Pardon the extended analogy ahead, but as President Donald Trump is easily the best golfer among all presidents, it plays well.
Dont believe me about the best golfer assessment? Ask ChatGPT or any AI agent. It isnt even remotely a close question.
Having been a caddy since 1966, Ive carried lots of clubs, raked plenty of traps and held many pins. “Pipeline Joe Day” was the best senior Ive ever caddied for, and he earned his nickname among the golf gophers because he drove 16 or 17 out of 18 fairways or greens well into his 80s, but as he lost distance when he crossed over the octogenarian mark, the birdies mostly went away. Even the best short games among seniors can save par but wont make many birdies.
TRUMP IS WINNING EVERY BATTLE IN IRANâAND RISKING THE WAR THAT MATTERS
President Trump can routinely shave a stroke off of par on any given hole, and it wouldnt surprise if there is an eagle or two every month of rounds.
But, as no golfer is perfect, the president is bound to have had some awful rounds and some very bad holes. Not “Tin Cup” Kevin Costner bad, but bad. He must go “OB” on his drive at least occasionally, and a three putt on top of hitting three off the teeâ¦well, thats usually triple bogey land for even very good amateurs and most pros.
Like even the greatest golfers, every president yanks a decision or three almost every round. If a president has ever had a perfect month of perfect days, Im unaware of it. So mistakes will be made, and President Trump made a big one this past weekend.
TRUMP WARNS IRAN FIGHTING ISN’T OVER AS HE VOWS US WILL ‘WIN’ AS TALKS FADE
“Reliable reports from a variety of sources confirm that President Trump had ordered a major escalation of combat with Iran for this past weekend only to call it off late Saturday night. Some of our allies were primed to participate, but others urged a delay.”
It is the second time President Trump has called off a return to major combat operations that would continue uninterrupted for the weeks it would take to try and break the rump regime in Iran run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (“IRGC.”) Pay almost no attention to the civilian puppets of the rump regime. It is a military dictatorship inside Iran now.
“We just want to win,” President Trump declared at the Cabinet meeting in Camp David last week. That was a clear and candid declaration of the end game: A return to the genuinely open Strait of Hormuz coupled with a verifiable abandonment of the Iranian regimes decades-long drive for nuclear weapons.
MORNING GLORY: PRESIDENT TRUMP, IRAN AND NAPOLEONS STILL-RELEVANT MAXIM
President Trump knows that the IRGC lies and that the IRGC cheats. He has said many times that the regimes negotiators will spend hours talking about the nuclear program in closed meetings, and then immediately walk to the microphones and declare the nuclear program was not discussed at all in the same meetings.
“They are scum,” he has said. Secretary of State Rubio has declared, “These peop
