The optics of Trump demolishing the economy and then peacing out for some R&R at a Saudi-funded golf tournament held at a private club he still owns and profits from aren’t great

This might hurt a democrat. The GOP can do this any time they want. Boebert was smoking into a pregnant woman’s face while giving handjobs in public. Still a member of Congress. He can go golf all week and nothing will happen. He raped someone got 34 felonies and won. I expect zero consequences.
More concretely, Boebert’s contribution to legislation was to sponsor a bill reducing the salary of three govt officials she didn’t like and to yell at Biden during a president’s address. That’s it.
The Saudis don't want oil to stop being an energy source as that's the only thing that keeps the kingdom together. Once that's gone they're gone. They bought Trump to keep the oil going a little further, and he happily sold us to these people.
It's a planned event. "Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief." - Chris Murphy (read his summary below)
https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-says-hes-too-112412893.html Well at least while he is cheating a golf, he is not attacking Americans and the US economy. Reminder: IN less than 3 months TRUMP has COST US TAXPAYER MORE THAN 26 million to play golf--->>>>>on HIS OWN Courses---which go into his pocket.
Is the mainstream media reporting nonstop about this? I think not think. How much would we be hearing about this if former president Biden or Obama did something like this?
Worse than optics - blatant, and consistent choices that show his lack of caring of Americans. Icing on the cake? His lack of presence at the repatriation ceremony for the four fall servicemen who died in Lithuania. Shameless.
Corporal BoneSpurs still running from the masses

with Pardons for the Jan 6th felons, this felon, by Law, cannot hold Office. Demand Justice!
He pardoned them for his civil war knowing that their loyal dumb💩s and will go to jail for him and just like the mob keep their mouth closed! Wonder if anyone put a deal on the table? Give us your leader? I'm thinking no
I’m curious to see how much he charges the secret service for golf carts. If I remember correctly, his last term he charged them 3x the normal amount. Fucker.
Where is he at? Come on people, let's go flood that fucking place and shut it down. If there's a 10,000 people there he can't have a fucking golf tournament. Shut the motherfucker down!
Hey, Trump has got to get his pay out. The Sadie’s via Russia probably are paying him big time and he stashing the money and an offshore bank inhabited by penguins.
The optics are what he says they are. His retelling of this will be he saved some kitten stuck in a tree chased up there by wokeness, and his sycophants will just shake their heads in agreement.
This is where the Dems need to get off the high road and point out Trump's weekend with the Saudis while ignoring repatriated military remains. They need to be on every platform,at every opportunity, all the time.
His rush to leave town left no time to fulfill one of his duties as commander in chief. While he's down there grifting his ass off the remains of the four soldiers who died in Lithuania will be returning to Andrews Air Force Base. He is a disgrace.
Imagine being a soldier and knowing that if you die while serving your country, your President wouldn’t bother to honor you as your remains land on the soil of the country you died for….
He’s a fucking MONSTER!
😢😡😢
Attending repatriation ceremonies must transcend all politics. I can only imagine a few circumstances where his absence would be acceptable. Golfing with the Saudis not one of them.
They perfectly encapsulate him, his presidency, his enablers, his White House: he doesn’t give a shit, he/they are gonna break shit for all sorts of personal revenge and adolescent fantasy reasons, and fuck you all!
Really, it makes total sense — more sense than the tariffs in fact.
Get it? That's the message of America once you can tap into the HATE.
In that sense, trump is the greatest politician this country can ever produce.
He has some instincts of Hitler.
He instinctively knows how to tap the HATE.
He's got to be there so he could let his journalist murdering friends in on his plan for the world economy. That way, they both can collude together to rape world markets.
When the inflation gets really bad in America as a result of declaring economic war on the rest of the world maybe some Americans will elect someone with a shred of sanity.
The only reason he did what he did yesterday was bc Corey Booker cleared 2 break a racists record 4 longest speech on the senate floor. I honestly think he was mad attention turned away from him & he did this earlier than was originally planned. He wants to break us.
Why are we still talking optics? This guy had an actual racist rally at msg and got elected. This whole optic narrative like he’s going to do something that will shock everyone enough to care.., it won’t.
I remember thinking it wasn't awesome for him to be hawking Tesla's on the White House grounds a few weeks ago, but everyone's forgotten that now. 1 outrageous act by the president a catastrophe; 1,000 of them is just another Thursday.
Will it actually matter to his cult though? Maybe I’m underestimating how many middle of the road Americans there are but at this point it feels like people have made up their minds on whether they like or don’t like him. Is it possible this will sway his supporters?
But hey, brown people are being disappeared, even the most disturbed people can have a gun, books that educate and enlighten are bannedand drag queens can't read to kids, so all is well in MagaLand.
As much as the media whined about Biden retreating to Delaware so much I have not heard the same complaints about Trump this term and all his maralago golf trips
Why would FOTUS show any honor or respect to the 'suckers & losers' who died serving their country.
Maybe he's right that it doesn't matter.
Vast majority of vets voted for him in 2024.
You mean the Duma? They’re letting Moses Mike get away with calling this entire congressional session “one day” so ending the fake “economic emergency” never comes to a vote.
He doesn’t care about optics anymore. He got his get out of jail free card courtesy of SCOTUS and we are now all paying the price. He doesn’t give a shit about anybody.
If you think Trump crashing the economy and then using taxpayer $$ to fly to his private club for a long golf weekend is bad - DO SOMETHING this Saturday April 5 by joining a Hands Off rally near you. There are over 1000 locations in the US. Find one at https://www.mobilize.us/handsoff/map/
Unless you're watching Fox News, in which they are running a non-stop educational series on how to lick the boot interspersed with commercials for Teslas and Memecoins.
Simply a subtle reminder that the MAGA Messiah, Mad King Donald I really only cares about himself & other billionaires. Everyone else is disposable after being used as a tool or target of retribution for his benefit.
Yeah and where is he today looking out for his MAGA base in parts of country getting slammed by devastating tornados? He’s Not a POTUS. Just an old, rich, out of touch talking head literally reading a script for him to deliver pretending to care about them and their groceries! 🤯
If you read the comments of his MAGA supporters, they think the tariffs are great and that he deserves some R&R after doing so much work to get back against all them foreign countries that have been cheating us so long.
He could care less …his next move will be to declare “pre-emptive martial law” in lieu of likely rioting over the plummeting stock market and rising prices. Great job MAGA - You handed Putin the US on a fake gold platter. Not a single shot fired ..yet.
I know that's right. Four dead GIs arriving from Lithuania, too, and his worthless old a$$ is playing pasture pool.
Joe Biden should go meet those boys instead.
And don’t forget the remains of the 4 US servicemen killed in Lithuania. He won’t even be @Dover AFB to receive their remains. The Lithuanian President, members of their military, even schoolchildren& teachers stood w/both countries flags in a solemn ceremony to honor them.
THEIR President, Gitanas Nausėda—NOT OUR OWN—said, “For us, it is more than a duty, it is an emotion. We have experienced trials in our history and therefore we understand well what loss is, what death is, what honourable duty is,” Nausėda said in a speech to those gathered.
Even “Schoolchildren accompanied by teachers waved Lithuanian and U.S. flags to honor the soldiers, who died in an accident along NATO’s eastern flank, a region that is on edge due to Russia’s aggression in nearby Ukraine.”
Who is benefiting? Trump will benefit from it when everyone gets so restless due to the collapse that he declares a national emergency, declares martial law, and suspends the Constitution. Then he's got his dictatorship.
Dude. He's going to announce tariffs reductions and when the markets respond positively, he'll take full credit for healing what he intentionally and unnecessarily wounded.
I'm still wondering to this day why in the 80s-90s they didn't find him in a caddy trunk? Only thing I can think of is they all got busted and ended up in jail?

The Saudi's like money, power & 🇷🇺 oil.
The Saudi's have become closer to being "friends" of 🇷🇺 & are good friends of the trumps...
The king can do as he pleases.
🤬🤬🤬
He breaks laws and we just keep on counting them. We don't do any consequences for them. It's a game for him now

He has electrolytes.
I’m not talking about golf either.
1. The press will cover it
2. His followers will care

What about Obama golfing, what about Biden going to his beach home….
🙄🙄

Because he FEELS it too.
It's crystal clear where Trumpty Dumpty's priorities lie with his backers.
🇺🇲🔥
They’ve broken their oaths and are co-conspirators in criminal actions, Constitutional violations, and treason.
They can be detained. We need to stop the bleed and investigate.
We got 4 yrs of nonstop stories about hunter’s laptop but can’t even get a national security screw up to last a week in the media
Right?
Maybe he's right that it doesn't matter.
Vast majority of vets voted for him in 2024.
Less than a third of the eligible electorate voted for him. About a third just couldn't be arsed.

Dems have no power to fight this militarily.
You can't possibly seriously believe Mafia Don Mangolini gives a flying fickle fuck for this kind of "optics"...
🙄🙄🙄
Joe Biden should go meet those boys instead.
It underscore everything about who he is !!!
But NOT our US President because he has no honor.
Easiest way to get him would be to accuse him of shiting himself at every opportunity. Leave the room, ask what the smell is etc
Ask the clatty bastard what the fucking smell is, see how he copes
"The optics are bad" the optics don't fucking matter, no one with the power to stop any of this is going to.
I don't have any answer you'll like.
The government should fear it's people, and it has no reason to even *listen* to it's people right now.
"They" think he'll keep them safe and in power.
Think that's far-fetched?
