And that's not one of these articles that reports on the existence of a report in another publication. USA Today makes no mention of the Politico article that I blogged first thing this morning, "Is the President Fit? Donald Trump is the least athletic president in generations. Here’s why it matters."
As Kevin said in the comments to that earlier post: "Is this what's left to them after the collusion with Russia effort failed? Bullying Trump about his weight?"
Did some memo go out? This is the talking point — Trump is fat??!!

I am not a golfer and do not like the game but I did once get a boss of mine on the course at Cypress. I actually arranged for him and his wife to stay the night in the club. The fucker drove up and didn't like the looks of it and went down to Carmel to a hotel. My friend, the member, forgave me. I, of course, never again tried to help a so-called golfer.

Benie Sanders honeymooning in the Soviet city of Yaroslavl, 160 miles northeast of Moscow in 1988?

Talking to a Russian now?

Remember the NYT profile of Obama press secretary Jay Carney? Soviet posters and propaganda on his walls. That was cool!
This (true) story is dedicated to Chuck, who knows not of what he speaks.
I met one of the senior-most caddies at Pebble Beach about ten years ago. Interesting guy and with lots of great stories. I asked if he'd ever worked for someone interesting at the AT&T tournament, even tho all the pros and many of the A-list celebs bring their own loopers. He said, yeah...Donald Trump. It was in the late 80s. He said they hit it off, especially when Trump said he didn't really like going to all the fancy parties at The Lodge so my caddie friend took him to eat at the buffet tents set up for all the tournament volunteers and workers. He said Trump had a great time with the folks he met.
Anyway, the true story goes like this: they were playing Spyglass Hill and came to the par on the back side: #12 or 13. About 175 yards, downhill, pond on the left. Caddie tells Trump "its a six iron" Trump says "I think its the seven." So they start debating, back and forth for several minutes, while the pro in the group is rolling his eyes!
Finally, my caddie had an idea. "Look, Don...you just wrote that book, Art of the Deal, right? Ok, I'll make you a deal. Hit the club I'm telling you to hit, and if I'm wrong, you don't have to pay me for the weekend."
Trump thought about it, agreed and hit the six iron. It went into the hole! At the end of the weekend, he wrote the caddie a check for $10,000.
True story. Google Trump, hole in one, Monterey...the local newspaper ran a story about it. Late 80s.
EDH said..."Trump Takes Monster Shit!"
When asked to comment he replied "Oh, it was big league..let me tell you. Perhaps the biggest, I'm not sure. We don't know what Hillary did during that break at the debate."
You know..Kissinger has never seemed the picture of health...
Thanks for sharing that story, jameswhy!
Bob Ellison -- I did not break 75 today, but I did shoot 38 on the back.
Working out is gay.
"Hit the club I'm telling you to hit, and if I'm wrong, you don't have to pay me for the weekend."
Never argue with the caddies at Pebble. On some of those holes, you can't see the fairway beyond the hill. The caddie will say "aim at that lamppost on the left." I used to hit them pretty straight but not that far when I got older. Especially after my back surgery.
He was always right and he quickly figured out my game and told me what to do.
On the 18th green I holed out a 30 foot putt one time. There were about ten people who had come out of the bar to watch, not that we were anything but three doctors with indexes around 10. They applauded. I didn't have the heart to tell them it was for a bogie.
The caddie had called it exactly. Never argue.
I played Spyglass when it first opened and didn't like it.
Spanish Bay opened much later and I only played a couple of times. By that time I was going to Tucson to play if I took a long weekend.
We were looking at some old family movies last night and one segment was me playing golf at age 15.
I have trouble believing I was ever that limber.
Trump talked to Putin at a dinner! A SECOND meeting!!
(while being fat!)
Fabi, congrats on that 38!
My best golf buddy, now passed away, was famous at my club for the ace he got on #10. About 130 yards. He really did ace it, after hitting his first ball into the woods.
Trump talked to Putin at a dinner! A SECOND meeting!!
With a SECOND scoop of ice cream! There, both bases covered.
"I have trouble believing I was ever that limber."
I have trouble believing you were ever that young.
