.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump ‘suggested’ VP Pence stay at president’s Irish golf club.
There are plenty of fine hotels in Dublin that could accommodate Vice President Mike Pence during his visit to Ireland, but the Republican and his family have instead decided to stay at Donald Trump’s luxury golf course – which is three hours away by car.
Pence, who is traveling with his wife, sister, and mother, is staying at the president’s Doonbeg, Ireland golf club during his trip to the country. Rather than stay in Dublin, where he is set for a day of meetings and events with Irish officials, Pence is making the back-and-forth trip from Doonbeg to Dublin, a more than one hour flight each way. Originally, Pence was scheduled to conclude his trip in Doonbeg, where the vice president has familial ties.
The VP’s aide added, “It wasn’t like a, ‘You must.’ It wasn’t like, ‘You have to.’ It’s a facility that could accommodate the team. Keep in mind, the Secret Service has protected that facility for him, too, so they sort of know the realities, they know the logistics around that facility.” Marc Short later emphasized that Pence is “personally paying all family expenses” as part of the visit to Ireland. That’s nice, although I’m not sure that fully addresses the larger problem.
