Report that highlighted Trúmp's attitude to the public

Lots of the usual stuff about Trůmp ignoring Courts orders, etc. But to me that he seems to relish taking something that is used by locals "of all income levels" and turn it into some excluside high end (and thus expensive) place again illustrates his complete sociopathy.

Absolutely. He holds 'ordinary people' in utter contempt. He thinks he is a god.

"...responded to Trump by saying that the course is part of a national park and recreation facility that is meant for everyone to enjoy."

Everyone can enjoy it, as long as they can afford it. 😤

Apologies, my mistake. This was Gibbon, in the History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Easy mistake to make.

Haha. Trump claimed he couldn't attend court as required on 16 October because he needed to attend to matters of "national importance". The BBC lawyers were obviously interested in what these matters were.

BBC lawyers lawyering well. I think Trump will cave sooner or later.

He can’t cave before the mid terms.

He can’t cave before the mid terms.

He's in a pickle then as I don't see how he can cave after them either.

Probably from Trūmp's perspective that's true as "everybody" means "everybody that counts" or "everybody that matters" and that group can easily afford whatever his family decide to change them to use his newly acquired golf course.

In Donnie's mind anything that is cheap is an opportunity for greater profit. And nothing, absolutely nothing, should be free.
Reference BT's post about cash in Brazil.

This discussion fits better in this thread

A subsection of the US elite are still doing well out of the Trump regime.

A large minority of the US (30% or so) still think one day they'll be part of that minority of the elite.

About time that was now changed to the American Delusion.

It has always been a delusion.

And a relevant post by PZ Myers on the dream always having been an illusion

Republicans obviously properly rattled by the dire Trump polling, now threatening networks who broadcast ones Trump doesn't like.

Absolutely. He holds 'ordinary people' in utter contempt. He thinks he is a god.

He walked into a rally very recently and the voice over introducing him said "God gave us Trump".
So he must have approved it.

Meanwhile, he keeps mentioning handsome guys regularly, 'nice asses' (male reference) in a continuation of his 'death bed confessions'.
Give it a couple of weeks and he'll mention some felatio he did in '89.

This has been obvious since his testimony about Arnold Palmer, if not before.
Seriously, I think Putin has something on him along those lines.

In Onion-worthy news, Trump wants to put a swimming pool in where the White House press pool is now. The suspicion is that, like 'asylum', he can't conceive of one word meaning two different things, so needs to turn the press pool room into one filled with water, to match his understanding.
