PINO Trump Watches Women Play Golf From Bulletproof Enclosure

Here he is, standing high above a worshipful crowd, watching money being made on the golf course he owns. There's something horribly wrong with this picture. Conflict of interest, at the very minimum.

1. A worshipful crowd?

He's parked in a solar oven and all those people are holding mirrors to augment the sun on a rainy day.

That's my story, and I'm sticking with it.

the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief is trying to dodge the reality of his treason against America. Keep throwing rocks, Mr. freaky republican chickenhawk. Just keep it up.

7. I'm curious about the bulletproof enclosure

Google has not been helpful.

It doesn't look like the temporary stand erected on Pennsylvania Avenue for the inauguration parade. The X cross-brace makes it look like a temporary structure.

Was this added to the property by the taxpayers?

A standard for all trump courses? I didn't see such a room when I worked events at the trump DC course in Virginia.

8. I'd be willing to bet large money that it's bulletproof.

Probably the windows are heavy lexan or acrylic, thick enough to stop a rifle bullet. That would be the work of the Secret Service, which doesn't want any President that visible and that high off the ground without ballistic materials.

On edit: the SS would insist on Level 8 materials, I'm sure. They are very, very heavy. I'm not sure that structure could support them, frankly.

It must've been where Don Kumquat got his fabulously sad idea about the transparent wall.

The image was fairly small and I thought all of the spectators, who are apparently taking pictures, were giving Trump the finger!

A kid can dream...
