WTH even is that about?
I mean… if you pee out in the public, on a golf course, I don’t think you can expect privacy. I don’t think someone should snap photos of you peeing either, but this is a weird case.

Every golfer in the entire world has pissed in public on a golf course.
Seriously. Anyone here want to deny doing it? Because you are a liar.
Usually, when one of my friends is doing it, one of the other folks will shout at the top of their lungs, “Hey! What are you doing over there? What’s that in your hands?”
“This is no time to have your putter out, Jack!”

Opposed it maybe, they couldn’t have prevented it. The War Powers Act gave Obama basically 2 months to do whatever he wanted and there isn’t anything Congress could really do about it. Obama’s addiction to what he thinks governance should be versus the modern reality of it bit him in the ass. He wanted Congress to vote on it, you know like the Constitution says to, but we stopped doing that a looong time ago.
President Trump and King Abdullah II Hold a Joint Press Conference (WH):

Prediction time:
Tomorrow Trump meets with the president of China.
Will he merely embarrass the country, or create a make international incident?
I’m waiting for the photo op. Trump visibly muttering a reminder to himself not to manhandle the premier on the handshake, Xi visibly bracing for the assault. Chinese journalists and bloggers everywhere poised like hawks for even the slightest insinuation of a discourtesy…

The Chinese are so much more sophisticated with diplomacy, foreign policy, intelligence operations, etc… than anybody in the Trump administration. Simultaneously, I have no doubt that Trump fancies himself to be a more shrewd and intelligent negotiator than anybody in China. They’re going to use, abuse, turn, twist, mount, and discard him as President, and he’ll never be the wiser.
So tomorrow? As far as I’m concerned, with regards to China, Trump already has created international incidents and embarrassed the country. Tomorrow will be no different.

Come on, Trump has probably been extensively briefed on protocol and cultural cues as interpreted in Chinese society.
But of course he has. He’s probably having chop suey served at the subsequent meal. With a fortune cookie.

I expect him, during a joint press conference, to say something like, “I had dinner with your friend General Tsao the other day.”

It’s guaranteed that he mentions how China is a tenant in his building.
This is so full of win I actually heard it in Trump’s voice.
