Just a reminder: the Constitution gives the president no authority over administering elections. Trump is once again trying to federalize what he has no power to control and is openly working to end free and fair elections. It’s not the first time.

Some Democratic member of Congress should propose a bill saying that a POTUS may golf at government expense no more than, say, once every 14 days, and must reimburse the Treasury for anything beyond that.
A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.
So…..fraud and waste? Eh?!?!
