It's wild that police themselves are such Trump bootlickers that they're not insulted by this greenjar_01 Aug 2020 #4

I doubt that cop choked. I assume he (the cop) did what he did because he thought there was a good chance he would get away with doing what he did.

The cop didn't choke by shooting him. He choked because he didn't kill him. That is what Trump is saying. He is comparing shooting an unarmed man with his back to the cop to a three-foot putt, i.e. he shouldn't have missed.

I mean, only sort of, and in an insulting/trivializing manner.....

But does he think he's threading some needle here, like between cops/racists/right-wing-authoritarians and everyone who is mad about this shooting there's this little window for his orange ass to wiggle through and if only he utters the right sports metaphor he can pacify both groups?

What a jackass, for innumerable reasons.

Ingraham can see how the coverage is going to play out and tries to reel him in. She attempted to put the words in his mouth that he did not compare the shooting to golf. He blathered on anyway.
