Already today, pool reports that Trump is back at his golf club for "meetings and phone calls," per the White House.

Today, from the start, White House acknowledges, per pool, "He may also step out to hit some golf balls, we're told but not yet confirmed."
-
Unless the motorcade stopped bc of a security issue, not sure why pool coverage of president's activity was thwarted like this. Pool report:pic.twitter.com/mLKAXNgdVt

Update: POTUS did greet supporters, but apparently did not get out of the vehicle, per pool. Related Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BR06htUg2M-/ pic.twitter.com/3ZRR8wGZbt

MEANWHILE: "White House could not yet confirm whether POTUS played any golf or hit any balls," from pooler.

Today's pooler,
@FrancoOrdonez, did not come to play. Thanks to him, as well as to yesterday's pooler,@bkamisar, for their work. -
tl;dr: White House will not say whether POTUS played golf on Saturday or Sunday—and put out propaganda Saturday night about his "work" day.

More about Saturday: President's team brought supporters to Mar-a-Lago. http://www.wptv.com/news/region-c-palm-beach-county/palm-beach/president-trump-surprises-supporters-with-invite-to-mar-a-lago …pic.twitter.com/Duttf1TLwx

This happened after Trump left the golf club and before dinner Saturday, during the daily briefing and call with Brazil time, per schedule.
-
So, even part of that "work" time was glad-handing.

We got another "Readout of the President's Day" from the White House today. Time the president's day, apparently, is over: 6:20 p.m.pic.twitter.com/ujjQR3EPJ6

As we learned Saturday, however, the readout from the White House does not necessarily have much to do with what POTUS actually did today.

Meanwhile, when the president speaks to the press, this happens:https://twitter.com/markknoller/status/843589440861880321 …

Great use of the platform. -
Thanks! It was the first one I made, a little experiment when a reader asked me to do it so they could share the thread more easily.

I'm tired of the White House playing these golf trips as "working". We are not stupid. I DO NOT WANT MY TAX DOLLARS TO PAY THESE EXPENSES.
