Pat-- Let me answer your comments as best I can, recognizing that you make some good points--
I don't want to get into a Presidential/political discussion on a golf course website, although I do agree that Bloomberg would be good. But Trump has no qualities that would make him a good candidate. It's hard to believe that he is really serious.
His business success has been mixed at best. He wants us to believe that he came from nothing, but his father was really a successful property owner, though small. The Donald has lost money for himself and others in casinos and other properties. On balance, he has made money, but no more near as much as he'd have you believe. I think it is interesting that most all people listed in the Forbes 400 seek to talk down their wealth--the Donald argues that it is understated. Certainly he has made more money than most of us, but why isn't he content to let that be the case without exaggeration and hype?
But--on to golf--the point of this site. I have played his courses in West Palm and LA, and seen pictures of others. In my opinion, they are fair at best. Too gimmicked up for me. Not strategic--just eye candy. Certainly not in the class he would want you to believe.
But I don't want to criticize anyone who makes a sincere effort to succeed in golf, even if I don't agree with the outcome. But a self-promoter like Trump turns my stomach and causes me to conclude that he is a negative factor to the game I love.
