Trump says a lot of things.
It took decades but we finally got an acceptable golfer in the White House.
He once said that he's a scratch golfer.
I've seen him play. He's very good for his age, but he's no scratch golfer.

Bill Clinton cheats at golf by flagrantly violating the accepted rules of play.
That's the worst kind of insult to your fellow players.
I've played thousands of rounds of golf and wouldn't need all the fingers on one hand to count the number of times I ran into someone like that.
I wouldn't last nine holes with that degenerate before walking off in disgust.

Trump, on the other hand, scrupulously follows the rules and puts down correct scores but then "improves" his score when you ask him how he played.

As a native NY'er, I ran into a lot of people like Trump. You don't listen to what they say, you watch what they do.
Until the check clears, a signed contract means nothing.

There really are "alternative facts."

It's up to you to pick the real ones.
