... short-range air defence systems ...

Curious they were deemed to be needed within the US, where Qatar 1 was allowed to fly before the recent security fracas.

Trump is the opposite of Eisenhower, who golfed often as President, but then, Ike's country, just after WWII, had an economy that was humming along, and then, there were good jobs for all. OF course, Trump is the opposite Ike, he never served, saw service as something losers and suckers did, and couldn't run a war if he had to...oh right, he has to because he has started several.

So, why was there so much concern about providing a short-range missile defense system when Pres Trump was playing golf, yet Pres Trump was still allowed to fly around the US in Qatar 1, which seemed to have been grounded because of a lack of missile defense?

Am I missing something here?

Anyone?

2020:

Fact check: Trump has spent far more time at golf clubs than Obama had at same point

Obama played 98 rounds of golf through this point in his presidency, according to data provided to CNN by Mark Knoller, a veteran CBS News White House correspondent who is known for tracking presidential activities. By contrast, Knoller said, Trump has spent all or part of 248 days at a golf course.

CNN's own count has Trump at 266 days spending some time at a Trump golf course.
