Just so you know, Arnold Palmer did not like Trump. He hated golf cheats. "If a guy is going to cheat you on the golf course," he told me once, "he's going to cheat you in business." He'd seen Trump cheat like a six-year-old playing Monopoly and wanted nothing to do w him.

Will Smith isn't tough. Chris Rock is tough. He gets sucker slapped by a brooding egoist and then never even TOUCHES his face. Doesn't leave, doesn't lose it, doesn't hold a presser, simply carries on flawlessly, for the sake of the next winner. Amazing.

To my Trump friends:.He's lying to you. Violent crime is down, not up. Inflation is down, not up. Economic growth is up last 2 qtrs. Stock market is way, way up. Immigrants aren't evil. They take the jobs we don't want, buy products + fuel the economy. Don't believe a liar.

You want weird? When playing golf, Trump parks on tees, gives himself 5 footers + kicks opponents' balls into bunkers. His caddies tee him up in the rough. He shoots 85 but writes down 73, which makes him the tourney winner. His brain can't process loss. That's f-ing weird.

FYI, Trump used to display his golf game in public. He'd play in NBC's Tahoe celeb tourney + all 3 times he proved himself to be wildly . average. In a field of 80, he finished 42nd, 55th + 62nd (+ that's getting strokes). But now, at 78, he's suddenly crushing the young guys.
Trump says that the reason he has won so many Club Championships in his own golf tournaments against younger and better players is because he can handle pressure and they can’t.
