This is what the White House thinks the average American scraping by gives a shit about?

A filthy old rapist that stole the election and is destroying the constitution while privatizing the army (ice) at your tax dollars expense, who’s been caught cheating at golf just like everything in his life?

Are his bone spurs still an issue or has he matured out of that now that he can’t be conscripted into the army?

Maybe the White House will update the public on that as well.

What a joke America has become, and so quickly.

No. Much of what the current administration does is to feed Trump's ego. This isn't aimed at the public. It's aimed at Trump himself. Look at the way world leaders are dealing with Trump. In Ukraine, they've switched from "many civilians are dying because an expansionist power is invading a sovereign European nation" to "Putin is mocking you". They know Trump is much more likely to respond to attacks to his ego than appeals to his humanity.

CAUGHT cheating, NOT accused.

Watched his caddy drop the ball on camera.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

To be fair, he either ordered the cheating or allowed it to happen. That means you have to be nebulous in reporting so the orange turd doesn't sue.

There's no way I'm gonna make it through another 4 years of this.

Only 3.5! You can do it!

This is a distraction! They know we'll talk about the cheating. Who the fuck cares? Release the Epstein files!

I mean, he's not as good as Kim Jung Un. He made a hole in one the first time he played golf.

I just wish the two of them would golf into the sunset together and leave the rest of us the hell alone.

A well aimed cruise missile would be a hole in one.

[–] HenryDorsett@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You laugh, but I Happy Gilmore'd a ball 400 yours my first time at a driving range. Straight and true.

Never ever could replicate it.

[–] s@piefed.world 5 points 1 week ago

I’m sure all of the people unbothered by the concentration camps, the fascist upheaval of law, and the affiliation with a massive child trafficking ring, etc., will definitely change their minds about him after seeing that he cheats in golf

So American.
