A Recent Autism Experience: I Think Literally

So the internet has blown up about this fake Time mag cover that Trump, AKA Cheeto Devil, has hanging in a few of his golf clubs.

When I first heard then read the story, I was confused, why does he have these pictures hanging from his (bag of) golf clubs?

In an effort to logically think through this conundrum, I’m trying to mentally picture a bag of golf clubs with a laminated card or cards of this fake photo hanging from the bag and / or individual clubs. But, how would a small hanging laminated card on a golf club affect the golf swing, trajectory of the ball, etc, etc. No, maybe just hanging off his bag? Then, it dawned on me that “clubs,” has different meanings depending on context.

Right, context. Where Aspie logic, based on literalness, dies a painful figurative death.
