In response to conspiracy theories alleging Dwight Eisenhower was a communist, Russell Kirk said, “Ike’s not a communist, he’s a golfer.” That was supposed to be a put-down of Eisenhower, but now both candidates want to tell the American people they are golfers.
Resolved: The second presidential debate to be decided on the golf course.
I’m just glad that both men agreed that they have handicaps.
Kim Jong Un’s average golf score is an 18.
Biden challenging Trump to carry a golf bag around a course with him, before getting into a fight about their handicaps, was by far the most preposterous moment of the night. What a show.
It is very silly that the most powerful country on earth is currently contemplating who is best to command its armed forces based on the candidates’ respective golf handicap.
Joe Biden has never sounded less convincing than when he tried to physically challenge Donald Trump.
What are we even doing here, people? Donald Trump just had to say “let’s stop acting like children.”
Trump is now talking about how he can hit a golf ball further than Biden, if you’re wondering how enlightening this debate is. Now, the moderators let Trump’s mic go on so they can compare golf handicaps.
I laugh about Trump bragging about winning “two club championships” at Mar-a-Lago when he is well-known to be a notorious golf cheater.
(He also has a rep as a genuinely decent amateur golfer, but a cheater nevertheless.)
Biden talking about how trusted we are by our allies stands in stark contrast to the reporting from even left-leaning global media after the Afghan debacle.
