It’s my favorite time of the week on my blog. I love getting to answer a question or two on the state of our union. Let’s go to the mailbox.
Q: Heather from Portland asks: ” I love the blog. Hope you dump the Thunder and start doing the Trailblazers next season. Do you have any take on how Donald Trump turned out to be such a miserable human being?
A: “Thanks. We’ll have to see about the Thunder. Ostensibly since the domain is okcthunderground.com you would think I would somewhat need to write about the Oklahoma City Thunder on here from time to time even though it pains me watching Russell Westbrook play basketball.
As far as to how Donald Trump turned out this way. I have no idea how a human becomes this much of a deplorable. I wonder if a dog would even curl up next to him on a couch. Dogs have a sense about them in this regard. I’m not Dr. Ruth…but if I had to guess…maybe both of his parents belittled him as he was growing up and all of this lying is Trump’s never ending quest to build himself up for their approval. Maybe his mother teased him about his penis. I don’t know, but he has issues for sure. But given the sick times we live in…he’ll probably be re-elected.”
Q: Chipper from New Orleans asks: “I’m a big Trump fan. Your observations are way off on mainstream America. Trump is the best thing to happen to this country since Teddy Roosevelt. Just look at the jobs reports and GDP growth.”
A: “We just recorded our first ever trillion dollar budget deficit. We just set the record for our largest ever trade deficit at $981 billion dollars. We have witnessed not one single tangible improvement to our health care system which eventually ties into everything economically in this country as we try to figure out our $22 trillion dollar debt. It means nothing to increase GDP growth to 3.2% if you can’t manage the budget. My question to you would be how much has the average American’s net worth increased in relation to their share of the debt.?”
Q: Joanie from Lawrence, Kansas asks: ” Do you think Tiger will win the PGA?”
A: “No. His game is not tailored for that course given the way Tiger has had to change his game. I would think Tiger’s best chances to win some additional majors will come at the Masters and perhaps at the British Open. Brooks Koepka is an animal—Tiger is fortunate he won the Masters.”
Q: Ben from Boston asks: ” I love the fact someone in Oklahoma loves the Bruins. Do you think they win the Cup?”
A: “I think they do win the Cup if Rask doesn’t come apart. The Bruins will score goals. I’m not concerned about their offense. It will be about Tuukka Rask in net.”
Thanks for the great questions. Let’s Go Boston Bruins!
