Washington Post asks for help identifying Trump's golf partners
Iranian proxies are rocketing the Bab al-Mandab, Pakistain has a new prime minister and government, Islamic State is threatening to immolate women and kiddies, Zim is holding elections, and an Islamic bad guy's been stabbed to death in a Brit prison. This is what's important to WaPo.[THEHILL] The Washington Post is soliciting help from the public to identify some of President Trump's golf partners on dozens of outings since he entered office. The Post issued a call Friday seeking tips to identify who might have golfed with Trump on 81 of the 111 days he is believed to have hit the links since becoming president. Only a few of Trump's golf partners since he has become president are known, a list that includes foreign leaders such as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as well as GOP politicians, Fox News personalities and others. The Post is asking readers to submit tips regarding specific days during Trump's presidency when he is thought to have golfed with a partner, citing a need for transparency for those whom the president spends hours with in a private setting. The newspaper cited Trump's propensity to play in private settings away from cameras as a reason why identifying his partners has been so difficult. "In part this is because Trump chooses to play on courses where he can keep outside observers from seeing what’s going on. That also means that it’s often hard to learn about his partners and, further, to confirm that he was joined on the course," the article reads. Posted by: Fred 2018-07-29 |
