Trump Skips Trip to Poland Honoring WWII to Monitor Hurricane- plays golf instead

[Zippyjuan]

That was going to be the same trip where he was going to have a state visit with Denmark- he cancelled that stop after Denmark laughed at his suggestion they sell him Greenland. Poland had a royal castle all set up for Trump.

President Donald Trump spent several hours Saturday at his private golf club in Northern Virginia, receiving updates on the approach of Hurricane Dorian to the U.S. East Coast, after canceling a visit to Poland to monitor the storm’s progress.

The president traveled to Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, by helicopter early Saturday after spending the night at Camp David, the rustic presidential retreat in northern Maryland. He returned to Camp David after about 4 1/2 hours, and had a late-afternoon briefing on Dorian, a Category Four hurricane.

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Trump traveled Saturday with an official from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and received hourly updates. She later tweeted that Trump had, as planned, received a briefing on Dorian at Camp David.

The White House doesn’t routinely confirm Trump’s golf games although it sometimes releases the names of his playing partners. Photos of Trump golfing will appear on social media from time to time. The presidential press pool, which was not at Camp David, spent much of Saturday at a location near the golf club.

Trump tweeted about Dorian at 10 a.m., reflecting the latest forecasts in saying “South Carolina could get hit MUCH harder” from the storm, which earlier had zeroed in on Florida.

He also warned Alabama about the hurricane- despite the weather service saying there is no threat to Alabama.

Trump again mentioned Alabama during a hurricane briefing by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as he was advising American citizens in Dorian's path to heed the warnings and evacuation orders from local authorities.

"It may get a little piece of a great place — it's called Alabama, and Alabama could even be in for at least some very strong winds," Trump said. "This just came up, unfortunately. It's the size of the storm that we're talking about. So for Alabama, please be careful also."

Despite Trump's insistence, forecasters stressed that Dorian currently is not expected to pose a threat to Alabama.

"Alabama will NOT see any impacts from #Dorian. We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane #Dorian will be felt across Alabama. The system will remain too far east," the National Weather Service station in Birmingham tweeted.

President Trump took time Saturday to play a round of golf on his Virginia course despite the Category 5 Hurricane Dorian on track to pummel the southeast coast.

Trump was scheduled to be at Camp David in Maryland preparing for the hurricane but traveled to his Sterling, Virginia golf course by helicopter, which took a little more than four hours.

Trump has so far played golf 212 times while in office.

Nice to know that someone here will be championing gutting the 2020 budget for the National Centers for Environmental Prediction. As of 1800 UTC 01SEP19, the 120 hr guidance from the TCLP model track has Dorian right over Huntsville, AL. The NWS should immediately furlough some heads across the centers and get in front of the Twitter storm before additional calls are made for budget cuts.

So what? Frankly, I wish he and everyone else in the federal government would spend more time golfing - a LOT more time ...

He's going to make a deal with the hurricane to leave us alone, the best deal.

Anyone 20 years old in 1945 will be 90 years old next yr . I would guess staying home for the hurricane would be the right thing . Playing golf , not so much .

 

[kcchiefs6465]

Next Zippy will be telling us that Donald Trump golfs above par.

True, this might sound crazy but I rather have Trump in the White house pretending to care than have people like Bolton and Pompeo doing all the policy work and just presenting him with document to sign. Ever notice how those especially never go on vacation?

I don't think even Poland gives a fuck about Poland.

TCLP track now has Dorian headed to Cleveland. Waiting with bated breath for talking heads to claim that Mr. MAGA is denying science and ignoring the experts in his own Administration.

I know that its generally in poor taste to quote oneself but it looks like some head rolling was threatened and NPR when full apoplectic today, ten days after the dreaded Alabama event.

https://www.npr.org/2019/09/10/759296457/sharpiegate-blossoms-into-a-full-fledged-political-crisis

And, yes, it appears as - there are allegations first reported by The New York Times that the commerce secretary, which is over - who is over all of this stuff, personally got involved and said, heads are going to roll at NOAA if the National Weather Service are contradicting the president. It is triggered, the review, by the acting chief scientist. It's triggered, apparently, an inspector general's review, you know, the question of whether or not these agencies are being allowed to operate free of partisan involvement.

So this is the problem with government by model. You can't take the model's pension away, you can't fire it, you can't reassign it and make it someone elses problem. You can't subpoena its emails or call it to testify before Congress, and you can't send to to jail for lying. A climate model says there should be no snow pack on Kilamanjaro in 2020. A climate model says we should be growing oranges in the boot heel of Missouri by 2030. Models shall not be questioned because the science is settled.

If they are going to show photos, why post such photos that could hurt alpha image/send out beta vibes?
Media does look biased.

Trump attacked for spending '1 in every 5 days' at a golf club in 2019

President famously told voters in 2016 he would be too busy ‘working for you’ to play

• Andrew Buncombe Seattle
• 7 hours ago

Donald Trump has been criticised after it was reported he spent nearly one out of every five days playing golf last year – despite famously telling voters he would be too busy working for such activity.

Even before he launched his bid for the White House, Mr Trump frequently criticised Barack Obama for playing the game, something the 44th president reserved for when he was on vacation.
