Trump driving his golf cart all over the green really just says it all

There's gotta be a metaphor in here somewhere, if we could only find it.

Golf etiquette says you don't drive a golf cart near the putting green -- MUCH LESS ALL OVER IT. Among other reasons, this is to protect the delicate turf as a playing surface everyone can enjoy. The golden rule and so forth.

(Plus, walking 30 feet shouldn't be that hard.)

But here's Donald Trump, damn near doing donuts on what is most definitely a putting green.

Hm. Interesting.

Is he clueless? Or just that arrogant? Either way, there's gotta be a metaphor in here somewhere. If we could only find it.

The video was reportedly captured by a Twitter user at Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey -- further proof that our golfer-in-chief should know better.
