Trump, who played first base, wrote that âbeing a pro was in the equationâ until he attended a tryout with âanother young kid named Willie McCovey.â
Willie McCovey is 7 years older than Trump. Willie McCoveyâs first year in the major leagues was at 21, when Trump was 14.
How did this happen?
I would add one year before Trump claimed he got the game winning home run against a school they dig not play for two years, Willie McCovey led the league in Homeruns.
Narrator: He was ly⌠awww fuck it.

I would like to see reporters go full-on patronizing-a-child-telling-a-fib response to one of Trumpâs Sir stories. âOoooo, and then what did you do, Donny?! Wow! That was really brave, what a big brave boy you were!â

Which would be hilarious.
lol - I was the best pitcher on one of the best teams in the state my senior year and I didnât get a sniff from scouts or colleges. I would imagine pro teams werenât lining up to sign Trump.
Though heâs right in that there really wasnât money in pro sports back then. My grandfather turned down a minor-league deal because it didnât pay well.
Donald Trump has been accused of personally causing the deaths of 40,000 Americans through his ârecklessâ handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, in a new website launched on Wednesday under the provocative title Trump Death Clock.
The website, created by independent film-maker Eugene Jarecki, is a conscious echo of the National Debt Clock which since 1989 has given a running score near Times Square in Manhattan of total US borrowing. The Trump Death Clock extends the idea dramatically by providing a tracker measured not in dollars but in lives allegedly lost by the presidentâs own inept actions.
âI am seeking accountability for reckless leadership,â Jarecki told the Guardian. âWe have meticulously isolated just that portion of the US death toll where one can see a specific line between the presidentâs decisions and actions and the loss of life.â
Twitter thread worth reading.
Outlines how trump supporters in Arizona were harassing reporters at the official White House visit.
Even some good video of Trumpâs whack job supporters.

Fucking scary, man
Brad Parscale, whom Trump named to run his 2020 effort in early 2018, has already collected $38.9 million through his companies from Trumpâs various reelection committees between January 2017 and the end of March, according to a HuffPost analysis of Federal Election Commission filings.
For Parscale, who just a few years ago was designing websites in San Antonio for Trumpâs properties, among other clients, the sudden wealth has afforded him a $2.4 million waterfront house in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a pair of million-dollar condos, a brand new $400,000 boat, and another half-million dollars in luxury cars, including a Range Rover and a Ferrari.
âThis thing has been a large criminal enterprise. Itâs like that scene in the âGoodfellasâ after the heist,â said Republican consultant Stuart Stevens, a veteran of the George W. Bush and Mitt Romney presidential campaigns. âDishing out furs to mob bossesâ girlfriends and wives.â

At least when Donald sues him there will be something worth taking?

The sleaze around these campaign / lobbying types is unreal, you need a shower just reading about it. Manafort is exceptional only in his stupidity, the rest of these guys are just as scummy but manage to file tax returns.
