Dublin, the Irish capital where Vice President Mike Pence has multiple meetings scheduled this week, sits on the east coast of the island nation. Per the request of the president, Pence is residing in Doonberg every night, on the opposite coast of the country. Unsurprisingly, Trump directed Pence to commute hundreds of miles a day so he could stay at his only Irish golf course, Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Ireland.

Naturally, the whole debacle has become yet another entry into the entirely unforced news cycle driven purely by the president’s own ego.
