Trump experiences life through the windshield of a golf cart. That explains a lot.

By Catherine Rampell Opinion writer May 29 at 8:48 PM

Last week, at the Group of Seven meetings, the leaders of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan together walked the streets of Taormina, Italy, to a photo op about 700 yards away. President Trump, the healthiest man ever elected president (or so his doctor assured us), followed in a golf cart.

Maybe this decision was not about being out of shape, or conserving his finite lifetime supply of energy, or snubbing his international counterparts. Maybe he was just homesick for his natural habitat: a golf course.

Trump clearly prefers to experience life through the windshield of a golf cart. Once you understand that, his policy agenda and worldview make a lot more sense.

Take, for example, Trump’s hostility to our NATO allies, which has puzzled pundits.

In a meeting with the Belgian prime minister on the same foreign trip, Trump reportedly offered an explanation. He holds negative views of Europe because it took so long to get his golf courses approved there.

“Every time we talk about a country, he remembered the things he had done. Scotland? He said he had opened a club. Ireland? He said it took him two and a half years to get a license and that did not give him a very good image of the European Union,” a source told the Belgian newspaper Le Soir.

looks like a senior scooter to me. He is hiding a health issue if he can't walk 700 yards.

but disconcerting in an adult. He has a "poverty of thought".
