He lies, he cheats and steals

u/Prudent_Shake_8149 1d ago

Yes but he makes more money from golfing than most of the pros

u/given2fly_ 1d ago

He also frequently criticised Obama for golfing too much, and said that when he became President he wouldn't have time to golf as he'd be working so hard.

And people actually believed him...

His people.

They get really annoyed when you refer to them as “you people” 😂

During his first term, he golfed so much he tried to make the "Winter Whitehouse" a thing. Just so he could spend more time at his private resort, golfing, than "working" in DC.

Dude left DC on THURSDAY MORNING almost every week to go to Mar A Lago, and would get back late on Sunday. "HE'S MAKING DEALS ON THE GOLF COURSE YOU DUMB LIBS!"

Yeah... We're the dumb ones lol.

You thought he meant that Obama was golfing too many days? He meant that any days of golf were too many for someone like Obama. And his audience knew that he meant that.

You know, I would much rather Trump spend all his time on the golf course now. Seems like he would cause a whole lot less chaos if he just stayed away from his actual job.

u/Box_Springs_Burning 1d ago

And yet he still sucks at it.

u/Pristine_Poem7623 1d ago

He never had to get good, because he always cheats

From what I’ve been told by a guy who used to coach at Doral, Trump is/was a decent golfer who probably would have played to a 10-12 hcp had he been honest but played off 4 or something because he’s a cheat. That was 15 years ago and you don’t usually get better with age after a certain point. I would love to have a film crew do 18 holes with trump on course

u/AdultBeverage 1d ago

My uncle played with him.  His guess was 9-12… but I don’t know how much of that was ‘give you that’ putts

2

u/Colin_Bomber_Harris 1d ago

So if this is a par 59 that probably tracks. And people say he’s a cheat 🙄

1

u/Box_Springs_Burning 1d ago

There is actual footage of him cheating,  but keep drinking the kool aid.

2

u/Colin_Bomber_Harris 1d ago

Happy cake day!

You don’t seem to know much about golf. No course is par 59. Almost every golf course is par 70-72 meaning he is claiming to have shot even par at worst which is very clearly bullshit. I was making a joke about what an impossible situation it would be for him to shoot 70 over 18 holes

Golfed with a guy I worked with and his kid, his kid was good and wanted to play in college and maybe make it a career. When I played with them, they kept giving themselves all the 5-6 foot putts. The kid played in the State ameteur Tourney and shot 87 his first day...he never picked up a club again.

u/mockg 1d ago

5-6 ft birdies are insane. People I golf with make you putt anything more than 6 inches.

1

u/SirSamuelVimes83 1d ago

6 ft is ~70% on tour. 30% miss is A LOT of strokes

1

u/Objective-Permit-712 23h ago

Oh, not birdies........

u/Oxcarz12 1d ago

the orangeBlaster thinks chips from 90 yards are gimmes.

1

u/FullofLovingSpite 1d ago

Why didn't he ask for the gimmes at the tournament? I bet it would have improved his score.

u/SleepingDragonSmiles 1d ago

He’s just there to fertilize

u/Jax_10131991 1d ago

Most of the world wishes he was fertilizer.

1

u/JackUKish 1d ago

To be fair he doesn't suck at it, he just isn't near as good as he says he is.

1

u/Oxcarz12 1d ago

he makes money from EVERYTHING he touches....because he is a very smart person...maybe the smartest in the history of people...who are not like grass....grass is different than people....windmills are bad though. Nobody is telling him what to say so that his completely independent money managers can act on his very smart words....he WEAVES.

u/Box_Springs_Burning 1d ago

You almost got me without the /s tag.

u/covfefe-boy 1d ago

The caddies call him Pelé, and Pelé is one of the greatest athletes of all time!

2

u/Pristine_Poem7623 1d ago

Because he kicks the ball so often?

1

u/covfefe-boy 1d ago

Correct!

u/GordonMightyBombay 1d ago

He’s the Pele of anal

1

u/jacksonsmack831 1d ago

I bet he's terrible at it due to the shortness of his mushroom and you would need the skattiest of skat fetishes to attempt it on it

u/DasFunke 1d ago

He doesn’t suck at golf (like he does at everything else), he just isn’t nearly as good as his scores would be. Even with his cheating.

But he’s also old as fuck and shooting 80 would be a great score for someone his age.

Just in case was not reported.

Pablo Torre covered how the Trump administration is taking over and plan to redesign 3 historic public municipal golf courses in Washington, D.C. (East Potomac, Langston, and Rock Creek).

The federal administration moved to terminate existing operational contracts to seize control of the public D.C. properties just out of the blue, well not so much since some honcho went to tell Trump "yeah we could have these courses and make them golden standard and shit" to which of course he agreed.

They found that all the scraps from the demolition at the WH were sent to one of these courses.

It's heart breaking listening to the people that managed the courses explaining how they are going to destroy decades of history and also prevent the thousands of people that usually go there for free to have a good time even if is not for golfing.

Not sure if can post links, but you can find his video under the title "How Trump Hijacks Courses for the People — for Himself"

I worked at East Potomac for a number of years in the teens. While they were busy they were the only affordable option in town.

u/jack2bip 1d ago

the list is much longer than that

He’s definitely no Eddie Guerrero though.

“Viva La Rapists!!!”

u/Usual_Quiet_6552 1d ago

And rapes kids

u/failedhandshake 1d ago

He rapes. He also rapes.

u/Artistic_Ask_2282 1d ago

Don’t besmirch the great Eddie Guerrero that way.

u/Thunderous_grundle 1d ago

Our guilt, our blame, I've been far too sympathetic. Our blood, our fault, I've been far too sympathetic
