Donald Trump warns his supporters: ‘No more golf’ if Bernie Sanders wins

Electing Bernie Sanders as president would lead to the end of golfing in the United States, according to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“We have to be progressive in our thinking,” Trump said during a campaign rally in Hilton Head, South Carolina. “When I say progressive I mean like smart. I’m not talking progressive like a Bernie Sanders would say.”

“This guy wants to tax you — think of it — this guy wants to raise your taxes to 90 percent,” he continued. “No, no, think. You’ll have to move out — I love this area by the way, I’ve been here many times. Great golfing area, right? We love it. No more golf — no more golf. You won’t have any golf any more. You won’t have any money left to be golfing.”

It’s not the first time Trump has accused Sanders of wanting to raise taxes to 90 percent — a claim that PolitiFact has rated as “Pants on Fire” in October. The fact-checking website said “Sanders has never explicitly proposed a 90 percent tax rate for billionaires, let alone applying that rate across the board.”

You know, I heard that Bernie Sanders is a card carrying member of ISIS.

I don't know if it's 100% true, but I heard it, and I tend to believe it.

I doubt that Donald's supporters are asking for any proof, nor do they care if there is any. If the Donald says Bernie wants a 90% tax rate, it's true.

My son and I were just talking about this the other day. We'd love to hear his take on the current election cycle. Nobody could cut right to the crux of political hypocrisy like George. RIP, man.

would be progressive, so the 90 would only apply to a fairly small percent of the income of the wealthy. their income above xxx dollars, the rest would be taxed at incrementally lower rates.

you'd think a business whiz like trump would know that....
