3. I've heard that he cheats at golf.

There was an interview with a PGA player a couple of years ago where he said that Trump was one of the worst people he has ever played with.

Is there anything that he doesn't cheat at?

Wake up, people This is the real con. the staged crap with hoodlum monarchists is the distraction.
