Bunkers

June 3, 2020

Ironically, golfer Donald Trump found himself in a bunker while protestors, peaceful and otherwise, were demonstrating in D.C. Stung by the criticism of being a wuss, he lashed out at peaceful protestors with tear gas and mounted police to clear a path for his iconic photo opportunity in front of an historic church holding a bible. As criticism poured in about the self-styled tough guy cowering in a bunker like another former tough guy, he lashed out in the only way he knows. He lied about it, but the whole world was watching. As a golf rules official, Donald Trump gets an immediate disqualification for lying about his position in the bunker, playing from a wrong place, not correcting his error, and thus creating a significant advantage. That kind of behavior may work when he is playing in the Mar-a-Lago club championship, but it does not work when you are the leader of the free world.
