Individual-1 was bored on his return plane flight and decided to tweet-attack Speaker Pelosi, but he did achieve that media promotion of his Irish golf course.
Trump’s running total is now over 192 days of golf at over $102 million.
Trump Using Marine One As A Prop To Promote His Irish Golf Course
Minutes after Trump left his course at Doonbeg, it posted video of his arrival there aboard a government helicopter and him getting ready to tee off in promotional material.
President Donald Trump’s for-profit golf course in Ireland on Friday started using video of his arrival aboard Marine One and of him getting ready to tee off in its promotional material.
Videos were posted on the Trump International Golf Links, Doonbeg, Twitter feed within minutes of his departure back to Washington. Trump played golf there at least Friday morning and possibly on Wednesday and Thursday, as well. The video of him on the first tee, with the Atlantic Ocean in the background, was also posted on the resort’s Facebook page.

“...when asked if his trip to Ireland was just to promote his golf course, he said ‘this trip is really about great relationships that we have with the U.K’ ignoring the fact that Ireland has not been part of the UK since 1922. ”
Champaign wishes and caviar dreams… Like the last visit to Scotland, other craven agendas were at work.
As you’ve no doubt heard, Donald Trump recently wrapped up a state visit to the U.K. that his adult children viewed as a free vacation, and Instagrammed accordingly. And while sons Don Jr. and Eric politely enjoyed attending dinner at Buckingham Palace in their ill-fitting tailcoats, hitting up the bars in a small Irish town where their father owns a golf course that he made sure to promote was clearly more their speed.

Mick Mulvaney has invited the Irish ambassador to the US Dan Mulhall to play in another four-ball on Friday. The diplomat hopes that the sun will shine on the US president and that the cameras catch him hitting his first ball.
“One value is for American TV to get shots of the president teeing off in Ireland and the sunshine. If the rain is coming in horizontally, it won’t make such great television,” Mulhall said.
Pub crawl
What did make great TV was Trump’s sons Eric and Donald junior strolling up Doonbeg’s main street on Wednesday night on their pub crawl as they mingled with locals, posing for selfies and buying drinks for four pubs full of people who were jubilant at their impromptu visit.
