(7,947 posts)Biden is actually a very good golfer, but doesn't brag about it.
In fact, he said with droll self-deprecation:
Speaking to reporters after his round, Biden said, smiling, the course record is still intact.

(19,201 posts)than in all the boardrooms in the U.S. You can find out a lot about a person on a golf course. Trump was a cheating liar on the golf course, and it showed in everything else he did in life. Obama was a gentleman and played by the rules, and it showed in everything he did in his life as well. Golf is a wonderful barometer of a person's character. That was always my experience anyway.

(7,700 posts)I know lots of good Dems who are not in their best shape. Pointing out Trump's body is immature and embarrassing.
Let's focus on his crimes instead. It's far more important and necessary.

(2,166 posts)The focus needs to be on getting him and his ilk sent to jail. I do not care what they look like
JoeOtterbein
(7,700 posts)...keep him out of jail too!

(5,801 posts)and there's plenty more to compare where Joe also beats red don like a tin drum, e.g. Joe doesn't cheat, hasn't played ad nauseam, and doesn't bilk taxpayers for golf trips.

He has told beauty pageant contestants they are too fat, has fat shamed Rosie ODonnell, has said hes innocent of sexual assault charges against E. Jean Carroll because shes too ugly to rape, insulted the physical appearance of Ted Cruzs wife during his first presidential campaign, etc. He even mocked President Bidens masked face during the recent campaign.
So if you adhere to the concept of when they go low, we go high, youre correct, Trumps physical appearance shouldnt be discussed. But oh, its such fun to critique his looks on this forum, and he looks like an ugly, sagging Pillsbury doughboy.

(2,268 posts)Hes Shallow Donnie instead of Shallow Hal.
Ooh, and theres just so much body surface area to critique, he has expanded the last few years (not that he was that attractive in his prime). Hes always been a bulbous-headed, greasy, soft doughboy.

We have too much real work to do, to save the earth. Literally. We don't have time to waste.

(8,090 posts)Obese people like Trump can dress well and be "smooth" in appearance. Trump's just a slob, regardless of age or weight.
