      I literally saw one of the caddies drop a ball where Trump was going to stroke it. They weren’t subtle. They might as well just have someone near the hole to drop one in the moment Trump makes his first stroke to say he has a hole in one despite all evidence to the contrary

        Every time diaper donnie talks about golf, I think of this story. It was relevant in his first failed term, now that he’s gone completely unchained in his second failed term, especially when we see his cabinet “meetings” and the way he holds pressers in front of a compliant media, all the more so…

        But in the 1990s - another moment in time when an event in North Korea varies (some say it happened in 1991 and others in 1994), the late dictator, then 50 (or 53) years old, set a golfing standard that will assuredly never be surpassed. It occurred at the grand opening of the Pyongyang Golf Complex, which contains North Korea’s only 18-hole golf course.

        After picking up a golf club that day for the very first time in his life, the Dear Leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea fired a 38-under-par round of 34 at Pyongyang. According to the 17 security guards who observed the performance, the score included an amazing 11 aces. Naturally, the event was dutifully reported to the North Korean masses by the state news agency.

          Sometimes I hate writing on my phone, but I make countless typos that change the meaning of my posts. At least I can correct them.

          But to answer your question: Even a reptile egg is too dignified to do what Trump wants it to do.
