> [@smithsb](#): > > And in gof news - The US PGA has withdrawn the 2022 PGA from DumpsterFire’s course in New Jersey. [2022 PGA Championship leaving Trump National - ESPN](https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/30689392/2022-pga-championship-leaving-trump-national) The hilarious thing about that is the Trump organization complaining about the “breach of a binding contract.” I imagine the contract does have something in it about termination in the case of actions detrimental to the reputation of the PGA. ---

Twitter, now golf… we’re definitely going to be coming back to the Trump suicide thread as all of this sinks in. ---

Belachick sounds like a decent sort of guy: > **[Bill Belichick declines Presidential Medal of Freedom offer from Trump | CNN...](https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/11/politics/bill-belichick-presidential-medal-of-freedom-spt-trnd/index.html)** > > New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has announced that he is declining the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which he was scheduled to receive from President Donald Trump. ---

OMG, I’m dying here, just thinking of Trump getting this news and not having any Twitter. I saw the post and reflexively pulled up Twitter then I remembered and now I’m laughing. I don’t know where to start, it’s just delicious. I wonder if he’ll trash the Lincoln bedroom like a raging bull. I was going to speculate that he might actually set it on fire but he’s a non-smoker and may not be able to get a lighter. Certainly no one will give him one. I really want to find out the inside story of the past week, it’s going to shred and bury whatever is left of that man’s reputation. I bet he’s desperately trying to get the seditionists pardoned. ---

I’ve been disgusted by Belichick and Robert Kraft being buddies with tRump for the last few years, but I’m going to take Belichick’s action here at face value and salute the guy. This seems like another of those small gestures that will truly get to Donnie’s ego. He’s getting cut out of the winner’s club. If his Twitter account was active, you can bet he’d be lashing out: “Not a REAL American Patriot! And his football team lost BIG!” ---

Trump’s banks are cutting ties with him, with one encouraging resignation. [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-12/trump-s-long-favored-banks-pull-back-amid-fallout-from-d-c-riot?srnd=premium). (There’s a tight article limit there, but it should be readsble.) > Two of Donald Trump’s favored banks are pulling away from the billionaire president in the wake of last week’s deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol. [Deutsche Bank AG](https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/DBK:GR) has decided to refrain from further business with Trump and his company, said a person with knowledge of the matter, asking not to be identified because the deliberations were confidential. Trump owes the Frankfurt-based lender more than $300 million. And [Signature Bank](https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/SBNY:US), the New York lender that’s long catered to his family, said it’s cutting ties while it presses for his resignation. Signature is closing two personal accounts in which Trump held about $5.3 million, a spokesperson for the firm said on Monday. ---
