Trump Compares Police Shooting to Missing a Putt
September 1, 2020 at 6:50 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

President Trump told Fox News that the police officer who shot Jacob Blake in the back seven times last month was just having a bad day, like a golfer who misses a simple putt.

Said Trump: “Shooting the guy in the back many times, I mean, couldn’t you have done something different? Couldn’t you have wrestled him? But they choke. Just like in a golf tournament. They miss a three-foot putt.”

1. I heard him say this with my own ears. Not the Borowitz report

Amber says, Whaat?

2. This is a generous analogy in Trump's mind

...because he cares so much more about the putt.

3. Again, Trump is 100% wrong.

Notice how the FOX News interviewer tries to stop him from saying it.

6. golf

You know, I fell in love with golf when I met my biological father, a WV PGA pro, when I was in my early 30s, at the end of the last century. Prior, I mocked golf and made fun of it. Who knew I'd inherited a perfect swing? (my adoptive mom always though my natural athleticism was something I'd outgrow...)

Orangeanus McWeehands is making golf look bad for the rest of us who play at public munis....

Golf's not the problem, he is.
