Golf-cation!

Your tax dollars at work here folks...
Hey, guess what the President is doing right now? If you said having his KFC-stuffed, popular-vote losing septuagenarian ass driven around his private golf course you'd be wrong. That was earlier today. Right now I'd imagine he's lying on a sofa somewhere, dozing with the television on in the background. I'm guessing there's some drool running down his chin and he's probably still clutching a greasy cheeseburger wrapper in one leathery hand. I don't know. I'm just painting a picture here.

"World War III? Why should I worry
about that? I'm like a hundred..."

-John Bolton, garbage human
What I do know is that he fled our nation's capitol yesterday after a busy day of appointing a rabid foam-lunatic his national security adviser and then announcing that people with gender dysphoria are too much trouble to let serve in the military. Add to that the way he had to sign that funding bill even though he didn't get that racist border wall he promised the racists that voted for him he'd build. Uh...racistly. I mean, all that's got to take a lot out of an unqualified gameshow host.

Pictured: More people showing up
to say what a shit job he's doing than
came to watch him get sworn in.
But the best part is that he's going on another golf-cation-is that a thing rich people say? Like, a vacation but with golf? Golf-cation? No? Anyway, the best part is that he's playing golf while hundreds of thousands of students are marching on Washington and other cities around the world to protest Trump and lawmakers and what can only be described as their sexual relationship with the gun lobby and their failure to rein in gun violence. I say best part because the President running away to Florida to golf while all this is happening is just everything wrong with this administration.

Above: thousands turning out to yell
at the street where Trump might pass by,
but didn't. That's how sick of him we are.
One could argue that he's not running from the protestors, but that the rally just happens to coincide with one of his incredibly frequent golf trips. But one would be wrong. Because earlier today impromptu crowds of protesters lined up along the usual golf-course to Mar-a-Lago route the President takes to tell the President what they think of him. They were disappointed however as the motorcade took a different, longer route so the President wouldn't have to look on the dissatisfied rabble and could instead enjoy his vacation the rabble is paying for.

Ok, but will today change anything? I hope so. Like, not Trump, he's gonna ride his policy of recklessly aggressive narcism and twitter-trolling like Slip Pickins on the bomb either to his own political ruin or some kind of civilization ending cataclysm. Whichever requires less physical effort on his part. But surely some lawmakers will look out on a crowd this large and, if not come to reason, then come to the conclusion that holy shit, these kids will be old enough to vote, and soon, and maybe now's a good time to act like grown-ups.
Also, I hope that it sinks in for the GOP (and some Democrats, but you know,
mostly Republicans), that they're looking at a generation that's just waiting
for them to die off so they can finally fix this shitshow they've left them with.
