As for why the caddie is clinging to the back -- possible Trump's too fat for both of them to fit on the seat.

1. Trump's caddie was keeping the cart from tipping over.

2. A clear violation of rules of safety. Caddie could have been seriously injured.

He should have insisted on a second cart.

Republicans do not care about their fellow man.

3. OK, explain why anyone would want to be Fatboy's caddy? Eisenhower, Obama...

JFK and the rest of them i understand.

But Trump? Mulligan Man?

[Hekate]

15. It's a job, and if he's a young person, there are some crappy jobs along the way

4. And this is among the zillion reasons I do not like golf...

Golf carts are bad enough, but I recognize the necessity for crowded courses and the less physically able. But caddies? That whole concept of having someone follow around, carrying the bag, and essentially bowing and scraping to serve the golfer (unless on the professional tour) strikes me as sickening.

I think someone wrote a book that exemplifies how I feel about the whole thing: 'Golf--a Good Walk Spoiled.'

YMMV. (of course)

13. Umm...caddies are for the rich only.

I’ve been playing a lot of golf in the last 4 years and I have yet to see one caddy, or even the offer of a caddy service, at any of the places I’ve played. Maybe 30-40 years ago a young golfer could make some summer money working as a caddy, but those days are long gone.

5. Maybe Trump decided to socially distrace

6. Fore Caddies do that all the time.

I've had caddies (required of me and provided by clubs I've played at) and every one of them to a man or woman rode the cart like that.

Don't get me wrong, I see the point and hate trump even more - if possible - than 2 mins ago, but this is a thing.

[DemInBuckhead]

16. Wow, that's new to me. I was a caddy growing up.

When we forecaddied, we were trained that once we got the pin back in the hole, we'd run our asses off to the next fairway before the group would play the tee shots on the next hole so we were right where the balls landed and could find the balls that missed the fairway. And then we'd run up toward the green and do the same thing for the approach shots. I never rode a cart like that. (Occasionally, one of the members would give me a lift and let me sit in the seat.)

7. I thought he golfed first exercise?

Couldn’t walk even that short of a distance?

[Ritabert]

12. He drives the cart onto the green

So he's not getting any exercise out of this.

[bottomofthehill]

17. My thought too

Looks like the cart and the Caddie are the ones getting the work out.

[captain queeg]

8. And trump has a souped up cart that goes faster than everyone else

So he can be the first to the ball and cheat. I guess all the caddies know what a cheater he is but he’s a generous tipper so they all go along with it. The SS had to get some faster carts themselves to keep up with him. Him saying gold is his exercise is a joke he rides right up to his ball even on the green.

20. "gold is his exercise" is an amazingly proper typo!

9. Tried to get into golfing.

Figured walking with a bag in tow would be good exercise. Went to some small courses, just to get into the game a little before I tackled the large course....let me tell you, I have one hell of a slice.

So my first time on a large course....thinking this game is about relaxing, getting some exercise, etc. Damn, how can there be so many old angry white guys?! They all want to rush through the course. The ones in carts were the worst, moving as fast as they could to get to their ball.

On the 18th hole, the last one, getting ready to putt, when I hear a golf ball drop behind me....assholes behind us were too impatient to wait. At that point, I was pissed. Hit my putt, came close...probably would have went in if I wasn't distracted. But then said fuck it. Picked up my ball and as they were racing toward us in their carts, gave them the bird and walked away.

Never went back to the game. Come on, why are you golfing if you are in such a rush....find a different hobby.

14. i played exactly 1 round of golf as a teen with my dad as coach

he wanted me to learn, i shot 100 over par 😃
2 highlights i recall: on 1 tee shot whack, he and i looked forward, stared for several seconds, and after several seconds more as we looked at each other
plonk, ball landed about a foot before me 😳
and when he was trying to teach me to chip onto the green, he said
"put the ball right here" where he was standing .. "oof " he said when i nailed him in the stomach 😑
never played again, he decided for some odd reason to teach me to hunt,
at which i was fairly successful..
gave that up years ago

10. WooHee...look at all that exercise he's getting!

[Tipperary]

11. Caddie looks pretty hefty too lol.

Seems to be a great game for those not concerned with their weight.

[Stinky The Clown]

18. I'm betting the caddy is made to ride back there to socially distance from Himself.

[lame54]

19. Maybe it was his choice

[smirkymonkey]

21. Look at that fat fuck, speeding around on his golf cart because he is too damn lazy to walk the

course. And he calls this "exercise".

He can't wait to be the first one to the next hole so he can cheat before anyone else catches up with him. What a repulsive excuse of a human being.

23. Commander Putt Force One

An adult man-child driving a toy car with a minimum-wage employee clinging to the back -- I've never seen anything so impressive, so presidential...
