  • Trump governs like he plays golf.

    Source: http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/10/politics/trump-golf-being-moody/index.html



    (CNN)You can learn a lot about a man by how he plays golf. It's a sport that requires self-discipline, control and personal honesty. And it just happens to be one of President Donald Trump's favorite pastimes. . .

    Trump moves fast, and details aren't important

    "Most people give you a putt within the leather. That means the length of the leather grip on your putter. He takes putts within (the length of a) driver, like those long drivers." Reilly said. "He just rakes everything, everything's good and it's all happening quickly and you're like 'that can't have been good' but he's gone, and he's in his golf cart by himself."

    He's in charge

    "He drives across greens. He drives and parks on tees," Reilly said. "When you drive on a putting green, it's like parking on the steps of a church. It's like bringing your own ham to a great restaurant. It's just not done, it's the worst thing you can do. ...When you ask him why, he says, 'Hey, it's my course.' And that's the worst part. It's like he thinks he owns golf."

    Trump doesn't care much for traditions

    "This guy cheats from start to finish," Reilly said. "It was just one free mulligan after another."

    So why do people put up with it? Because Trump's entertaining. It's fun.

    "He's a gracious host. He buys everything. Everything's free, so when he drives across the green ... you're just like, it's a day with Trump," Reilly said. "Playing with Trump is fun, kind of in the way going to the circus is fun."

    He keeps his own score with no regards to the actual number of plays per hole. He takes more mulligans than his actual score.

    Wow, acting like he owns the place. Shameful, absolutely shameful.
    I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

        I didn't get any further than seeing the initials "CNN".

            I agree. It has been a media circus and a circus in congress. Trump doesn't quite fit the mold of the recent presidents but he has been attacked with more ill will than any recent president.

                That is quite true, although some of those attacks could be stopped if he would shutdown that danged twitter account........

                  While he is often his own worse enemy I seriously doubt that if he stopped using Twitter that the frequency of attacks would lessen at all. Too many of his opponents have demonstrated that when Trump isn't providing ammo to be used against him that they have no qualms simply concocting something to attack him for.

                  I'm always still in trouble again

                    Anyone remover the days where the MSM reported the news vs reporting lame psychoanalysis? Golf is a game and many play games to win and make decisions they would never make in a real life situation. If you follow that logic I must be pretty messed up since I have no problems with taking out everything in a RTS game. It's lame articles, such as this, that tells me how many hacks work for the MSM.

                      I'm surprised you didn't claim he governs like he stole it.
                      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                            Ha. CNN is getting desperate when they have to resort to impugning Trump on how he plays golf.

                            Next on CNN: Trump steals candy from a baby!

                              Your neglecting the factual content of the news with witnesses and even filmed.
