He literally compared a cop losing his composure and shooting a suspect in the back seven times to a golfer choking on a putt.

(5,376 posts)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.

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.
