Dear Michael,As you know, I have been a tremendous supporter of women's golf. When others wanted nothing to do with it, and many thought that the LPGA tour was a thing of the past and had absolutely no future, I stuck with the tour and with the ladies, many of whom I have gotten to know and respect—not only for their great talent but for being wonderful people. I defended the LPGA Tour for years. In many cases, because all of my seventeen clubs are very successful (with most of them being high end private), I had enormous pushback from my members. I would, and do, allow LPGA players to use and practice at my facilities, free of charge, with members not being thrilled. The good news is that last week, prior to the immense support I am now getting for being right on the issue of illegal immigration, many of the women came to my defense. Natalie Gulbis, Suzann Pettersen and others were wonderful in stating the good I have done for women's golf. Their words of support were very much appreciated by me.Unfortunately, their Commissioner – you—who I do not even know, put out a nasty statement "At the current time, plans are to continue to stage the RICOH Women's British Open at Turnberry. With just three weeks until the championship, a change in venue for this prestigious major simply isn't feasible without significantly diminishing the event. By no means, however, does this decision suggest support for Mr. Trump's comments" (which have proven correct). You never called me to tell me this, as common decency would have dictated, but rather just put it out to the media. As you have heard, and as Univision and NBC are finding out, I am a "plus 5" at contracts. You have an absolutely binding contract to play the great Turnberry Ailsa course but, based on your rude comment to the press, please let this letter serve to represent that, subject to a conversation with me on the details, I would be willing to let you play the Women's British Open, in two weeks, at another course rather than magnificent Turnberry (which I own). I think you have done an extraordinary disservice to women's golf, but in no way will that diminish my respect for the women on the LPGA tour or their great golfing talent. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss my releasing the LPGA from its obligations under the contract. Obviously, you will have to move quickly!Sincerely, Donald J. Trump.P.S. Apparently, the American public disagrees with you in that I have just gone to #1 and #2 in the polls.
Dan Carlin did a podcast with a guy who is running a PAC called Wolf-Pac specifically trying to get an amendment to get rid of the corporatation= a person and revise contribution laws. I am all for it.Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
It's so adorable how much JD hates unions

I don't believe in media conspiracies, but if I did, I would wonder whether or not the rise of Trump is actually encouraged/facilitated by Democratic agents.

I was going to say the same thing about Walker. Insidery types are guessin' that the Obama administration is purposely attacking Scott Walker because they know that anyone Barry attacks will win huge support from the most losery conservatives and it will drain the GOP base. Giving Trump early attention does the same thing.
i want to see sanders and trump debate each other.
i'd actually consider trump if he was able to win election as governor of new york or get elected to the house or senate for a term or two. I mean surely you can see that someone with no political experience running the highest political office in the country is a recipe for absolute disaster right?
