Trump chumped: Somebody swiped The Donald's golf cart
So, any openings for a golf-course employee who was gainfully employed at Trump National Golf Club-Bedminster in New Jersey until yesterday?
On the very first day of the U.S. Junior Amateur and U.S. Girls' Junior competitions at the course that bears his name, Donald Trump was surveying the scene in his trademark No. 13 golf cart. He parked the cart, wandered around a bit, only to find that his cart was ...
... gone. Gone! Someone had made off with The Donald's cart! And with his cell phone -- perhaps the single most important piece of electronic hardware this side of the President's nuclear football -- still inside! Heads will roll for this!
"Mr. Trump was not happy," one volunteer told the New Jersey Star-Ledger, in what must qualify as the understatement of 2009.
Fortunately (or unfortunately, for the story's sake), the cart wasn't swiped by some marauding gang of golf-cart thieves; it appears to be a simple case of someone grabbing the wrong -- very, very wrong -- ride.
After a brief search, the cart was located and returned to Trump, cell phone apparently still intact. We haven't yet heard from the offending party ... and perhaps we never will.*

*-Any and all statements about Mr. Trump's management style are purely in jest. We are certain that the offending employee was simply given a verbal reprimand and asked to pay a bit more attention next time. Certain.
