Trump Sticks Press in Basement With Blacked Out Windows While He Golfs

Donald Trump likes to golf. He owns golf courses around the world, after all. Donald Trump does not like the media. We know this because he talks about it, he tweets about it, and he likely dreams about it. This weekend, the president took another break from Washington, D.C. and headed south to Mar-a-Lago. On Saturday, Trump suited up to play a round of golf with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The weather looks nice enough in Jupiter, Florida, the site of the Trump National Golf Club—mid-70s, bit of cloud cover, but nothing to stress over. As good a day as any for a little golf diplomacy.

But what to do with the press while you’re teeing off?

Yikes. Needless to say, that seems a bit extreme.

American presidents playing golf has never been a particularly top-secret affair.

Trump golfs with Japan's Abe press in basement with blacked out windows.

Those blackout curtains are garbage bags. So really don't they have a full unobstructed view of Trump?

Any real reason the press needs to be there in the first place? SInce most of them will just invent a story anyway they really don't need to watch the game.

Relegating the fake-news brigade to a basement, and they agreed?..... That is waaayyyy too funny

The Breitbart guy got to caddy as a reward for only reporting the right alternate facts.

In a basement with windows blocked by garbage bags. Seems appropriate. Although it would have been more appropriate to have them sitting by the curb in garbage bags.

Bill Clinton looks half cut there in that photo...

"Wheres my beer?"
