Hey Dirt... you missed an opportunity???
The Donald did it with excessive illegal Sand Traps on his Golf Courses! That's why he invited The Vlade into Syria!!!

Were the Chinese just stockpiling manufacturing sand in the South China Sea or were they building Islands? Inquiring Minds want to know, CNN and ABC are trying to tell the President his answer...

I think the Sand Shortage is an abrasive subject that should be covered by both the Times and the Post... the shared headline of the Lead Stories could be "POTUS, Russians and Chinese cause global Sand Shortages... Read all About it in the Sand Papers!" Or "Saudi Arabia to increase Sand production to stabilize global markets!" Or "Global Warmling blamed for the Cover Up of the Sand... The SP to add to his growing list of POTUS _uck-Ups.. needs more Liberal Lawyers!"
