Donald Trump Says Cops Who Shoot Civilians Are Like Golfers Who “Choke”
While appearing on Fox News the night before he was set to visit Kenosha, Wisconsin, in the aftermath of the police shooting of Jacob Blake, the President made a shocking comparison between officers using excessive force to golfers who “choke” while playing a game.

In an interview with the host Laura Ingraham, he said of police officers: “They choke. Just like in a golf tournament, they miss a 3-foot putt.” Ingraham then interjected, saying: “You’re not comparing it to golf. Because of course, that’s what the media would say.” He then added, “I’m saying people choke. People choke. And people are bad people. You have both. You have some bad people, and they choke.”
Before concluding he said,
“You could be a police officer for 15 years, and all of a sudden you’re confronted. You’ve got a quarter of a second to make a decision. If you don’t make the decision – and you’re wrong -you’re dead. People choke under those circumstances, and they make a bad decision.”
Trump was speaking in the aftermath of Kenosha police shooting Jacob Blake, an unarmed black man, who was shot seven times in the back. As we previously reported, as a result of the shooting, Blake, 29, has been left paralyzed. The officers involved in the shooting have all been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.
