Before taking off for another long weekend of playing golf with his billionaire cabinet members and the paying members of his private golf club, Trump squeezed in a press conference with recently confirmed Veterans Administration Secretary David Shulkin. Trump was touting a return to Mar-A-Lago, saying he was hosting a big meeting at his “Southern White House” to tackle veteran’s issues with billionaire Ike Perlmutter, CEO of Marvel Entertainment. One problem. He turned to the man in charge of Veterans Affairs and said, “So, are you going to be at that meeting?” Shulkin shakes his head no. No, the man in charge of Veterans Affairs apparently did not make the cut for the billionaire gathering at Mar-A-Lago to discuss Veterans Affairs. Awkward!
Watch the incredible exchange:
But, hey—nobody knows veterans and Veterans Affairs like five-time draft dodger Donald Trump. Who needs experts in high-level meetings like that when the biggest know-it-all on the planet is the one hosting?
