EVEN DUBYA KNEW that being seen on the golf course while sending soldiers to die added up to BAD F*CKING OPTICS.

A 2008 interview with former President George W. Bush has resurfaced after President Donald Trump chose to play a round of golf amid the Iran-Israel-U.S. war.

In a May 2008 White House interview with Politico, Bush said he decided to quit golf after the August 2003 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, which killed the top U.N. official in Iraq – Sergio Vieira de Mello.

“I remember when de Mello, who was at the U.N., got killed in Baghdad as a result of these murderers taking this good man’s life,” he told the outlet. “I was playing golf — I think I was in central Texas — and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, ‘It’s just not worth it anymore to do.’ ”

“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” he continued. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”

1. Now watch this drive....

2. This administration likes to shove the optics in our face

They wanna make us eat it and like it. That’s the essence of a rapist and a bully.

3. Well, it's the impetus behind Trump's moron dance

He knows that people outside of the cult aren't fond of him. So, the moron dance basically rubs their noses in it.

It IS funny to me that when Musk did his drugged-out dancing prancing dipshit pogo-bouncing all over the stage at the MAGAt rally, Trump asked "What the hell is wrong with Elon?"

I guess it's because we are expected to simply witness the moron dance in a state of awe, but no one else is allowed to have a moron dance of their own.

5. Don't know why anybody would take seriously a man who tries to dance like that

7. Precisely!

4. The Fascist Felon doesn't give a sh!t.

He doesn't care about his own kids. He sure as hell doesn't care about sending other people's kids off to war.

6. Self awareness is not in tfg's playbook

He really doesn’t care

[Initech]

8. Never thought I'd defend W, but even he was more professional than the fucking asshole.

[Attilatheblond]

9. And he knew "some weird shit" when he heard it at Trump's first inagural

Things are bad when W can notice.

10. Well, as someone holding high office has been known to say,

“It’s not a good look.”

11. When is the last photo of him ACTUALLY golfing? Not riding a golf cart,

GOLFING.

I saw some recent shots of an old man riding in a golf cart. We do that all the time at the nursing home, let old guys have a ride on the golf cart. They love it. Keeps them happy and better behaved, easier to manage.
