Charges them more than the going rate for rooms and golf carts, which are mandatory if they want to sleep and follow him around.

And, of course, since it's his golf course, 100% of the money goes into his own pocket.

I think it might make the Islamic Republic lowlife feel better if Trump weren't golfing. Their feeling better increases the risk to our troops and dismays the Iranian people who are being held hostage by these Islamic Republic dirt balls.

I really don't think people understand the concept of war very well. Transparency, predictability, etc. Those are bad things. I see some media person asking Trump for schedules or what might be next, and I can't help but think that there must be quite a few simple minded people who, in addition to the idiot journalist, really think it's good if Trump answers the question.
