Twitter User, Christopher Ingraham happened upon a painful revelation that's filled to the brim with hypocrisy. Yes, Ingraham learned that the website of Donald Trump WAS programmed to share a snarky message about Obama not working (to fix the problem) and playing golf all the time, whenever an error turned up while navigating it. 


Thing is, the message was going out while Trump himself is doing that very damn thing, since Christmas. The following Twitter thread hints that Trump's team likely called an audible on that message, after considering the level of hypocrisy at play in the message. Or, who knows. We'll let you be the judge on this one.

    Text - Christopher Ingraham _cingraham Follow The website of Donald Trump, who has spent several days in a row at the golf course, is coded to serve up the following message in the event of an internal server error: ction.donaldjtrump.com/inaugural-year else if (errorCode = '500') { var errorMessage = 'Oops! Something went wrong. Unlike Obama, we are working to fix the problem... and not on the golf course. else 496 497 498

    Text - Christopher Ingraham _cingraham Follow It's also all over gop.com. As others have noted in this thread, this is weird code and it's not clear it would ever actually display, but who knows.

    Text - Christopher Ingraham cingraham Follow UPDATE: The golf error message has been removed from the Trump and GOP websites. They also fixed the javascript "="vs "="problem. Still not clear when these messages would actually display, since the actual 404 (and presumably 500) page displays a different message

    Text - Christopher Ingraham cingraham Follow That suggests someone at either RNC or the Trump admin is sensitive enough to Trump's golf problem to make this issue go away quickly once people noticed. You have no idea how much l'd love to see the email exchange that led us here.
