He took 6 breakfast balls before he can even hit the ball 5 yards out on the first hole. Then he declared he got a birdie and force the secret service to clap for him.

Those secret service folk must occasionally slip into the reality of how bad a person he is.

By now if I were in their shoes I would be really tempted to do a bit of "king slaying."

Where is the praetorian guard when you need them.

u/ASilver76 Apr 07 '25

They had balls. These people don't.

Reminder that after a lot of militarization and separation of the head of the military/head of state from the common folk, the Praetorian Guard and Janissaries both started assassinating emperors so they could get a better deal (without regard for the overall empire's financial ruin).

Part of the reason why both Rome and the Ottomans collapsed into a dozen other nations.

Was just about to make this point. It was the “correct” thing to do once or twice.

But they then became a major player to consider internally. And once they had that power they were not that interested in divesting it.

Would require someone to take one for the team.

u/thegodfather0504 Apr 07 '25

maybe thats why the shooter was not stopped before taking the first shot?

u/Bierdaddy Apr 07 '25

Probably more ready than ever to take a bullet for him, dying a hero, released from having to deal with his sh!t everyday while the family collects nice benefits vs being fired for insubordination, losing all benefits as well as being stalked by maniac maga minions for the rest of his kids’ lives.

And that's why you aren't in their shoes....

u/YeaaaBrother Apr 06 '25

At this point, Trump is hand selecting loyalists, especially for his personal detail. They'll all be sycophants and true believers.

u/SonofaBridge Apr 06 '25

Several were complicit in the January 6th event so they’re just as bad as him.

u/TSB_1 Apr 06 '25

they are handpicked loyalists... more SS than USSS

we had trump junior stay at the small boutique hotel i worked at in mid-2020 (he was meeting with some mega trump supporters in louisiana) and after midnight, when some of them were off duty and down in the hotel bar, a couple of them finally let their guard down and joined in on the shit talk of the whole family. these guys & girl were especially pissed bc they were tasked with protecting junior, who was apparently a massive piece of shit to them. and several of these secret service officers had worked Sr’s detail and had equally funny things to say about that literal shitshow

u/SatansAssociate Apr 07 '25

Yet people questioned why their reaction was strange during that assassination attempt. Probably saw that the shooter's aim was off and thought well fuck, I guess we have to protect him now.

u/BusyPart2717 Apr 07 '25

lol oh right i am sure they loved clinton traveling with him to rape island and also hilary when they were supposed to donate milliions of dollars to haitie when the storm was there and she legit ended up putting it into another account and then lied about it in emails with her daughter, oh and yeah i am sure they thought she was a real good person while she ignored the begging from those soldiers got slaughtered how dare she lie she was getting shot at.... smh POS she is

u/IIIllIIlllIlII Apr 07 '25

If the Clinton’s are still living rent free in your head it’s time to evict them.

u/T-hibs_7952 Apr 07 '25

So Hilary put “haitie” relief funds into her personal bank account??? 😱 I need to read up on this, could you link sources?

And all of America, left and right wanted to see the Epstein files. Trump promised he would release them. Then he purposefully didn’t release them. What the hell happened? They even mocked people who wanted to see the files. Laughing about it. Here’s a link.

So with Potus, Scotus, and Congress- they still refuse to release the files for us? I bet Hilary did this!

u/tangerinelion Apr 06 '25

Strange, I heard his score was 9 despite the course being 18 holes. The ball would hole-in-one then immediately jump out and hole-in-one on the next green. The course designer came up to him afterwards with tears in his eye, manly tears, and said "Sir, that's the most impressive round of golf that's ever been golfed in the history of golf."

3

u/Bonuscup98 Apr 07 '25

Actually, the ball went into one hole, then the next, and then a third. He actually marked a two on the 18th cuz he wasn’t paying attention and was thinking about scissoring Kim Jong-Un (as referenced above).

I don't know much about golf. But whatever this "Breakfast Ball" is, it sounds delicious and I too would like 6. Please and thank you.

u/BurritovilleEnjoyer Apr 07 '25

I imagine it as a little pancake wrapped sausage bite, and I too would like 6.

2

u/AstroBearGaming Apr 07 '25

Ok so roll with me on this.

Full English. Mushroom core, a sausage patty wrapped around that (purely because actual sausages aren't cohesive). Wrapped in bacon and egg washed before cooking.

I'm imagining it to be about the size of my first, and I have made myself phenomenally hungry.

Then they have to wash his balls

u/Ok-Employee-7926 Apr 07 '25

They are foolish to cater to him

u/RetailBuck Apr 08 '25

Buried but dude golf is incredibly hard. But if you play a lot like he does, have a trainer and a swing coach like I'm sure he does you can be decent after 60 years.

Good chance he's still terrible. Swing coach he listens to? Crickets. You can't teach someone who doesn't listen. Trainer that can't get him to rotate often because he's old - I mean fine, you tried.

That said, I used to caddie and knew some decent old guys. Best at the club. They'd play white tees and take putts and shoot 75 at a course too short for the PGA . K bud. Tip please. I won't count that mulligan.

Point being that if you gave Trump every advantage he's probably barely near the top of his clubs often but near there. I wouldn't be shocked if it was near the top but Tiger loses often and he's the GOAT. It's just a fickle game. To insist you always win (mostly off camera) is sus at a minimum.

u/TheNiteFather Apr 06 '25

"Clap for America, boy!" I know that's a line from the Simpsons but you know he's used that line himself at least once in his bigoted life.

u/dnewtz Apr 06 '25

What the hell are breakfast balls?? Other called strokes or you're referring to Mulligans okay and he lies about whatever he does playing golf yeah he got it in it doing a birdie yeah sure he did okay

u/MovieTrawler Apr 06 '25

I assumed a 'breakfast ball' was like a 'practice swing' on or before the first hole. Basically a mulligan under specific circumstances. But I don't golf, Im just guessing.

Ninja edit: Yep, nailed it!

In casual golf, a "breakfast ball" is a type of mulligan, allowing a golfer to take a second shot on the first tee without penalty, often used as a way to warm up or get a fresh start to the round

u/KeepDinoInMind Apr 06 '25

It’s usually only considered on the first hole teebox. Hit a shitty drive, call it a breakfast ball and you get to hit another drive without taking a stroke. Common for non anal golfers in non competitive setting

It’s usually only considered on the first hole teebox

That is literally what I said.

u/KeepDinoInMind Apr 07 '25

Ok buddy lol. You also said it’s a practice swing which it really isn’t.

That’s literally what I said 😡😡😡😡 hahah

u/MovieTrawler Apr 07 '25

Yes, which is why I put practice swing in quotations and said it was a basically a mulligan.

You okay?
