White House caught further exaggerating Scaramuccis boast about Trumps PGA-like putting skills

Last week, incoming White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci held a press briefing in which he boasted of President Donald Trump’s athletic prowess in an effort to demonstrate the president’s competitiveness.

“I’ve seen this guy throw a dead spiral through a tire,” Scaramucci said. “I’ve seen him at Madison Square Garden with a top coat on, he’s standing in the key and he’s hitting foul shots and swishing them. He sinks three-foot putts.”

However, Daily Show writer Matt Negrin has noticed that the Trump White House has increased the president’s putting range in its official transcripts of Scaramucci’s remarks, which now declare that the president makes “30-foot putts.”

. . .

It’s entirely plausible that Scaramucci meant to say “30-foot putts” in his original remarks, as making a three-foot putt is not considered an impressive achievement in golfing. However, news reports of Scaramucci’s original press briefing all described the incoming administration official as saying “three-foot putts.”

that any putt within 30 feet is a "gimme". As per his rules and he just picks it up and says' " Put me down for a 3."

Yeah, he's that good. NOT

Still, his Master has yet to score 10 hole in ones as has Great Leader of NK.

Meet your fascists, America. Nice country you have there. Hate what IS happening to it.

While the co conspirators of he MSM stand aside, slack jawed and near useless.
