Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Where's a real doctor's exam, while we're at it? Not one where all his tests come back positive?

 

Looks like YF had to run ...

 

Don't you have to attend to your wife and/or kids every once in a while?

 

No, I lost their address. You?

 

Dr. Drew was busy, so ...

 

I'm not sure what they want me to say!

"Yeah, release your damn taxes Trump!"

 

And when's he going to learn how to properly use a reflexive pronoun?

 

Trump's a celebrity. Surely they could have gotten Dr. Oz.

 

Is he pending an indictment for tax fraud. #peoplearetalking

 

Perhaps there should be a Congressional hearing or a special prosecutor.

 

Maybe seven Congressional investigations would be better. Bet they'd find something.

 

Only slightly related — and you take this as it's meant, a genuine surprise, and less as a gotcha zinger — but I am really surprised Trump's answer to Maureen Dowd asking if anyone he'd ever slept with had an abortion just never became a thing, even for a day. This is why I am truly baffled by the Christian Coalition's embrace of him. I truly don't care if Trump impregnated Princess Diana or Carla Bruni and paid for an abortion. I don't even care as a gotcha. There are a thousand other reasons to dislike him, and his revolving door of positions on abortion is pretty far down on my list. But how does someone whose MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE is abortion read this exchange and think "This guy, I want to vote for him!"

DOWD:

Given his draconian comment, sending women back to back alleys, I had to ask: When he was a swinging bachelor in Manhattan, was he ever involved with anyone who had an abortion?

“Such an interesting question,” he said. “So what’s your next question?”

Obviously that would not be in his detailed medical records. But it made me think of it.

*And yes, YF, maybe someone should have asked Bill the same. Let's stipulate that and move on from that counterpoint.

For all Trump's awfulness, the one thing I almost admire about him is that he answers questions, often (usually) to his own detriment. (Even his non-answer here on abortion is sort of an answer. I realize it seems like a contradiction, but for someone who lies so effortlessly, it's weird he didn't just lie here, right?)

Maybe it's an ego thing, the need to answer. (It's probably an ego thing.) But I still almost admire it. Like the Harambe stuff. Such a ridiculous question, and most candidates would have brushed it off and said "That's not really something I care to comment on at this time"

But Trump had, like, this long answer! He effortlessly waded right into the Internet's stupid game. So fascinating.
