Trump took his crazy to a whole new level by parking a box truck in front of his golf club, so that he couldn’t be filmed golfing instead of working.

Dan Merica of CNN reported, “You know, our job down here is to cover the president to tell our viewers what is he doing on a daily basis. Over the last few days, we’ve gotten video of the president golfing at his nearby golf club here in West Palm Beach. The President doesn’t really, and his staff doesn’t tell us when he is golfing. We have taken to going outside the golf course and filming him as he golfs through a break in hedges near the club. Today a big white box truck parked in front trying to obscure our shot of President Trump golfing. It is important to give video as the president does these things. And goes to something larger, tried to object score the fact that president trump golfs, according to our count 87 times as president. This was a man who ran for president and criticized Barack Obama for regularly golfing during his presidency. But that hasn’t continued in the Trump presidency. He has regularly visited the golf courses he’s owned. And white house aides have been hesitant to say he’s golfing. And the box truck is another example of the white house trying to obscure. We tried to confirm was this their truck we haven’t gotten many responses back so far.”

The President thinks that he can fool the American people into thinking that he is working and not golfing every day in Florida as long as the media captures no video footage of the perpetually on vacation Trump hitting the links. Trump isn’t fooling anybody. The American people know that he is costing them millions of dollars in vacation. Trump can’t handle being under the microscrope that is the US presidency.
The spotlight is on him 24/7 and Donald Trump can’t handle it.
A man who has spent decades building and living in his own mythology can’t deal with the cold reality that he no longer controls his own story.
