True, 13 indictments against Russians for meddling but much more important to have a twitter war with Alex (Alec) Baldwin... priorities?
13 indictments against Russians who have nothing to do with the Trump campaign? Seems to me, all the Mueller probe has come across is DNC collusion, not that collusion is a criminal act...
Also, his tweets too often consist of name calling, falsehoods, and an ego-centric defense...though some make the feckless claim that it is noteworthy that he fights back what is actually true is that he doesn't address the criticism but rather resorts to childish name calling - the ad hominem fallacy!
Ad hominem vs ad hominem then? I don't blame the president, when 90% of all news item about the president's accomplishments is negative. I don't see anything ego-centric or false about what he tweets.

First, you have no idea whether or not there was any coordination between the Russians and people in the Trump campaign, neither do I...maybe Mueller knows more than you think. DNC??? Yes, don't forget Manafort, Gates, Popadopoulus, Flynn, and maybe a few more including Kushner.

Perhaps you should look up Ad Hominem to understand how it is used as a fallacy. For example Lyin' Ted, Little Marco, Mr. Magoo, Loser, Goofy, Carly Fiorina - "Look at that face", McCain - “He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured, OK?", Lindsay Graham - "What a stiff, what a stiff, Lindsey Graham. By the way he has registered zero in the polls, A total lightweight.", Jonah Goldberg - “Jonah Goldberg of the once great Nat'l Review is truly dumb as a rock. Why does put this dummy on his show?”....If you notice he does not address what is said but simply attacks the individual, thus petulant child is entirely appropriate!

This is tiring if one has no interest in researching the truth...Look up "Trump Tweet lies" or "Trump false statements in tweets" or similar...you will find ample proof. Look up ego centric and trump and you will find myriad sites with documented resources.

When Trump was campaigning to become president, one of his promises was to seldom leave the White House so he could have plenty of time to "make America great again." Read about it here: Trump: 'I would rarely leave the White House' I guess his promise didn't pan out too well, lol.


I guess when President Trump made that statement he did not know about how poor the condition of the White House was and the mice and cockroach infestation after eight years of neglect from Obama.

its just typical trump!
TRUMP said:
"If I win I may never see my property -- I may never see these places again," Trump said at an August 2016 campaign event. "But because I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to go golfing, believe me. Believe me. Believe me, folks."

Al Gore invented the internet a few years ago and that is the place I get information. I think they made it available to all, but being a Democrat invention, you never know. These are just a few of the thousands of stories from both Liberal and Conservative news sources in the US, UK, Canada, and even India so I really do not understand how difficult it was to find this story for some…

I like him better on the golf course then in the Oval Office. We should be encouraging him to play more golf. More golf, less governing and the country will be saved.

Only if we can convince those 535 Legislators to join him. Else nothing really changes. It isn't the president that is the problem, it is the HOR and the Senate. And we just keep sending the same goons back time after time.

Your right, we need more golf courses.

He's a BUSINESSMAN. I've been around a lot of people who play golf, in the public, private and military sectors of life and the men ALL play golf to conduct business...or rather they use that excuse. Some men learn to play golf just for the access to top ranking CEOs. It was a very tough time for women to break into that camaraderie back in the day because virtually no business women, and daresay no women played golf nor had access like the men did.

Men, in general, don't like to sit and talk. Men, in general, like to be doing something while they talk. Ask any wife. Ask a daughter. Sons get it..."let's shoot hoops dad" (so he can brooch a touchy topic with him).

I'm in South Florida ... so maybe those in the rest of the country where golfing is not a number one sport just don't understand this. Trust me. Hundreds perhaps thousands of big business deals are made while playing golf. Business people (which now do include women) jump at the chance to "play a round of golf" in another state to conduct a business transaction (plus they write it off too). It's just the way it goes.

...and the fact he said he woudn't be playing golf if he got elected because "He'd be too busy working for the people who elected him into office!"? And the fact he spent YEARS whining and complaining every time President Obama played golf? The fact that President Trumps supporters jump to his defense every time he goes (pretty much every weekend, sometimes more) is simply one more thing people can look at and think "Man, how did what was bad for 8 years under the previous President suddenly become not only NOT bad but something real American men (tm) do!!"? :scratch:
