Trump, Golf, and Gofers

Well, our stars and bars! South Carolina Sen. Lindsey "Huckleberry" Graham has been used in those naughty games of the White (Supremacist) House "resistance" to keep themselves America safe from corrupt mental case Donald "Rump" Trump. According to Bob Woodward's book "Fear," Huckleberry (who's become quite the obsequious surrogate for Rump), was sent on golfing escapades with Rump in order to fumigate the Oval Office talk him down from disastrous decisions he was about to make, according to the Washington Post:

“White House legislative aides would prep them on helpful messages they were trying to share or ‘disasters they were trying to divert,’ according to a former senior administration official. A current senior administration official defended the practice as ‘standard staff work in any White House.'”

We can imagine Rump listening to the sweet Southern accent of Huckleberry and getting an image of Confederate States Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, another "dumb Southerner" in Rump's mind. Huckleberry's transformation from a McCain buddy expressing concerns about Rump to a full-on towel boy for him has raised questions about whether he's been compromised in some way by Rump. Time for another round of golf, now that Rump's gone "volcanic."
