Factually, that's what he did during his time in office as well. I'm not sure what they thought had changed.

concerned family member shows up - "oh my God, is he ok??"

Aide, visibly shaken - "I honestly don't know, I've never seen him like this.."

concerned family member - "is..is he out there right now?*

Aide - yes... I'm so worried, he is out there right now, just.. playing golf, all day, every day... he needs to stop and confront his feelings and all he can do is golf sob"

CFM "earlier you said 27 holes... he must be exhausted just trying to cope..this is really bad"

Aide - "IT IS SO BAD PLEASE HELP HIM!!"

CFM - "God be with me, I will get him to come inside and drink a diet coke. Hopefully he will snap out of this madness....."

Aide - "..please...go with God!"

CFM - "God will guide me to him. Wish me luck!"

removes leather shoes, hops in cart, and speeds away through the green grass, nary a thought to use the given path... this is the most important rescue in the world. People say that it was the most important, maybe, probably, the most important, ever.

And who would the concerned family member actually be? It almost had to be Eric or Jr. Surely none of the others give even the smallest shits.

I honestly didn't know who to write down, maybe Barron? He's heard of Trump, maybe he would actually want to give a hand to such a wretched soggy being? Or, imagine he might be invited to caddy the clubs behind the cart?
