So many can’t put food on the table..children going hungry and he has the gall to show his fat ass. This situation never had to be this dire. Golf now, Bigly..the New York AG will be calling. As will others.

Does Trump golf left-handed? In general, a golfer wears a glove on the hand of their leading arm. Right handers wear the glove on their left hand and vice versa.

In these photos, Trump has the glove on his right hand. In the middle photo his right foot is forward meaning he addressed the ball from the right side. That's lefty golf.

Is that really Trump or is it his doppelgänger? (wink)

Seriously, Trump's a righty so are these pictures reversed from cellphone cameras?

One other thing: As I responded to malaise above, he's repulsive.

the logo on his shirt is really on the left side, and you can make out that there's a 4-letter word on his Chinese red cap, which would be where the 'MAKE' would be if the photo was not mirrored.

I couldn't zoom in enough to make out the logos but thanks for seeing that detail, SeattleVet!

at this point is a day where he's not writing XOs, hiring embedded fake civil servants, or befouling the White House with his presence. It used to bother me that he spent so much time golfing at his resort, now it just keeps him out of the way.

King Lear stepped down voluntarily after ruling successfully for many years. His mistake was not listening to his one daughter willing to tell him the truth, but instead to his two daughters willing to suck up to him while he had power, but then turned on him after he gave it up.

A better analogy might be to MacBeth. Delusional hallucinating murderous despot who turns everyone against him, desperately trying to hold onto power long after the jig is up.
