George Conway, husband of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, got a chuckle today out of a photo that captured President Trump grazing at his Florida golf course’s omelet bar.
Conway joked that it was an “emergency round,” highlighting the image of a very relaxed-looking president in the middle of what he claims is a “national emergency” on the southern border.
The photo was snapped by a “source” at the president’s golf resort in West Palm Beach near Mar-a-Lago and sent to journalist J.D. Durkin, Washington bureau chief for financial network Cheddar, he wrote on Twitter.
Durkin posted it, to the delight of thousands of his followers.
An image of a far more vigorous-looking Trump demanding, “Can you walk the walk?” from an old Walgreen’s ad hangs behind the bar.
Trump declared the national emergency Friday so he can build his border wall, despite the decision of Congress to give him only $1.37 billion to construct fencing.
He left for his golf vacation soon after.
He has no publicly scheduled events this weekend.
Turns out the border situation wasn’t all that dire after all.
He conceded earlier that he “didn’t need to” declare an emergency, but wanted the wall to be built faster.
The Supreme Court will likely have to determine how big of an emergency it really is.
Twitter got the picture:

In case you’re keeping track, Trump squeezed in declaring a “national emergency” in between weekends playing golf in Florida….on taxpayers dime.

I’m just glad to see he’s getting some eggs today. The importance of protein before an exhausting game of golf is so important during national emergencies. Those murderous MS-13 bad hombres duct taping women at the border are terrified right now, for sure.
America. #Blessed.

I’m sure #trump is getting a secret coded message from the omlet station to help defend America in this time of #NationalEmergency

Less than 24 hours after declaring a national emergency, President Trump’s motorcade has arrived at Trump National Golf Club in West Palm Beach. This is the 169th day he has spent at one of the Trump Property golf clubs.

You & I both know Trump was asking this omlet chef what he thought about Syria, while divulging classified information to him. Whatever that omlet chef said in response is our new US policy in Syria.
