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.”

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.

then at gun point in an entire year. I would guess the same statement could be made for golf courses.

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.

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.

However, don’t forget that Trump has publicly commented on and mocked other people’s appearances all his life, especially women. He has told beauty pageant contestants they are too fat, has fat shamed Rosie O’Donnell, has said he’s innocent of sexual assault charges against E. Jean Carroll because she’s too ugly to rape, insulted the physical appearance of Ted Cruz’s wife during his first presidential campaign, etc. He even mocked President Biden’s masked face during the recent campaign.

So if you adhere to the concept of “when they go low, we go high”, you’re correct, Trump’s physical appearance shouldn’t be discussed. But oh, it’s such fun to critique his looks on this forum, and he looks like an ugly, sagging Pillsbury doughboy.

He’s “Shallow Donnie” instead of “Shallow Hal”.

Ooh, and there’s just so much body surface area to critique, he has expanded the last few years (not that he was that attractive in his prime). He’s always been a bulbous-headed, greasy, soft doughboy.

...like he treats others. It's important to me that we do just the opposite. I'm super happy Joe will never be like him. I feel I learned something from Joe. It's really hard sometimes, especially with the Trumpers, but I'm trying my best to follow his leadership.

...high road myself. It's the best way to go if you don't want to follow their nasty habits. It's way too easy to turn down the wrong road by their silly distractions.

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

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

The cool one. On the left. That blubber butt on the right disgraces everything he touches. That means you, Golf!
