Maybe he’s trying to get as many rounds of golf in as possible before his ~~term~~ prison time starts.

I want to believe

Im sure he’s going straight to prison after the great fascist defeat of 2024.

Im sure.

They're worried he plays golf too much? The bastard played for nearly a quarter of his time as president, and they didn't care then 🤷‍♂️

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought it was closer to half?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Well, he complained about Obama playing golf too much, and he played more golf in 4 years than Obama did in 8...

So the answer is "way too fucking much, even by his own standards."

Lol, this picture of Trump reminds me of a common good luck bringing Maneki-neko cat.

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago

I can see it.

It’s the little fat man dance he does where he looks like he’s jerking off two cocks.

Raise the golf club in defiance

Anyone checking on JD Vance's wife and family?

Usha Vance has been looking beaten down from the constant racist attacks from her own party. And I haven't heard anything about his kids after he shitted on them on the news for asking about Pokemon.

Hopefully they're living their best lives at home while he's out traveling the country being awkward at doughnut shops.

Sounds like Ol’ Sleepy Joe got to him. Get that fake handicap low enough Donnie, Joe’s comin’ for ya!

I guess everything’s a joke if it makes conservatives look like idiots, but it’s serious if it doesn’t. And that evaluation is usually done after the thing in question is said

MAGA - Make America Golf Again

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I think they understood that comment precisely as it was meant: Derogatory.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Why stop the habit of a lifetime.
