“At Winged Foot, where Trump is a member, the caddies got so used to seeing him kick his ball back onto the fairway they came up with a nickname for him: Pele,”

    I’ve no idea why the title says “appears to” and “allegedly”.

    If you have eyes with basic or above vision, and a functioning brain with more than below average intelligence you’ll see that there’s no appearing to or allegedly about it, it’s fucking obvious. Fuck sake.

    Also he’s on the Epstein list. He’s a convicted criminal. He’s a rapist of women. And he raped children.

    Trump has always been a cheater.

    But sportswriter Rick Reilly, who once golfed with Trump, believes the president cheats on the green. He previously told MSNBC, “He cheats like a mafia accountant,” and declared Trump’s wins to be “fake as Velveeta cheese.”

    “He’s never won a championship at a course he doesn’t own and operate,” Reilly alleged. “He’s played in Pebble Beach, he’s played in the Tahoe one, where there are rules and judges and cameras. And in those, he’s never finished in the top half. So he wins when anybody who disagrees that he won is out of the club. That’s how he gets it.”

    Now about those Epstein files…?

    You’ve probably heard of it, but do yourself a favour and read Rick Reilly’s Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump – (Hachette Books, 2019)

    I know little and care less about golf but this book was gripping! Reilly is a great writer and, despite my having read several other books on Trump (Mary Trump, Michael Wolff, etc), I really think Reilly’s explains Trumps method of operation better than every other attempt.

    It’s absolutely shocking what he does in his day to day life. The anecdotes are piled high, the double dealing and fabrications are outrageous. Every single page contains some revelation even more odious than the previous.

    A morbid fascination and dogged curiosity regarding the depths of Trump’s moral abyss will keep you tutting and eye-rolling to the end.

    (Sounds like a sales pitch, I know. But I casually picked it up in a thrift shop for €1. No regrets!)

    Every rich asshole has lived their entire lives on cheat codes. Just look at Musk cheating on Path of Exile. It didn’t even phase him being called out on it, because they do it with every aspect of their lives.

      This stuff is getting so comical.

      “Trump farted on a photo of Kamala”

      “Trump is going to ban the use of the word digit”

      “Trump is going to sue the producers of south park, bluey, and coldplay”

      “Trump totally did not rape a 13 year old because she looked like his daughter”

      “Trump has banned transgender people from using any toilet of any kind”

      for those who dont want to go to the cesspit that is “X”: trumps driving a cart and a man in a red vest is walking in front of the cart towards a bunker. red vest nonchalantly drops a ball for trump to play thats not in a bunker

      this means that not only does trump cheat at golf, he uses other people to help him cheat at golf. this seems rather more ridiculous than cheating by yourself

    Not sure how golf works. Don’t you play by yourself? He cheats himself? If it’s about braging; can’t he just say he did a hole in one, every stroke?
