During a speech in front of South Korean lawmakers at the National Assembly in Seoul on Wednesday, President Donald Trump praised Korean golfers and promoted his golf club in New Jersey.
“Korean golfers are some of the best on Earth,” he said in the address that also touched on topics like threatening North Korea to end its nuclear ambitions. “In fact, and you know what I’m going to say, the Women’s U.S. Open was held this year at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., and it just happened to be won by a great Korean golfer.”
Trump also mentioned that eight of the top 10 players at the match this summer were from Korea.
“And the top four, one, two, three, four, were from Korea. There you go. Congratulations,” he said.
While the remarks were met with laughter and applause, it’s just the latest blatant attempt to promote his own private businesses from the platform of the presidency, a move that’s been met with broad criticism since he was elected.
But of course he did.
Complete lack of ethics, morals and trustworthiness – that’s the Current Occupant.
“And I can get you a tee time at just twice the normal greens fee, cart extra, plus a minimal $1,000 service charge.”
There are tens of millions of citizens of this country who’ll never entirely get the vision the founders had, how the abstract principles are meant to play out in daily life, all that. Not bad people, just not that thoughtful about those things. But everyone at all honest-minded knows a venal vulgarian like this isn’t the right kind of person to be President, knows on an intuitive level he’s wrong for the part. So even though a lot of people who shrugged and voted for him may never understand the danger he poses, they may well decide at some point that he wasn’t what he claimed and that he’s just a loudmouth slob. Not all, but not all abandoned Nixon either. Only enough did.
Hey, if he’s talking about the golf club, he’s not bringing us any closer to nuclear war. Until he’s gone we may have to be satisfied with small victories.
I watched the faces of the assembly members when they heard what Trump was saying. It was the international language of WTF?
