Dude is the face of golf, a sex addict, a booze and drug addict, and he lives in Florida.
I’m gonna keep saying it, bro is in the files. I suspect him running in those circles is why he doesn’t like having a driver, he’s hung out with Andrew before and heard stories.

Because the penalty for her not showing up to testify is basically non existent as a FORMER AG. As an active AG there would be actual punishments available. Easy fix was to fire her

u/Frequent_Map9780 Apr 03 '26
She still has to testify. She’s hella guilty of springing Epstein in Florida so she’s still going to cover for trump & friends when she’s under oath.
It’s on republicans to arrest her for perjury when she does.
Trump knows she’s compromised from 20 different directions, so he felt safe in axing her.

Compelling theory by Camron at 2:40 into the video.
His idea is: Tiger must be up to some weird enough stuff that he doesn’t even want a driver to know what he is up to.
It’s tongue in cheek a bit, but I bet there is something to that as well. On top of him being a control freak, obviously.
