Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

George W. Bush had a DUI, although whether Republicans knew that when they nominated him isn't clear.

 

Oh, my gosh, that's right!!!

 

Pretty sure several candidates have had protest arrests on their record.

Google tells me Pierce and Grant were both arrested while being President, one for running over a woman with his horse and the other for speeding on bus horse.

 

Trump is mad his people deleted the tweet.

In a Defiant, Angry Speech, Donald Trump Defends Image Seen as Anti-Semitic

 

OUTSTANDING

 

... and vigorously reaffirmed his praise of Saddam Hussein, the murderous Iraqi dictator!!!

 

@Starman, too far with the photo man.

 

6 ... electoral votes.

 

He said his staff tweets for him? I thought he claimed he ran it his own damn self?

Also, tripling down on that when he should be hammering Clinton over the FBI thing is beyond stupid.

 

I was curious, so I looked up the Pierce thing. According to this guy, he believes it was false.

One stunning Pierce story that is true is his son dying right in front of him and his wife in a train accident during his four-month lame duck period after the election and before he was inaugurated. All three of their kids died young.

Fact checking Trump on Saddam.

AP FACT CHECK: Trump trips on Saddam's record

 

Not really a key part of the article, but does my reading comprehension suck or does the quote make no sense:
Mr. Kushner obliquely acknowledged that the Star of David post was a mistake, but cited it as evidence of the refreshing originality of Mr. Trump’s campaign.

“If my father in law’s fast-moving team was careless in choosing an image to retweet, well part of the reason it’s so shocking is that it’s the actual candidate communicating with the American public rather than the armies of handlers who poll-test ordinary candidates’ every move,” he wrote.

So...people who aren't Trump (his team) screwed up by retweeting something they shouldn't have...and it's so shocking because it's Trump actually communicating to people. Those seem like contradictory thoughts.
