Wow, such a great and totally legit victory, almost as amazing as trump giving himself two golf championship trophies at his own golf club the other day.

That was so laughable. If you ask me he should introduce an orange winners jacket to go alongside his trophies, like pro golf does with the green jackets.

In fact, he could go one better, introduce an orange jumpsuit. Could be quite the fashion statement...
