Don’t read too much into Samuel L. Jackson playing golf with Donald Trump, the actor says in the January issue of United Airlines’ Rhapsody magazine.
“I would never say buddies,” Jackson said. “Or friends. I’ve golfed with him.
“But it’s funny — last week or so, I actually got a bill from Trump National Golf Club,” he added. “And I haven’t been there in four or five years, so I had my assistant call. They said it was for membership dues. And I said, ‘I’m not a member,’ and they said, ‘Yeah, you are — you have a member number.’ Apparently he’d made me a member of one of his golf clubs, and I didn’t even know it!”
He charged you without you knowing it, the magazine asked.
“Yeah!” Jackson said, laughing. “I’m not payin’ that! But no — I don’t know what The Don’s up to. Interesting character. More P.T. Barnum than politician. I don’t think he believes half the things he says.”
Asked who the better golfer was, Jackson said with a smile, “Oh, I am, for sure. I don’t cheat.”
