Trump praises Tiger Woods, Jim Brown for supporting him

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday praised two African-American athletes after they recently defended him in public.

Trump's public praise comes amid his continued disapproval of NFL players, most of them African-American, who kneel during the national anthem to protest police treatment of black men. It also follows his recent criticism of the NBA star LeBron James.

Tiger Woods, a friend of Trump's, called Sunday for respect for the office of the president. Woods and Trump have played golf together.

Asked how he'd respond to people who are intrigued by his "friendly relationship" with Trump, Woods said: "He's the president of the United States and you have to respect the office. And no matter who's in the office, you may like, dislike personality or the politics, but we all must respect the office."

I don't believe that an endorsement from either Woods or Brown amounts to much of anything considering their past legal issues.

Bet him and Trump can really exchange the stories about affairs. Wood's golf career is over,he just hasn't accepted it yet.

7. Woods didn't beat his wife.

His wife chased him with a 9 iron to cause the famous crash that started his downfall.

Both men are vile, serial cheaters, that is true.
