They keep playing that clip of his caddy dropping a ball, and making fun of how he tried to do it slyly but it was obvious.

I just saw it again on Colbert, and I legitimately think the caddy is only trying to fool trump.

trump is 100% the guy to blame caddies if he fucks up, so the only caddies he likes are ones that can trick him into thinking he’s great. No one he’s playing with would ever call it out.

The only person they need to fool out there, is trump…

He legitimately might think he’s really a generational golfer. For the same reason every billionaire legit thinks they’re a genius.

    This is literally the motto of our entire existence “lately.”

    “The only way to get ahead is to be a massive piece of shit. It’s stupid to not be a piece of shit. There are no consequences when you succeed.”

      Relax guy, that’s completely normal.

      Every empire goes thru the same thing right before collapse. Rules don’t matter unless caught, and even if you followed the rules you might be “caught”.

      So the norm for acceptable behavior becomes “anything that didn’t have immediate consequences”.

          That’s kind of the joke…

          Everyone is acting like it’s normal that we’re running down the same checklist as the USSR did, it ain’t slow, it started before trump ever thought of running for president

          Quick edit:

          I know “the /s is always needed”, but I’ve never once heard “relax guy” used non sarcastically so thought it would be cool

            Ahhh sorry, I was a little dense. If I see relax guy it’s usually used condescendingly so it kinda put me on edge and the rest didn’t register as actual sarcasm. As they say, telling someone to relax often has the opposite effect lol
