By several accounts, Donald Trump spends more time playing golf than he spends playing president. And
considering he’s absolutely goddamned awful at doing the latter, it’s natural to assume the mad king's
real finesse is found out on the links.
WRONG.
In typically artless fashion, the man even pursues his passions like a narcissistic, troll-fisted buffoon. Exhibit #456,756: this new video clip showing Trump roll his golfcart right over a delicate green at his Bedminster, New Jersey course after playing his turn, the golf equivalent of licking a popsicle right before it’s handed over to a friend.
Even the guys who appear to have shot the clip, Trump-friendly enough to want to address the hobgoblin in the flesh, seem to be shaking their heads in disbelief as he careens towards them.
With all the subtlety you could expect, you can read Trump’s arrogance plainly through beady little eyes under his Make America Great Again hat. “This is my golf course and I get to be president, so I’ll ruin it for everyone else if, rather because, I feel like it.”
It’s tempting to fear there’s some kind of metaphor here, with our world and maybe its environment or sense of human decency standing in for the green he’s just knowingly trampled. But it’s really a simple case of your typical, amorphous, waste of wealth in need of a good walk just being a total lazy jerk.
