Does Robert De Niro play golf? On principle, he probably proscribes the putting and Penfold 7s , seeing how totally opposed he is to the golfing megalomaniac Donald Trump.

Bobby will probably like a new book out that seeks to explain Trump though.
Titled, COMMANDER IN CHEAT, it’s a scathing and insightful look at the current leader of the free world and self proclaimed leader boarder of the fairway.

Rick Reilly, a veteran writer for Sports Illustrated and ESPN and eleven times voted National Sportswriter of the Year, tees off with Trumps personal view of the game before chipping in to his professional interests.

Trump, it has to be said, has talents and skills as a golfer, but his achievements as a champion have been exaggerated no less truly by the man himself.

Like Auric Goldfinger, Trump likes to win, and cheating on the fairway is, to him, a fair way to win. Like Auric Goldfinger, Trump also owns most of the courses he claims club championship of.

With so much foozling, it’s bamboozling his score card is so low. For Trump it truly seems a case of different strokes for different folks.

And then there’s foreign policy.

Why did Trump turn his back on Puerto Rico after the 2017 hurricane?
Why wasn’t Indonesia on the travel ban list? or the UAE or Saudi Arabia.
Why reverse the Cuban travel relaxation set up by Obama?

Golf is the answer.

In page after page, Reilly illustrates how Trump tramples the etiquette of the game. A cad to caddies, coarse on the course, the bogeyman of the bogey, Trump appears to be an A hole in one.

Reilly writes: “You cant kick and throw and foozle your way through a presidency. You cant cheat and fudge and fake running the world, for one good reason: You don’t own the course.”
