earlier that she was pulled back from tv spots for now, as it was too disruptive.

Yeah!

And he has set up a "resistance calendar."

Frankly, Miller made a rookie mistake in telling news media what he did. And that, my friend, is why you don't put someone with no experience and a undergraduate degree in charge of policy writing or in front of a tv camera. Grin
