Trump Golf
There are many tales of Trump bending the rules on the golf course. Last year, former Sports Illustrated managing editor Mark Mulvoy told the Washington Post that once playing with Trump in the 1990s he realized that Trump had placed a ball just feet from the pin that he had never hit. Ahh, the guys I play with cheat all the time, Mulvoy said Trump told him. I have to cheat to keep up with them.
The same story referenced an interview Alice Cooper did in 2012 in which the rock star — a regular golfer — answered a question about the worst golf cheat he had ever played with by saying: I played with Donald Trump one time, that’s all I’m going to say.
Is Donald Trump lying about having a three handicap? | Golf | The Guardian
And
He claims to have a handicap of less than three, which would place him among the top rank of amateurs of any age.
In November the leader of the free world raised eyebrows when he claimed to have shot a round of 68.
He uploaded the score to the US Golf Association's Handicap Index, lowering his handicap from 2.8 to 2.5.
It was the first time he had uploaded a score for over a year despite dozens of visits to courses.
One commenter online said: "I've seen his swing, our president is not a 2.5."
Mr Trump has faced disbelief before, such as when he claimed to have shot an improbable 73 in "wet and windy conditions" on a par-72 championship course on which many professionals have come a cropper.
In January 2018 his former pro partner, 15-time LPGA Tour winner Suzann Pettersen, reportedly said Mr Trump "cheats like hell" on the golf course.
A Norwegian newspaper quoted her as saying: They say that if you cheat at golf, you cheat at business.
"I’m pretty sure he pays his caddie well, since no matter how far into the woods he hits the ball, it’s in the middle of the fairway when we get there.

His dad was a good golfer. A great golfer. The best golfer.
In 1994, Pyongyang media reported that Kim Jong-il shot an amazing 11 holes-in-one to achieve an unprecedented 38-under-par game on a regulation 18-hole golf course - on his first try at golf.
Reports say each of his 17 bodyguards verified the record-breaking feat.
It's a despot's trait.

Hey, smells of socialism to me.

Unions are socialist to a limited degree
You realise that socialism was founded on unionisation or workers collectives? They're pretty much its basic building block. Sheesh, you'll be a liberal next.

Re: Raking it in...
Also - minor point - Finland's climate is a little different to California's. Just a tad wetter. And maybe a bit cooler?

Re: The Barr Letter on the Mueller Report
Dr Adequate writes:
No criminal conspiracy that can be proved beyond reasonable doubt. That's different.
In the UK the prosecution service has to be convinced that there is a better than 50% chance of acheiving a conviction before prosecution. Once prosecuted, the jurors' test is beyond reasonable doubt. Is it the same in the US?

I think it's a brilliant idea and needs to be tested. The genius only needs to test it on himself to become an international hero and go down in history. I'll send him a bottle. Will a litre be enough?
