Trump Checks Out Early For Golf Club as World Burns

[douglas9]

According to the official White House pool schedule for Friday, June 20, 2025, Trump is scheduled to depart Washington at 2:00 PM, hours before the end of the typical workday.

After a closed-door national security meeting at 11:00 AM, Trump, will board Marine One en route to Bedminster, where he’s expected to attend a private MAGA Inc. dinner at his golf club later in the evening.

With the world on edge, the president’s early departure underscores a pattern critics say reflects misplaced priorities, favoring fundraising and familiar retreats over the day-to-day demands of governance.

1. Just like he left the G7 early, so he could be someplace where he was adored rather than hated like here

[Irish_Dem]

2. The rest of us get too many damn days off.

We should work more so Trump can play golf, eat, and visit his hookers.

[0rganism]

3. Meanwhile the rest of us get "too many paid holidays"

If a Democratic president, or even a less-vindictive Republican president, did this even once, it would be non-stop negging from the press for months. With F47, totally normal, nothing to see here.

4. Or the Congress

And senate work days in a year. And all of us lazy tax paying freeloaders pay them All to do it. How dare we get a paid day off.
He needs two weeks to focus on the decision to kill millions. That much stress deserves golf and the chance to make money off of us to do it.
So get off your asses old folks, no more free cash, Veggies need picking, roofs need replaced, by crippled old dead beats and vets. When we die in the fields, leave the bodies and mulch em up to feed the soil. God blessings abound.

"More more more cuts to food banks. Ha ha.
And more more more Gourmet G.O.P. Luxury Golffe for billionaires.
Ha ha. Sucker taxpayers. HAHA." - G.O.P.

6. I wonder if

Trump dreams of being able play golf after death. Or, is he going to skip the war he's threatening so he can play a few more holes with other rich guys.

7. It's not a "misplaced priority" for Tubby TuTone. It's spot on. n/t

[yourout]

8. And he was the arsonist that started the fire.

[sheshe2]

9. I wish the title just read:

Trump checks out.

End of story.

[AZJonnie]

15. We really don't drink at my house, only on vacations away

That being said, when that glorious day finally arrives, I plan to wake up hungover in the living room, still clutching my fourth or fifth champagne bottle

[sheshe2]

17. Lol...

I would drink to that! What a celebration with dancing in the streets!

[C_U_L8R]

11. MAGA Inc.

Sounds like a criminal organization.

Oh right, duh, cause it is.

[VMA131Marine]

12. Golf is part of Trump's pathology

People with dementia feel most comfortable with things they are familiar with. New things are very unsettling.

[The Roux Comes First]

13. Most Grade-school Children Are Bright Enough to Curb Their Self-indulgent Impulses

Better than our Narcissist-in-Chief.

14. G.O.P. golffe grandees will dine tonight on lobster tails stuffed with caviar

or something similar. Nothing but the best* for the G.O.P. Billionaire Bros.

* The best taxpayers can be suckered for.

[AZJonnie]

16. Isn't it a dinner at one of Orangina's establishments?

That means the menu they sent out to get the suckers there probably said "Maine Lobster Tail with drawn butter and caviar' but when they arrive, it'll be "Jonah Crab legs with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter + capers"

[BoRaGard]

18. Whatever they serve, we taxpayers will get the bill

[AZJonnie]

19. Oh, yeah, forgot to mention that part

TAXPAYERS will be billed for the Lobster and Caviar as well, for sure. That was supposed to be in there but I forgot at the last minute.

[BoRaGard]

20. What's the score? U.S. taxpayers have a right to know how our $ is being squandered

paying for G.O.P. billionaire to go luxury golfing.

Not the golf scores. No one gives a shit about that. We know it would be a lie anyway.

What's the score on how much of our tax money is being squandered this weekend
by Krasnov and his billionaire golffe cronies?

How many millions is the G.O.P. ripping us off for this weekend?

21. George W. Bush gave up golf during the Iraq War because he felt the optics were wrong

Trump is going to golf while the 82d and 101st Airborne Divisions are busy going through pre-deployment checklists and vehicle loadout.

[Liberal In Texas]

22. I'll beg the pilots of Marine One just love those new flag poles.
