Poor Fredo
Eric Trump, the family’s Fredo, defended his Dad’s obsessive golfing to a fawning Irish reporter:
While on the subject of golf, I raise the fact that his father has been criticised in recent days for playing 16 times since his inauguration. Eric says his father uses the game to de-stress but there is also another good reason for it – professional bonding.
“You can sit with somebody in a golf cart where there might be cultural differences and language barriers and have a good time and build a friendship in a way that you could never do sitting across an office table from someone – and I think being able to go to Mar-a-Lago [Trump’s Florida estate], it is my father’s Crawford, Texas.”
First off, what the hell does Trump have to de-stress from? He doesn’t do anything. Second off, he’s only interested in conducting America’s business with people who play golf? Third off, Crawford is the comparison he wants to make? Really, Fredo, really? Crawford?
Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.
Qusay Trump does not do his father– Don the Con any favors when he defends him. The family hypocrisy is staggering.
1They wish Mar-a-Lago had as much class as Crawford. Or, for that matter, as a third world city dump.
2Another remark that is baffling until you remember how privileged these buggers are. They have no clue that anyone else lives any other way.
And Camp David is just so tacky with all of those icky trees and things.
3Somebody remind me: did GW Shrub charge hefty membership fees for entrance to the Crawford “ranch”, the way Asterisk in-Thief Trumpsky does at Tsar-a-Loco?
See emoluments, say emoluments (try it – it rolls right off the tongue). And don’t forget to say treason when you see that!
4Just be thankful that Trump has no interest in Camp David, otherwise he would have brought in the bull dozers to create a golf course there.
5What does Trump have to de-stress from? Let me count the ways.
1. Russiagate
2. Worst early term approval ratings in modern history.
3. Russiagate
4. Realizing his incompetence.
5. Russiagate
6. Having to add the word ‘electoral’ every time he brags about his ‘win’.
7. Russiagate
8. Losing Obamacare standoff.
9. Russiagate
10. The Dems taking over congress in 2018.
11. Russiagate
12. Being ridiculed around the world.
13. Russiagate
14. Eric.
15. Russiagate
16. Inauguration crowd size.
17. Russiagate
18. A fried rat in his KFC.
19. Russiagate
20. His small penis.
21. Russiagate
22. His small penis.
…
Maybe they should replace the Oval Office’s carpet with a putting green. or turn the White House into a miniature golf course. The 18th hold could be Alex Baldwin as Trump with his mouth open so strangely.
6IMPEACH TRUMP.
7Aw, gee! Well, what else could anyone expect from a Fredo? This family doesn’t have one damn thing to brag about in a good healthy way.
8“… build a friendship in a way that you could never do sitting across an office table from someone…”
——————————-
Really? Building a friendship depends on where you are and a common, ordinary typical business setting could utterly derail a budding friendship?
If so, you’re incompetent at friendship and at business. Which the trumps are, so no surprise there.
9Crawford, Texas. Where a man cut the same piece of wood in front of the same outbuilding for 8 years. In jeans.
Mar-a-Lago. I’d like to see the social security numbers for all of the brush cutters who’ve worked there since it opened.
10Civilians couldn’t get within a quarter mile of the Crawford White House. I think we should have the same rules for Trump Tower and Mar a Lago. What fun that would be.
11Crawford would be a much better option. W went to Crawford 77 times in 8 years at a cost of $226,042 per trip. Total cost was $17 million in 8 years.

Thus far, Trump has spent $25 million on just 7 trips to Mar a Lago.

By comparison, President Obama spent $35 million over 8 years for trips home to Hawaii.

If he really cared about coal miners in West Virginia and Kentucky, he would vacation there and spend our money where it could do some good. Opps! Republicans don’t so economic stimulus, they are still stuck on trickle-down economics.
12“Fredo.”
God, that’s so perfect. That’s his name from now on, as far as I’m concerned.
13ronanon, in assuming that Donnie has to de-stress from those problems, you’re assuming that his bloated ego gives a rat’s ass about them. Okay, maybe the Obamacare farce, but that’s not HIS fault (in his tiny mind).
14I think Camp David has a nine-hole golf course. Good enough for Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Barack Obama and their guests but, I’m sure, if Trump ever saw it, he’d call in the bulldozers to “improve” it for himself.
15It’s hard for me to equate Hair Drumpf to Fredo Corleone, if that is indeed the parallel being made here. Except the uncontrolled womanizing, I can’t see that.
Of course if you meant Frodo Baggins, the Hobbit, I see your point.
16I was wrong. Eisenhower had a famous golf course designer
17put in a one-hole “course,” with four different tees. Gerald
Ford liked to play there, too.
These were presidents who liked to relax once in a while, but did their presidenting work more than 50% of the time.
Excellent comment ronanon. The Orange Whore family is a zoo of deplorables.
18I did a little reading about Camp David. It has a hardened underground command post for use in emergencies. This goes back to the Eisenhower administration. The name of the underground command post is . . . Orange One.
I am not kidding.

19Destress? Run away is more like it. Fredo has opened yet another chapter in trump family hypocracy. Run away and make sure the American tax payer gets cheated out of every possible cent. President Obama worked hard for the American people and earned his vacations. All traitor trump has earned is impeachment.
20Poor Fredo? More like poor hard working Italian-Americans cannot catch a break. Err-Reich is no Fredo. He lacks the work ethic and has learned nothing but fraud and corruption at Donnie’s knee.
Oh, and wash your hair Err-Reich. Your sainted grandmother’s hair style doesn’t work for you or your father. No amount of grease or hairspray can substitute for having an actual big boy haircut.
21Is any one of them NOT Fredo?
