Trump Ditches the Press to Play Golf!
Trump sent the press into another tizzy when he ditched the press pool over his Christmas holiday to go play golf.
From The Hill:
Donald Trump ditched his protective press pool on Saturday to play golf, leaving behind the group of journalists responsible for documenting the president-elect’s movements at all times, according to The Associated Press.
Stephanie Grisham, a spokeswoman for the Trump transition team, confirmed to the AP that the president-elect had made a “last minute trip” to Trump National Golf Club Jupiter, about a half-hour drive from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., where Trump has been staying for the holidays.
“We are in the home stretch of this transition period and don’t anticipate any additional situations like this between now and inauguration,” Grisham said in a statement.
“We hope this one incident doesn’t negate all the progress we have made and look forward to continuing the great relationships we have built,” she added.
Trump’s movement was apparently first discovered by the press pool when a golfer tweeted about spotting the billionaire on the Jupiter course.
It’s not the first time Trump has broken with presidential protocol and ditched the press pool during the transition.
Shortly after the election in November, Trump went out to dinner in Manhattan without informing the press pool of his whereabouts, stirring backlash.
Since then, his aides have made an effort keep members of the media informed of his movements.

You’re kidding me. “Ditched his protective press detail…” WHAT protective service do the idiots from the press provide? They COVER, they don’t PROTECT anything except their stash of weed and whiskey. Oh, they also protect their couch where they “protect” each other and write about how the GUN NUTS are ruining America. The president has every right to go wherever he wants to go without a bunch of whiny assed so called journalists tagging along.
It would be more appropriately named the “antagonistic” press detail, but yeah….. “protective”? Only for obama
He does not need the media …they need Him
Good for DJT. Hope he keeps leaving these corrupt, semi-literate partisans in the dust.
