Aides to former President Donald Trump are reportedly concerned that he’s golfing too much and campaigning too little.

But as his family visits his Bedminster, New Jersey golf course in August, the president seems to prefer hitting the links and appeared bored during a press conference at the course earlier this month. He didn’t seem too pleased about attending a fundraiser with donor Miriam Adelson either, The Washington Post reports.

Former aides told The Post that Trump prefers to have a less hectic schedule during his family’s time in Bedminster when he mostly spends time on the course. But aides, speaking anonymously, also told the paper that they didn’t want the former president sitting at home watching the Democratic convention and getting irate.

This comes as his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance says that he regrets that “a lot of people” took his 2021 “childless cat ladies” comments “the wrong way.”

He told NBC News in an interview broadcast on Sunday that he made “a joke” in “the service of a real substantive point.”

“This country has become too anti-family,” he added. “It’s too expensive to afford a house. It’s too expensive to afford groceries.”

1724648400Watch out JD Vance, these are the cities with the most childless cat ladiesRepublican VP candidate JD Vance might want to stop insulting childless cat ladies.

Pittsburgh – in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania where Trump is losing his lead – ranked as the top city for most single women who own cats, according to an analysis by The Independent.

In a 2021 interview, Vance complained that the country was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies” – including Kamala Harris – “who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”

That quote came back to haunt him after Donald Trump nominated him as his running partner, and the line quickly went viral.

1724630458Vance refuses to say whether Trump’s plans to expel millions of migrants would mean separating familiesVance sat down for an extended interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker on Meet the Press and took a line of questioning about one of Donald Trump’s main 2024 campaign promises: to enact the “largest deportation operation in American history”, per his campaign’s own description. What that represents in reality would be a massive operation requiring significant federal funding, state cooperation, and could result in serious repercussions to communities around the country.

But when asked by Welker a question with a seemingly obvious answer — whether the concept of separating family units, including young children from their parents, would be revived under a second Trump term — Vance could not answer.

1724626858Takeaways from the AP’s review of Tim Walz’s descriptions of his military recordDemocratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz served in the National Guard for 24 years, rising through the enlisted ranks and receiving an honorable discharge. It is a record seen as one of his political strengths. Republicans are trying to turn it into a weakness.

They have seized on criticism from former National Guard members denouncing Walz, the Minnesota governor, for retiring from the military in 2005 to run for Congress shortly before his unit was deployed to Iraq and for overstating the rank he held after he left the service. They also have pointed to a comment Walz made that implied he had seen combat, when he had not.

1724623258Walz’s exit from Minnesota National Guard left openings for critics to pounce on his military recordJohn Kolb, a retired Minnesota National Guard colonel, knew Tim Walz by reputation as an “excellent leader” who adroitly guided the enlisted troops in his field artillery battalion. But Kolb was stunned by what he saw when Walz left the military and entered politics.

Walz retired from the National Guard in 2005 to run for Congress just before his unit received an order to mobilize for the war in Iraq. Then during the campaign, Walz overstated the rank he held at the point he left the service.

“That is not the behavior I would expect out of a senior noncommissioned officer,” Kolb said in an interview.
