A special treat ahead of Presidents’ Day 2020.

Presidents’ Day is on Monday, February 17th.

Below is news about ‘The Donald’ from erstwhile political journalist George Bennett at The Palm Beach Post, news from way before the election results on November 8th, 2016. Bennett retired from the Post in June 2019 and so did a lot of loyal readers of that newspaper.

Besides being a true professional in the journalism business Bennett has a talent for the “turn of phrase” so to speak. Sometimes whimsically satirical he could turn an ordinary story into one the public actually sees as taking the time to read. Proper satire, when used properly, is not something thrown at you. That is called bloviating. George Bennett was not a bloviator.

Without further ado. . .


A special treat for Presidents’ Day.

BTW. Did you hear the rumor “The Donald” requested the Palm Beach County Commission move the Palm Beach County jail one mile further away for longer drives and wider bunkers at the future Trump International Golf Club?

IT’S NOT TRUE! Many reporters actually fell for that one. But not George Bennett.
