Chuckling ghost of Janey Godley throws another Trump golf ball into the lake

Godley, who was famous for her anti-Trump signs and humorous digs at the tangerine grope-machine, died last year after a long battle with Ovarian cancer and a longer, verbal battle with a kind of walking tumour known as President Donald J Trump.

“Trump thought it was funny to brag about grabbing women by the pussy,” confirmed Godley’s ghost, taking a long run-up to hoof Trump’s golf ball deep into the lake on the 5th hole during Trump’s first round of golf this weekend.

“Well, let’s see how hard Captain Bone Spurs laughs about wading into the lake for the ninth time today. Look at him. He’s afraid to even get his feet wet. Sums up his whole stinkin’ life if you ask me.

“It’s a shame he can’t see the new sign I’ve made for him, but then I saw a ball land in front of me and Trump came waddling after it, and I suddenly understood why I was put back here today.

Her radio series on her cancer is still available on the BBC in the UK, though I don't know about elsewhere: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m001n1rj

(I see the sign does have "2018" on it, so must be from a later protest. And that 2016 report doesn't have "cunt" in it, though she did talk about rape, and this video does say she had signs with it in 2016. She was forthright about him for a long time, anyway.)
