Please, I Beg You, Mr. President, Do Not Stop Talking About the Golf Course

In an election year, a voter is desperate for answers from the president. They want to know about the condition of the helipad, the development of East Potomac Park into a golf course, and the progress of other projects. They are not interested in discussing affordability. The voter is concerned about the safety of trees in the park and the tainted lettuce at a restaurant.

They demand to know the president's performance with Vladimir Putin. The voter hopes this will boost America's status as a world power. They express frustration about the president's priorities, pointing to a replica of the golf course plans, which have been gathering dust. The voter emphasizes that this is a crucial kitchen-table issue, not just a matter of cost of living.

They plead for the president to prioritize the development of East Potomac Park and the overall improvement of the capital's architecture and facilities.
