🎬 NOW STREAMING ON THE PORCH:
“At This Point, the Presidency Is Just His Side Hustle Between Tee Times ⛳️”
Today’s episode is not about policy.
It’s not about strategy.
It’s about priorities.
While January 6 is back crawling through the public record like a raccoon that learned how to open doors, while the Epstein files are doing laps around the news cycle courtesy of Jack Smith, while the world is standing in the doorway tapping its foot like, “Sir… are you coming or not?” this man looks up from his golf cart and says, with his whole chest,
“I think the president’s golf course needs a makeover.”
Not a metaphor. Not a joke. Not satire.
An actual golf course. On a military base. That he has never played.
This one’s a roast, yes.
But it’s also a pattern piece.
Because when accountability knocks, this administration doesn’t answer the door. It books a tee time. When pressure builds, it doesn’t respond. It renovates. And when the world asks for focus, it gets landscaping.
Think less West Wing, more HGTV: Executive Avoidance Edition.
Gold fixtures. Fresh sod. Zero urgency.

It isn’t about one scandal or one bad night. It’s about accumulation. About timing. About what happens when the calendar flips but the consequences don’t. Sworn testimony landed. Old truths hardened. Unfinished business resurfaced. No shouting. No spectacle. Just the public record refusing to move on. This piece traces how those fires converged and why this moment feels heavier, quieter, and far less escapable.
If you’ve ever wondered how we got to a place where governance feels like a hobby and distraction looks like leadership, this episode lays it out calmly, clearly, and with just enough humor to keep you from screaming.
