Donald Trump "Understands" Tiger Woods

Hey, even the biggest monsters in the world have their fan club. And now that Jesse James has come out as our nation's newest philandering obsession (and is a Nazi, to boot!), celebrities are tentatively coming around on Tiger Woods. Not that they condone what (or who) he's done, but mere mortals don't understand what it's like to have the enormous pressure of fame weighing down on you. But you know who does understand? Donald Trump.
Says Trump to the tabloids:
“Well Tiger's a friend of mine,” Trump told OK!. “I really like Tiger a lot. I know Tiger. I think I understand Tiger. He’s been through a lot. I really think that there’s tremendous pressure you wouldn’t understand from the world of golf, but this tremendous pressure that’s being put on Tiger, if he can circumvent that pressure he’s going to do fantastically during the masters.”
He added, “I tell you, he has always handled pressure well but nobody’s ever had this kind of pressure. He’s going to have Super Bowl type ratings.”
We know this is just a bid to get Woods on the Celebrity Apprentice, but a Tiger can't just change his hairpiece, Mr. Trump. All is not forgiven, except in celebrity never-neverland of no consequences.

Woods is just another overpaid and overhyped celebrity loser who depends on television advertising clients for his continued success. There's no doubt his law firms are busily leeching themselves onto the pantlegs of his former sponsors to get more of the action.
Pressure? Being a GOLF celebrity? Really? If he can't handle the pressure of golf, I suppose it's a good thing that he's not a surgeon, huh? "My patient is dying! The stress! I need head now, nurse! I mean.... scalpel."
