I was a caddy during the summers in High School at a pretty fancy club in Old Greenwich Ct. I was a snarky wise ass kid from the Bronx and caddied for a one of the NY Rangers. He seemed to like my style. He and was a snarky wise ass too. And I was hockey player in high school so we got along.
He was going to play in a celebrity Pro-am at Westchester Country Club and one of the other celebrities was Donald Trump. The two months leading up to the event every single member of the club – which was full of rich assholes – told him to not do business with Trump if he asked. Every single one of them warned my guy about Trump. They all said he was a cheat and would rip you off if he got even half a chance.
Trump was in the foursome behind ours and the golf was slow so my guy and he met up on the tee. The caddies were supposed to stay distant but my guy always asked me to stay close so I could see things and we could make jokes about things and people later.
Trump sucked up to him because he was a famous athlete. He took a look at me and said “Is this your caddy – well he’ll do alright – he has the right uniform.”
That was racist code for I will do alright because I am white. It was not the first time I heard that on the golf courses.
I went to college and stopped caddying and travelled all over the country and ended up find what seemed like a nice place to settle down and started working in tech.
Decades later – When Trump came into politics – I couldn’t believe that the did as well as he did. I guess more people need to caddy when they are younger and see the true nature of old white men when they relax during slow golf on the tees.
I loved the “Bush’s Last Day” bumper stickers back in the day and bought Trumps-Last-Day.com years ago waiting for the right moment. Seeing the message – THAT IT WILL END – eased my mind during the Bush Administration. And I hope that these will do the same for you – and every one who sees them.
I am doing this as a drop-shipping thing for right now but once I sell enough and figure out what type of snarky saying people want most I can buy in bulk and ship out of my garage. I went through some steps to make sure my name can’t be found from this. I have a LTD company backing this project. I did a test run last year and my name was on the thing and I got several death threats and I can’t put the wife and kids through that.
Every cent made from this will be put to setting up a fast bulk shipping operation, as well as donating to local non-profits. The humane society and operations dedicated to supporting small local businesses are where any extra dollars go for me.
