Trump’s call for mass deportations runs into messy realities
Lydia Ko, the World No 2, was standing on the 16th tee at six-under but paused to watch as Trump’s helicopter did two circuits above the course before landing in prominent position in front of the hotel.
The reporter moved on to ask Trump why he’s here.
An LPGA Tour spokesperson would not confirm or deny Trump’s claims, classifying the conversation as “private”, but the rest of the golf hierarchy must be looking on with increasing concern.
Donald Trump’s show-stealing arrival at the Women’s British Open on Thursday upstaged another strong start to a major by South Korea’s Hyo-Joo Kim.
Trump, however, believes Turnberry would an ideal venue to host the Open once renovations to the course are complete. Seemingly just to drive his appearance home, Trump had his helicopter circle the area twice before he landed.
Ko is still learning to play links golf, to navigate through the elements.
“I was in 100 percent control of the ball, the flight, the spin, everything you need to do in conditions like this, ” said the sixth-ranked Pettersen, who called it one of the best rounds of her career. She was correct. The “accredited media” were instructed that questions must be kept to golf, although someone clearly forgot to tell Trump.
That’s a big mistake in mainstream journalism, where the Very Serious People insist we must respect what Trump’s voters represent. And Trump didn’t disappoint. “I know you are surprised to hear that”. He said that he would deport all illegal immigrants but would grant the “good ones” to enter the country via an “expedited process”.
“We’re diplomatic in our country and everybody hates us all over the world“. I failed to keep up the Beltway fiction that we must take these voters seriously because they’re “frustrated” with Washington, and thus their irrational anger and weakness for slogans over solutions is a symptom of a grave political malady in The Age of Obama.
DONALD Trump flew into Scotland yesterday and declared he expects to be president of the United States.
Bloomberg quotes “Roger, who works with the elderly”, saying this: “Specifically, he said he’ll put a wall on the southern border”. “I’m getting wiser. I’m learning. I don’t look at records, I guess you guys will let me know if I get close to any”.
Still, Trump said he thinks he’ll make a great president.
“I think there’s been too much diplomacy”.
“Playing in Scotland meant there was no great hurry to get to Turnberry and she learns every time she plays a links course”, said Hamilton of her overseas foray. “I had great success [in my life]”.
“There’s no way I’ll get ahead of myself. People say, “Oh gee, it might be tough from that standpoint”, but actually I think the world would unite if I were the leader of the United States”.
