start referring to him as Mr Plump. I think when Nancy Pelosi referred to Plump as being morbidly obese, that would have hurt him more than if she had kneed him in the groin. He's a bully and it would be good for him to get some nasty nicknames right back at him.

(497 posts)I was watching Trevor Noah on youtube and he referred to Trump as plump and I thought it would be a description that would get right under his skin.

(3,252 posts)Caddies refer to Trump as Pele, due to his pencheant of cheating at golf by kicking his ball into play and down the fairway. I think insulting his golf game would really piss him off.
Apologies to the REAL Pele.

(497 posts)is that nobody seems to have told him that he's only playing against himself. I watched a video about him cheating at golf and it seems that when he's opening a new golf course, he plays a round of golf before anybody else and then has a plaque made up to show that he holds the course record.

A HERETIC I AM
(24,371 posts)is an indication of his specific psychosis.
He cheats when he knows you can see him do it. He has a basic disregard for the accepted formalities of the game. It's been said that he will insist on Teeing off first on every hole, regardless of whether or not he has "honors" or not, then after he shoots, he speeds off in his golf cart before the next person even gets his ball set to address.
You just don't do that! Imagine, setting up your tee shot and one of the foursome has buggered off down the fairway! And it wasn't even his turn to shoot! There is etiquette to follow and he simply ignores it, yet he claims he is a terrific golfer and loves the game.
He drives golf carts onto greens.
He makes others (caddies) cheat for him
He's an asshole on the course, full stop.
But most people who play with him apparently just shrug and say something like "He's buying lunch. So what the hell"
Here's Chris Hayes on a bit about this subject from a year ago April;
CNN's John Berman interviewing longtime sportswriter and author of "Commander in Cheat" Rick Reilly, also from April 2019;
Trumpy is a fucking scumbag of the highest order.
He doesn't like children.
He doesn't like dogs.
He eats his steaks well done. (No one that likes beef does that. NO ONE)
He is a serial liar.
He is a serial cheat.
He is a con man of the highest order.
As a child of the 50's, he doesn't even have an interest in cars, for fucks sake.
He will throw your tee shot into the lake or into the sand trap when you aren't looking
And he drives his fucking golf cart onto the god damned green.
He's an asshole.

(22,037 posts)This is a terrific book by Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilley. He describes in great detail with numerous examples and testimonials from individuals the many ways Trump bastardizes the great game of golf.
One recurring thing Trump apparently does happens on the teeing ground. Trump will hit first, then jump in his souped-up motor cart, (he always rides alone and his cart drives faster than the others), and race down the fairway to his ball before anyone else has teed off. Not only is this dangerous but it's considered very poor etiquette. The reason he does this is simple: when he gets to his ball, he can prove the lie before anyone can see him cheat. There are stories galore in the book and Trump does this all the way to the green where he has been seen to kick other players' balls off the putting surface!
Before he announced his candidacy for president, I had the occasion to play one of the Trump courses in the Bronx in New York City. The course is owned by the city and Trump has a management contract to run the operation. We played on a weekday afternoon and the greens fee was $175 which I consider to be very expensive. On weekends, the fees top $250! I often play at Bethpage State Park where the fees run between $38-$75 and my old home course was only $24.
Trump's course is on the Upper East River near the Whitestone Bridge and the views of Long Island Sound and the city skyline are spectacular. The course itself was nice enough and it was in pristine condition.
On one of the par-3's, there was a big bronze plaque next to the teeing ground that claimed that Trump got a hole-in-one while playing the inaugural round. I knew, of course, that it was a lie but the real story is even better. A groundskeeper from another course with whom I'm friends told me the true story. On the day Trump played, they had cut 6-9 holes on every green in order to learn how balls would roll on them. Trump's tee shot went into one of these auxiliary holes, not the one with the flagstick in it.
He's such an ass. I would never haver signed his scorecard. Of course, I would never want to play golf with him anyway.
