In 2016 when Donald J. Trump was running for office one of his most frequent criticisms of Barack Obama, besides that whole place of birth thing, was the president played too much golf. In fact at one point El Donald told us when he was president he wouldn't have time to play a lot of golf because he'd be too busy.
When he hit the first tee Sunday, for the fifth time over the Thanksgiving holiday, it was his 81st round of golf since his inauguration. For those keeping count that would be a little over three times more than Obama took to the links in his first ten months in office.
But, let's face it, surreal discrepancies between promises, facts, and what is actual reality have never been a problem for Don Trump. As one observer noted, when it comes to the current resident of the White House there is no right, or wrong, there is only winning and losing.
Between chip shots and improving his ball's lie (winter rules after all) Mr. Trump found his way onto Twitter in order to continue his attack on those parts of American free press he disagrees with, or at least the ones he feels are critical of him.
On Saturday he posted, "@FOX News MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside the U.S. CNN International is still a major source of (FAKE) news and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them!"
Brother Trump didn't specify which truths the rest of the world weren't seeing. Perhaps he felt his side of the public feud he's been waging with that imminent threat to the nation's security, LaVar Ball has been lacking in coverage. Ball is the insufferable parent/non stop promoter of his basketball playing sons Lonzo, LaMelo, and LiAngelo. He drove Mr. Trump into a fury because he didn't appear grateful enough after the president bragged about getting LiAngelo out of a Chinese prison sentence for shop lifting. Yes, as we've seen time and time again, once the ego is pricked, no fight is too small, or petty for our man in the oval office.
On Sunday Mr. Trump tweeted, "Since the first day I took office all you hear is the phony democratic excuse for losing the election, Russia, Russia, Russia. Despite this I have the economy booming and have possibly done more than any 10 month President. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
The petulant tone of the message moved former Obama official, Preet Bharara to respond with his own tweet which read, "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! The President of the United States is Jan Brady."
Today's message from the White House was, "We should have a contest as to which of the networks plus CNN and not including FOX is the most dishonest, corrupt, and/or distorted in its political coverage of your favorite President (me). They are all bad. Winner to receive FAKE NEWS TROPHY!"
In addition to this craziness the New York Times reports that on at least two different occasions in the past few months The Big Orange Guy has said privately the infamous, "Access Hollywood," tape was faked. It's the episode where he clearly boasted to TV personality Billy Bush that being rich and famous allowed him to grab women by their, "pussies," with impunity. The evidence he said the words is so utterly irrefutable, then candidate Trump immediately admitted to the repugnant conversation, although he wrote it off as simply, "locker room talk."
Of course, that was then and this has suddenly become a post Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly, Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Charlie Rose, Al Franken, John Conyers, world. You have to adjust, bob and weave, never stop doing the DJT shuffle. Indeed, take a lesson from ol' Roy Moore down in Alabama. Deny everything, no matter how many witnesses there might be, or how credible they are.
Yeah, that's the ticket. Run around like a Banshee on fire while screaming the media is Satan himself, attempting to destroy those doing God's work. Then--trust The Almighty Base to believe every thing you say, no matter how bat shit crazy and obviously wrong it is.
The problem is they will. In fact they already have. Think not? Just wait until Moore gets elected in a couple of weeks and Trump goes on Twitter and celebrates the victory as another win for him.
My God, I thought Nixon was evil and crazy. That fucker was nothing, but a cheap amateur compared to this sociopathic monster.
