    Trump hits back at PGA with ominous warning: ‘If I become your president, this stuff is all going to stop’

    SACRAMENTO — Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump swung back hard at the PGA Tour on Wednesday for moving a golf tournament from his course in Miami to Mexico, and he sounded an ominous warning about how he would respond to such decisions as president.

    For Trump, it marked the latest instance of singling out a person, institution or industry he claimed was menacing him unjustly. It also raised new questions about how far he would be willing to go as president to punish his foes. Last week, Trump criticized U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel — who is hearing a fraud case against now-defunct Trump University — with deeply personal and racially tinged language. In a combative news conference Tuesday, Trump said that as president, he would not back down from fierce criticism of journalists he thinks are covering him unfairly.

    The PGA Tour announced Wednesday that it was moving a tour date of its elite World Golf Championships from South Florida to Mexico City, beginning in 2017.

    "Can you believe it?" Trump asked the crowd at a rally here Wednesday evening. "Think of it: They moved the PGA Tour — moved the World Golf Championship — from Miami, where they're furious, to Mexico City. Not good."

    He continued: "But that's okay. Folks, it's all going to be settled, you vote for Donald Trump as president. If I become your president, this stuff is all going to stop."

    Trump University lawsuit and now one of his golf courses losing a tournament, Trumps reason for running for president seems to be to take care of his business interests.

    Donald Trump is like Ben Stiller in Happy Gilmore.

    Once a few duffers get beheaded, the PGA will come crawling back on it's grass-stained knees.

    The only grass they will find, they won't waste on their knees. How do you play golf in Mexico? Why don't they move it to the Sahara Desert?

    Yeah no shit right? Fuck Mexico City, that country is just unsafe. Rollin' back from Playa on a shuttle showed me enough of what they expect to go on there.

    The PGA is feeding Trump's narrative. They're cutting off their noses to spite their faces. I don't get it.

    They're moving an event to Mexico? That giant sucking sound. PGA is boosting jobs in Mexico and killing jobs in Florida.

    They could have moved the event to any other course in the USA not owned by Trump. And should have, IMO.

    If Trump wanted the tournament to remain at his golf course he could have sponsored it himself.

    They should built the wall wide enough so Nascar can race on top of it. No turns, just straight racing!
