What happens when an ex-president cares more about his golf game than the election? Chaos, that’s what. Donald Trump’s campaign is having trouble. His close team is worried because he isn’t focusing. They think his distractions are hurting their chances and causing big problems. While Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were out there winning over voters, where was Trump? On the golf course, perfecting his swing and complaining about how “unfair” the media is. Is this the leadership America needs?

A report from the Washington Post says Trump’s team asked him to stop playing golf and focus on his campaign. They were worried he was spending too much time on the golf course and thinking about the Democratic National Convention. They got him to swap his golf clubs for a microphone. But instead of discussing important issues, Trump used his speeches to attack Kamala Harris.

It looks like Trump’s biggest concern wasn’t the country’s future but that the Democrats were getting all the attention. He didn’t like being outshined by Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Instead of working on real solutions for Americans’ problems, he chose to focus on throwing insults and attacking them. His campaign seemed more about name-calling than solving issues. But can using insults and attacking others really help him win the election?

The reality is, Trump’s campaign is getting more chaotic. His team is having a hard time keeping him focused, and the media is paying attention. This could be a big problem for Republicans. They might need to come up with a backup plan because, if things don’t change, Trump might end up holding his next press conference from the golf course, with his main achievement being a great putt. So, what’s next? More golfing or actual leadership? At this rate, it’s anyone’s guess.
