Trump didn't want to build golf course in Africa because he feared getting mauled by lions

[left-of-center2012]

'Peril', the new book by reporters Robert Costa and Bob Woodward, has revealed a slew of bizarre anecdotes about former President Donald Trump. One detail in 'Peril' described Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Trump playing golf with Gary Player, an 85-year-old South African winner of major tournaments.

Player was trying to help Trump with his swing. Trump was using a big club and an erratic swing. Player tried to urge more "control" and "toning it down, swinging less extravagantly." Player suggested that he would build a golf resort in Africa, but the president made it clear he was concerned about being eaten by lions.

"What happens, Gary, when two lions look out and say, 'You know, that's a pretty thick guy. I'd like to eat him. Let's go eat him,' " Trump joked.

"Well, they've got fences and stuff," Player explained.

"You mean they can't climb over a fence?" Trump asked according to the book.

6. Lions wouldn't eat him. Cats don't like greasy, rotten meat.

9. They'd just kill him.

Then they'd rub and roll around on his carcass, to hide their own scents with Trump's unusual odor of trans fats and preservatives from McDonald's.

Then the wild dogs, hyenas and other animals would later do the same.

[Ocelot II]

10. Or bury him, like cats do when they are disgusted by their food.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

11. Yeah, then finsishing the task by turning around and kicking their rear paws...

... towards the site of the burial, before lumbering off.

14. So he plays golf in Florida???

https://www.enjuris.com/blog/fl/alligators-attacks/

Florida alligator bite statistics date back to 1948, ranging around three major bites per year. The chance of someone being attacked is one in 3.2 million. The worst years for fatalities were 2001 and 2006, with three people dying each of those years from Florida alligator attacks. And there have only been 23 fatalities between 1948 and 2016. There have even been stretches during which no fatal attacks by alligators occurred in Florida.

Twenty-three fatalities is admittedly a small number, but that doesn’t mean the opportunities for alligators to attack don’t present themselves. This is because Florida has capitalized on alligators as part of the state’s identity, pulling them into the spotlight far more often than they would be on their own.

Alligators feature in Florida’s marketing efforts as school mascots, and as part of tourist attractions like alligator wrestling, viewing in airboat tours and feeding. Plenty of residents have stories to tell (such as encounters with Chubbs, the enormous mascot who roams the Buffalo Creek Golf Course) or have family traditions like feeding baby alligators pieces of hotdog for $2.
