Aging golfer's campaign slows down going into final month before election
So far this month, Donald Trump has held six rallies. One of them was held on Thursday of last week in Nassau County, New York, a state he lost by 23 points in 2020 and by 22 points in 2016. The rally started at 7 p.m. Can you guess what Trump was doing that day before he spoke at his rally?
Playing golf.
The next day, Friday, at his residence/club/resort/hotel Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump gave an interview to Sinclair Broadcasting Group, a conservative network of independent television stations around the country. You want to know what else Trump did that day?
He played golf.
Here is a list of the rallies Trump has held since the summer, compared with a list of the rallies he held during his winning election campaign in 2016:
June 2016: 14
June 2024: 6
July 2016: 10
July 2024: 4
August 2016: 26
August 2024: 7
September 2016: 21
September 2024: 6
Last Friday in his interview when Sinclair Broadcasting’s Sharyl Attkisson asked Trump if he had plans to run for president again in 2028 if he doesn’t win this year, Trump made news when he answered, “No, I don't. No, I don't. I think that that will be, that will be it. I don't see that at all. I think that hopefully we're gonna be successful.”
I don’t know about you, but that sounds like the answer of a man who misses the golf course.
This is an excerpt from my weekly column in Salon. To read the full column, follow this link:
He'll have plenty of time to play golf. On a PlayStation in his prison cell. Please, gods.
Misses golfing a bunch , (not that being Prez interfered much with that).
His Handlers convinced him, out of his rancid mouth, less is more, (which he gleefully accepted…see prior paragraph).
He’s depending upon his Goons disrupting the Counting to such an extent Prez Selection thrown to House.
Feds and Dem Govs…beware!
