          Humiliating the Jets for 20 years or so qualifies him in my eyes.

            Turning a blind eye to and refusing to cooperate with investigations into the sexual assault of college kids under his watch? Oh wait, no, that's the other guy getting the medal, Gym Jordan. Yeah, no idea why Darth Belichick is getting it. The medal is already tarnished beyond recognition anyway, just like everything else Trump has gotten his tiny little hands on.

              The fallout continues.

              Stripe is no longer processing credit card payments for the Trump campaign, Shopify stopped operating online stores for the Trump Organization and the campaign and the PGA announced it is pulling a major golf tournament from one of his properties.

                Does anybody know which PGA associated courses Trump owns? I would think that would be a big deal... he doesn't own anything irreplaceable, does he?

                I think Judge Jude is the golf nut around these parts. This snippet got me curious.

                  He owns at least two very much irreplaceable courses with a pretty storied gold history - Doral in Florida, and Turnburry in Scotland. He owns a bunch of others, but I'm not sure how they rate.

                    his choice in golf course sites and designers is one of the few things where he's anywhere near as good as he claims.

                    I attended the 2017 US Women's Open at Trump National Bedminster in central Jersey. (it's located on the former estate of John DeLorean - best remembered for his car in the "Back to the Future" movie.)

                    for those who don't know, a majority of the top few dozen players on the LPGA Tour are Asian - mainly from South Korea. so they didn't seem to "get" the whole Trump controversy.

                    as with the men's Tour, no doubt the majority of American players are conservative - and Trump is seen as a major benefactor to promoting women's golf. nobody boycotted, iirc.

                    the 2022 PGA Championship was about as precious a pearl that Trump had to look forward as there was, to across all of his businesses. it's one of the four annual "majors" (with The Masters, The U.S. Open, and British Open) and it's no secret that Trump - frowned upon as vulgar by the REAL country club blueblood set over the years - saw this as his ticket at last into the elite golf "big time." I can't overstate how much of a kick in the nuts this is for him.

                    Trump National Doral in Miami indeed is his most famous U.S. course. it hosted a PGA Tour event annually for more than 50 years before the event was relocated to - wait for it, wait for it, wait for it - Mexico in 2017.

                    the Turnberry course in Scotland first hosted the British Open in 1977, when a young Tom Watson took down Jack Nicklaus for the Claret Jug. its 4th and so far final time as host was in 2009 - that's the one where a 59-year-old Watson preposterously only needed a par on the final hole to make worldwide sports history. sadly, he couldn't quite do it, and lost in a playoff.

                    the British golf royalty announced back in 2015 that it had no interest in playing on any Trump-owned courses due to his "tone."

                    Trump also has two courses in Dubai.

                      Thanks for the insights. Anything thats a kick in the nuts to Trump is music to my ears.

                      I know Scotland is keeping him from his course there right now, using Covid regulations as the impetus. Methinks the excuse is a little convenient right now, but it makes me laugh regardless.

                            This has to be some of the clearest evidence yet of the absolute idiocy, selfishness, and inhumanity of some Trump supporters.

                            Someone carved TRUMP into the back of a Manatee in Florida. Sickening.
