While California burns to the ground, Puerto Rico continues to beg for help with recovering from Hurricane Maria, and Congress is fighting over the fate of DACA and various healthcare and assistance programs, Trump went golfing with Senator Lindsey Graham – we can only guess why. Afterward, Graham took to Twitter to stroke Trump’s ego – again, we can only guess why.
Really enjoyed a round of golf with President @realDonaldTrump today.
President Trump shot a 73 in windy and wet conditions!

One Twitter user said Graham’s tweet sound like a babysitter telling a child’s parents what their child accomplished that evening. Won checkers, got all their math problems right on the first try, whatever. He’s not wrong. It does come across like that.

William LeGate sort of saw it that way too, using the #DonnyDaycare hashtag in his tweet and saying:
Don’t be so mean to Lindsey Graham… he had to play babysitter for #DonnyDaycare on a holiday & was probably forced to tweet this.

There are also others:
So you were Adult Day Care attendant today. Thank you.

Sounds like the adult-day-care is taking a field trip! #DonnyDayCare

Guess it’s Lindsey’s shift to babysit.

And, of course, Graham put himself down in a followup ego-stroking tweet that’s sure to make Trump’s ego burst with pride:
How bad did he beat me? I did better in the presidential race than today on the golf course!
Great fun. Great host.

Many are angry that he and Trump went golfing when there’s so much on the table. Yes, people need breaks, but come on. Graham has never been a Trump fan, so what is this?
