If you had to guess the personality traits that defined Donald Trump’s longtime golf caddie, would things like mild-mannered, reasonable, or housebroken be on the list? Of course they wouldn’t. We’re talking about a guy who prizes loyalty above all else, who flies off the handle at the slightest provocation—real or imagined—and who surrounds himself with
criminals,
slumlords,
massage parlor enthusiasts, and at least one guy who’s said he would do “anything” for him,
including kill a man. So, really,
this all checks out:
A.J. (who asked that I not use his last name in my book) is so loyal that if someone criticizes Trump, he’ll fight him—and has. One day, when the 2017 Senior PGA Championship was being held at Trump Washington, he overhead one of the Tour pro’s caddies—Brian “Sully” Sullivan—dissing Trump.
“He was running his mouth, sir,” says A.J., who calls everybody “sir” or “ma’am.” “Yellin’ about Mr. Trump. He was sayin’ to somebody, ‘Don’t tell me how I have to feel about him! I hate that motherf-----!’”
A.J. says he came up on Sully from behind and put him in a full military choke hold, yelling, “Now, you listen to me, f-----! You’re not gonna come to Mr. Trump’s course and eat Mr. Trump’s food and then use the word ‘hate’ about my president. I won’t have it, you got me?”
