Good Morning.
Ah, Golf. The most boring sport on Earth.
The playground of millionaires and politicians, but likely mystifying to most of us that have never hit the links. I'm sure many of us have hit the mini-putt at one point or another in our lives, but surely your world doesn't revolve around chasing that little white ball around a lawn, or watching those that do.
In any case - this activity appears to be the MOST IMPORTANT THING to the convicted felon currently running for President. So much so, that
he's challenged his opponent to some sort of gladiatorial affair. (Fox News link intentional.)
After the two presidential candidates got into a heated discussion about their golf handicaps, former President Trump now wants to walk the walk.
At his rally at his Doral course in south Florida, the 45th president challenged President Biden to a golf match, even offering $1 million to a charity of Biden's choice if he were to lose.
"I'm also officially challenging crooked Joe to an 18-hole golf match right here on Doral's Blue Monster, considered one of the greatest tournament golf courses anywhere in the world, one of the great courses of the world," Trump said Tuesday. "It will be among the most-watched sporting events in history. Maybe bigger than the Ryder Cup or even the Masters.
"And I will even give Joe Biden 10 strokes a side. Ten strokes, that's a lot. That means 20 strokes, in case you don't play golf. And if he wins, I will give the charity of his choice, any charity of his choice, $1 million. And I'll bet you he doesn't take the offer."
Of course, the Biden camp was
quick with a response.
“We’d challenge Donald Trump to create jobs, but he lost 3 million. We’d challenge Donald Trump to stand up to Putin, but he bent the knee to him. We’d challenge Donald Trump to follow the law, but he breaks it,” he said.
He also hit Mr. Trump on not being “seen in public for 12 days.”
“Now he’s inviting fictional serial killers to dinner, teasing lil’ Marco Rubio, praising Project 2025 architect Tom Homan, and challenging the President of the United States to golf,” Mr. Singer said.
But the most withering response of all was the parting line.
“Donald Trump is a liar, a convict, and a fraud only out for himself — par for the course,” he said.
I'm so glad we can have a mature conversation about the things that truly matter to most Americans.
