McIlroy continued, unprompted, by saying Trump has tried to politicize the pandemic, using as an example Trump claiming the U.S. has administered the most tests for the new coronavirus than any other nation.
“Like it’s a contest,” McIlroy said. “There’s some stuff that just is terrible. It’s not the way a leader should act. There is a bit of diplomacy that you need to show, and I just don’t think he’s showing that, especially in these times.”
The hosts, Scottish golf journalists Lawrence Donegan and John Huggan, asked McIlroy if he would play with Trump again.
“I don’t know if he’d want to play with me again after what I just said,” McIlroy said. “I know it’s very self-serving of me to say ‘No,’ and if I don’t, then it means I’m not putting myself in position to be under scrutiny and that I’m avoiding that.
“But no, I wouldn’t.”

He struts like a pimp and is not surprising. Pretty much how he called off his engagement to Caroline Wozniacki (tennis champion, classiest player on tour) weeks before the wedding, invitations are sent. She is playing in the French Open, gets a phone call from her betrothed, which lasts three minutes, telling her it’s over. Then weeks later he is seen making fun of her to Sergio Garcia, during a golf tournament. As far as I am concerned, she dodged a bullet.
“Caroline Woznacki played tennis in a lovely old arena at Roland Garros yesterday but would rather have been in Belfast, asking Rory McIlroy to his face why he left her this way. Except that the last time he called, less than a day after telling her how much he loved her, it was a three-minute conversation she thought was a joke.“

“But there seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States has become a place where former entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously —
After all, if an entertainer or athlete is paid a million or more a year, he/she/it knows he/she/it is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and sub literate every time he opens his mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.)”

And so the sinking fortunes of McElroy now begin.
“It’s not the way a leader should act,” he said.
Ignoring all the results of the “not way that a leader should act.”
Lightweight.
Wow, what a jerk.
Hey Rory.. Piss off ay? Your choice just cost the Left a lot of PGA votes.

McIlroy has learned to block out all outside opinions. The 18-time winner on the PGA Tour (with 14 wins on the European Tour), doesn’t focus on what anyone else thinks or says. It’s about him. “I can’t learn from other (opinions),” said McIlroy. “I need to learn from my own voice. It’s about me: ‘You can’t tell Rory what to do.’ I need to work it out myself.”

A golfer with principled purpose? So he is marching to his own drummer, eh? I think he just stepped on a big pile of gator poop.
Here’s to Koepka kicking his butt as Rory goes off into a few bunkers in the majors.
Smoked out another lib.
Clueless. President Trump keeps saying that because the narrative is that we aren't doing enough testing, less than other nations, etc. and blaming him for it. It isn't true. So he's not supposed to respond? "A contest"? Ridiculous.
Not that anyone actually asked him. Pro golfers giving their brain droppings are as important and significant as on-screen pretenders doing the same.
Wait for the Trump curse, Rory. It’s coming.
Rory, just shut up and drive....
Who is that doofuss?
He hasn’t won a major in 6 years. And majors are all that matter.
Winning the Airline Classic or the Insurance Company Open is meaningless, legacy wise.
Maybe Trump wouldn't let Sam Gamgee caddy for little Frodo here when they played, and that's what's got him cheesed off.
