The Washington Post, like many leftist news outlets, are all over the place. Their lead article is actually rather nice
Trump, world leaders salute Normandy veterans on D-Day anniversary
But then we have unhinged in the opinion section
For D-Day, Trump recalls the heroism of … Donald Trump
My father served on D-Day. He experienced a leader who spawned hatred.
And right under the lead story we get one which should be in the opinion section
Trump ending trip to Europe by staying at his money-losing golf course threatened by climate change
President Trump arrived at his golf course in Doonbeg, Ireland, on Wednesday for a two-night stay — pausing between official events in Europe to visit a business that has cost him $41 million and never reported turning a profit.
Trump, coming off an official state visit to Britain, landed at Shannon Airport in the west of Ireland and met briefly with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar before flying to Doonbeg, about 40 miles away.
The Irish Times reported that Trump originally wanted to meet with Varadkar at his golf club, but Varadkar wanted to meet at another nearby hotel. The two leaders settled on an awkward compromise: the VIP lounge at the airport.
So, instead of costing the taxpayers oodles of dollars staying at a fancy pants 5 star resort owned by someone else like with Obama, Trump stays at his own fancy pants resort, costing the taxpayers nothing for him, Melania, all the staff, the Secret Service, etc.
The Trump Organization cited climate change in its application for the permit, according to a Politico report from 2016, saying that sea-level rise and more-powerful storms had worsened the threat of erosion. Trump the politician, of course, has questioned idea that climate change is a threat at all — defying the overwhelming scientific consensus and his own golf course’s assessment of its future.
They never claimed it was climate change which is mostly/solely caused by Mankind.
At Doonbeg, Trump is likely to find something that escaped him in London: a warm welcome. Trump’s club employs more than 200 people, making it one of the largest employers in a rural area of County Clare. Reporters visiting the area in advance of his visit found that locals — even those who disagreed with his politics — thanked him for bringing customers and money to Doonbeg.
“People divorce Donald Trump the owner of the golf course from his politics,†said James Griffin, a member of the Trump club interviewed by the Irish Times. “People have their own ideas about his policies. The big thing here are the jobs he supports.â€
Huh. How about that. Democrats might want to remember that come election time, as the jobs market is doing pretty darned well under President Trump.
