This, it’s dissing his hand size, something he is infamously insecure about. I missed that, yeah.

The meme is 100% trolling Trump on many levels. Whoever made it is a genius.

An FTC investigation? That’s hilarious.

Chief Investigator John Barron has concluded his investigation, and his report states that the phones are a great deal, the best he’s ever seen, and any rumors of a scam are RADICAL LEFT lies, and everyone should buy a Trump Phone now while they can. And they’ll be released in two weeks.

Something entirely trivial, but: at the White Hosue physical fitness event today, Trump takes the kids outside to show off his putting skills. He of course misses all his putts.

Actually, _not enough_ cameras. Looks like there was only one and everyone was standing in front of it. I couldn’t even tell where the hole was until Trump’s third putt. Why not put the camera where you can see the hole? Also it didn’t look to me like either of the guys in golf clothes sank one either.

Well, of course. Their attempts were after Da Capo missed his so they dare not sink one when he couldn’t.

Have there been any estimates on what his handicap is without any cheating?

His handicap is the increasingly obvious dementia.

No, but reliable sources say that his IQ used to be 88 before decline set in.

Nope

But he’s pushing 80. Even if he didn’t cheat, it wouldn’t be in the single digits regardless, much less the 3 (or thereabouts) he claims. He’s be lucky to have one in the 30s at his age and condition. In his younger days, I’d be shocked if it was ever legitimately under 20, though.

I think Gary Player still barely has a single digit handicap or close to it somehow at age 90, but not everybody can be a generationally great golfer.

Anyone else think Trump’s lackeys usually have to do something like this?
