Trump uses Sam Snead Analogy to justify the plan for the catary level

This is the parable of the president and the putt.

It was on Monday morning in Washington and President Trump was in the Roosevelt area of ​​the White House and signed another executive order before he exposed to the Middle East after his expedition. Over the weekend, messages had broken through his plan to accept an aircraft of 400 million US dollars from Qatar to use them as Air Force One. Questions were available.

This luxurious gift from the Qataris presented all kinds of concerns – ethically, legally, logistically, mechanical. There was also the fact that Mr. Trump Katar once described as the “donor of terrorism at a very high level”. Even some of his favorite supporters were worried. “We cannot accept a $ 400 million gift from jihadists in suits,” wrote Laura Loomer, an extreme right-wing activist whose council occasionally observed the president on social media. “This will really be a stain on the administrator if this is true.”

Mr. Trump didn't have any of it.

“You give us a free jet,” he said. “I could say: 'No, no, no, don't give us, I would like to pay you a billion or $ 400 million, or whatever it is. Or, I could say:' Thank you very much. '”

He took a break. Something had come to his mind. All of this treasure about the plane reminded him of something he heard and never forgotten. It was really just a little thing, and he almost said it as a side. But it said so much about Mr. Trump and the way he sees the world.

“There was an old golfer named Sam Snead,” he said. “Have you ever heard of him?”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Dr. Mehmet Oz, the chief of staff Susie Wiles and a few other presidential helpers in the room looked up at her boss and was maybe not sure where to go.

The old Sam Snead “had a motto,” drum away. “If you give you a putt, you say: 'Thank you very much.' You take your ball and go to the next hole.
