Americans Furious as Trump Hosts His Entire Grifting Family for a Last Weekend at Camp David

We hear that it doesn’t get much better than Camp David when it comes to nice posh digs set in the beautiful countryside in West Virginia. Every other president has used it often and relished it. But Trump doesn’t make money when he goes to Camp David, whereas when he goes to Mara-La-Go, or that place in New Jersey, or just going golfing across the river, he does at least make some money (a lot, when he goes to Mar-a-Lago), charging the Secret Service for all kinds of rentals, meals, etc. So he didn’t use Camp David much as a president.

But, hey, this is his last go-round, so to speak, and even he likely knows it deep down. The fight is more about asking for donations, which they do regularly, at least twice a day. He must have loved the fact that regular people would just “send him money” for no particular reason. So he’s still gotta fight because that’s maybe a full month of money to be collected. Damage to the country be damned.

One can almost “feel” the sadness, or the anger in the picture, depending upon where you lay your gaze. This was not a celebration. From the Daily Mail:

President Donald Trump boarded Marine One at his Trump National Golf Club on Friday, going straight from 18 holes of golf to Camp David to meet his family for a final Thanksgiving at the presidential retreat.

The president saluted two Marines in dress uniforms as he climbed aboard, still wearing his red golf jacket and red ‘Make America Great Again’ cap with the number 45 – he is the 45th president – embroidered on the side.

He’s headed to the posh, secluded presidential retreat in Catoctin Mountain Park, in Frederick County, Maryland, about 60 miles north of the White House.

We have been pounding home over and over that we face an emergency of unprecedented magnitude that is about 10 days to 14 days away, if the virus holds up to its usual pattern. We are near record levels of death and hospital admissions right now. Imagine the damage coming in ten days. A real president would’ve been in the situation room eating take out the entire day, surrounded by people who are the best in the field, begging to help.

Not this guy, nor anyone around him.

It really is pathetic, and, yes – sad. For all of us.

Twitter is disgusted and rightly furious:

Peace, y’all
