While he waits for the many, many, many lawsuits and investigations into him to be resolved, one way or another, former President Donald Trump spends most of his days at his Mar-a-Lago Club doing what he enjoys most, playing golf and being told how great he is. And according to a recent story in the Washington Post, there’s one detail about his daily routine that is especially pathetic even for him.
Earlier this week, Rosalind S. Helderman, Josh Dawsey, Ashley Parker, and, Jacqueline Alemany published a report on what life is like for Trump in his private resort where he attempts to cling to some sense of normality, or at least his version of it. When he’s not having dinner with white supremacists and antisemites, Trump loves to spend a lot of time on his golf course. And that means he spends a lot of time driving his golf cart around. But this is no ordinary golf cart, according to WaPo.
“Natalie Harp, one of Trump’s employees and a former host on the pro-Trump cable network One America News, often accompanies Trump on his daily golf outings, riding the course in a golf cart equipped with a laptop and sometimes a printer to show him uplifting news articles, online posts or other materials,” wrote WaPo.
According to the article’s sources, Trump often plays golf six days a week, sometimes getting in as many as 27 holes in one go. They also mention how “Trump’s network of allies across the country requesting that they dial the former president to boost his spirits with positive affirmations.”
All of this sounds like the kind of thing you do to keep a toddler from having a tantrum, which, to be fair, is very much in line with everything we already know about Donald Trump.
