Trump. He just can't help himself


On moving the PGA to Mexico City.

Wonder how long it will take him to blame this on the media.

"I just heard that the PGA Tour is taking their tournament out of Miami and moving it to Mexico, as an example," Trump said. "They're moving it to Mexico City which, by the way, I hope they have kidnapping insurance. But they're moving it to Mexico City."

consequences. This is not some breaking news. The PGA has been considering this since he made his hateful, bigoted remarks about Mexicans and Muslims. The WGC-Cadillac Championship is played on Trump National Doral. Trumps recent remarks about the judge just may push the championship to say Adios Triunfo.

"We continue to stand by our earlier statement, and the statement of other golf organizations, that Mr. Trump's comments are inconsistent with our strong commitment to an inclusive and welcoming environment in the game of golf. The PGA Tour has had a 53-year commitment to the Doral community, the greater Miami area and the charities that have benefited from the tournament. Given this commitment, we are moving forward with holding the 2016 event at the Blue Monster. Immediately after the completion of the 2016 tournament, we will explore all options regarding the event's future."

This shit just falls out of his mouth. He has no filter, no awareness of anything that's happened in the last 75 years. Within his first week in office, global markets would crash, countries which had formerly been trusted allies would be re-working their agreements with us, neutrals would become hostiles, and hostiles would have a field day in recruiting. Reckless.
