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.”
JD Vance says people took his childless cat lady comment ‘the wrong way’
Republican vice presidential contender JD Vance was back in the hot seat Sunday over comments he made while running for the US Senate in 2021 about Americans — particularly women — without children.
The Ohio senator spoke to NBC’s Kristen Welker just a few days after his running mate spoke to her colleagues at the network during a trip to the southern border. In his interview, he was asked once again whether he “regrets” making a dig at “childless cat ladies” — something he said he did not regret doing. Instead, he said he regretted that Democrats were supposedly “lying” about the context of his remarks.
He also fired back at the idea that some women voters may take his words as a “gut punch” and would wonder if he’d really represent both men and women.

Watch out JD Vance, these are the cities with the most childless cat ladies
Republican 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.
