“I want to talk about golf and Trump.
“There was a famous sportswriter years ago for the Citizen: Eddie McCabe. And Eddie wrote something about golf a long, long time ago. It was a whole page in the Citizen; I wish I could find it. It was a Saturday. He talked about the elusive swing that everybody searches for and never finds. I never forgot that, and it’s true. If you play golf, you know; 99 per cent of the people — and I shouldn’t say this — they can’t really play. They keep searching and searching.
“And ever since I read that I realized I was on the wrong track, and I started to change, and right away it helped, big time. There’s no such thing as the perfect swing. And if you watch the golf teachers, they’re trying to teach a perfect swing. But we’re not perfect, we’re amateurs. If you watch the Golf Channel, there are about 100 tips a day, and if you multiply that by a year, it’s about 40,000. And the next year there’s another 40,000. And (Eddie) was strictly against that.
“Now, Trump. Trump likes women, and I think that’s a good sign. Now before I go any further I should say that I’m not politically correct, and neither is the U.S. Right now, political correctness will disappear from the U.S., and I hope it happens here with our far, far-left premier.
“Trump, he was successful in everything. He talks rhetoric stupid sometimes, and he shouldn’t; take that away, there. And he’s putting a team together now of not politicians, but really smart people who know what they’re doing. And I think he’ll straighten it out. The States was a mess before this happened, a real mess. Overseas, the economy, all kinds of riots, you name it. And he was different, that’s all, and I like the way he talked. All along I thought he’d win. The police will be happy. The armed forces will be happy. The people fighting terrorists will be happy. And already two companies aren’t going to leave, one in Kentucky and one in Indiana, and he’s not even in yet. And now this phoney recount that he has to wait for.
“But he’s an ordinary guy off the street; that’s what I liked about him. Sure, he’s crazy, but you’ve got to be crazy to be good.”
