A Real Tease

That Donnie is a real tease.

He made no public appearances since June 28, spending most of that time playing golf while the Democrats self-immolate. That’s good strategy. Yesterday, he held a rally at his Doral Country Club sharing the stage with Marco Rubio, J.D. Vance and Doug Bergrum, the three finalists for this year’s GOP vice-presidential slot. That’s a desirable job. Being Trump’s V-P worked out so well for Mike Pence. Surely, Donnie would announce his pick yesterday.

But he didn’t.

What Donnie did was tell lies attacking Kamala Harris:

• “Kamala and the entire Democrat establishment have been caught red-handed in the thick of the biggest scandal and the biggest coverup in our history!” Bigger than Teapot Dome? Bigger than Watergate? Bigger than the president’s son-in-law getting $2 billion from the Saudis???
• “Kamala never visited the US — Mexico border!” That must be her body double in all those photos.
• “She was sent to stop Russia from invading Ukraine and failed!” Actually, she went to Kiev to warn them that the Russians were coming.
• “She wants to take away your gas-powered cars and trucks!” When that tow truck heads toward your driveway, Kamala will probably be driving it.

Donnie also let a near-compliment slip:

• “She’s mentally cognitive, I’ll give her that.” Can she also be physically or morally cognitive?

Then the Man Who Strives to be The Leader of the Free World challenged his rival for that esteemed position to a golf match. Apparently, the one thing that stuck in Donnie’s craw during The Great Debate of 2024 was when Joe Biden claimed he had a golf handicap of six when he was vice president. No one out-golfs Donald J. Trump. Rather than spending millions on this election, why not let the presidency be decided on the links? It worked for the Greeks vs. the Trojans when Achilles and Hector went at it one-on-one. It worked for the Israelites vs. the Philistines when David challenged Goliath.

Of course, this epic golf match would be held at a Trump course. Trump, Inc. would make a fortune on the TV rights, not to mention food and drink.

Stop teasing us, Donnie. Choose your V-P and hit the links with Joe (or Kamala).
