Trump used funeral to beg Obama to play golf -- and snub triggered meltdown

Trump used funeral to beg Obama to play golf — and snub triggered meltdown: Book

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-obama-2672944781/

-snip-

According to a bombshell new book obtained by Axios, Trump spent Carter's solemn memorial service in January "enticing" Obama with descriptions of his courses worldwide, and begging his predecessor for an afternoon round. The conversation happened as the pair sat side by side.

The book, "2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America" by Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arndorf, also reveals fresh details of Trump's post-election call with Kamala Harris, where he joked about phone service issues before telling his rival: "You're a tough cookie."

But with the golf conversation, Obama didn't take the bait — and his rejection clearly stung.clearly stung.

The Daily Beast reported that he tore down Obama's White House portrait, attacked Obama's library and shared QAnon conspiracy memes targeting his predecessor.

All the while Barack Obama trolled TACO over his puny crowds.

TSF would have blatantly cheated and then would have immediately posted on Truth Social that he beat Obama at golf. By a yuge spread.

So desperate to have something on record where he beat Obama at SOMETHING.

So far, only half way through this year, US taxpayers have had to shell out about $50 million to pay for the G.O.P. billionaire to play Gourmet G.O.P. Luxury Golffe.

For the record, I object.
