2. Yet more proof of Trump's stupidity on the golf course

Notice that he is wearing his glove on his left hand. Then take a look at almost every pro golfer: they remove the glove when putting.

There's an important reason for this. Simply, putting is the game within the game. Putting on the green has several different rules than at other points on the course. For example, a player is allowed to mark their ball (usually with a coin) and pick it up to clean and align for the putt; elsewhere on the course, one must almost never touch their ball.

To the point, putting is the scoring part of the game and the art of putting is not unlike the finesse one must have to be a good billiards player. It's a game of feeling and touch and a leather glove will interfere with that necessary sensitivity. Also, a pool table is perfectly flat while a putting green is usually exactly not that!

Of course, Trump cheats at golf and everything else so the rules don't apply to him.

He's such a slob.

He's also an idiot.
