    He couldn’t make money with a casino and he can’t golf. Just another populist with a cult following.

    Supreme Leader Trump plays very well actually. He was aiming for the bonus hole!

    “Trump doesn’t just cheat at golf,” Reilly wrote. "He throws it, boots it, and moves it. He lies about his lies. He fudges and foozles and fluffs. At Winged Foot, where Trump is a member, the caddies got so used to seeing him kick his ball back onto the fairway they came up with a nickname for him: ‘Pele.’”

    Just ask members of Trump International West Palm Beach who arrived for the final round of their Senior Club Championship on Jan. 22 only to find Trump’s name at the top of the leaderboard … when he didn’t play the first round.

    Ted Virtue, founder and CEO of MidOcean Partners, a New York-based alternative asset management firm, won the club championship at West Palm Beach when Trump was president. At the time, Trump was in Singapore and missed the event.

    Here is the story Reilly told and was also reported on Golf.com.

    Trump sees Virtue on the back nine of the course one day and tells him he didn’t really win the club championship, "because I was out of town.” So he tells Virtue they will start there and play to see who the real champion is. Virtue has no choice.

    “Apparently, they get to a hole with a big pond in front of the green,” Reilly said. "Both Ted and his son hit the ball on the green, but Trump hits his in the water. By the time they get to the hole, though, Trump is lining up the son’s ball. Only now it’s his ball and the caddie has switched it.

    “The son is like, ‘That’s my ball!’ But Trump’s caddie goes, ‘No, this is the president’s ball; your ball went in the water.’ … Trump makes that putt, and wins 1-up.”

      The real rich thing about trump cheating at golf… Is that golf is a game of personal development. It’s downright poetic that he is both bad at it (no shame there really) and cheats/lies about it rather than put in the time or effort in his 78+ years to get better at it. That really shows what kind of a person he is.

        My grandad, a Trump voter, has several times in the past talked about how golf is like life: it doesn’t matter if the sun was in your eyes, or a dog barked in the middle of your swing, or a sudden breeze pushed your drive off target, all that matters at the end of the day is the number you put in that little box, no excuses. The irony is lost on him.

          Well, he meant " the little number, and the big number of economic troubles the liberals, Biden, globalists and illegal Mexican drug cartels, wrote over your number in the box, even though you were writing the best number, perhaps even, perhaps, many people you know are saying it. Lower number. Lower. The lowest number you’ve ever heard of. It’s the lowest number since the last time I wrote a low number. Ask Sean Hannity about it. Why won’t anyone ask Sean…loooow, I like like low number, you like low numbers? I like 'em low! I like low numbers when they aren’t supposed to be high. Lower good numbers, lower is better, just like in women, when women’s numbers are lower, unless they are tens, but even then that is a pretty good low number for me. Democrats hate my low numbers, and my high num…frankly, I didn’t want to say it, they hate any number from me."

          Or something like that.

    I’m surprised someone is able to get a camera in to look at the president…I would’ve thought that would be more controlled

      What exactly is the difference between north korea and america again? Fat people? In other countries the president or equivalent goes to work by bicycle, train or drives a car, like a human being

      He boast about his excellent relationship with Kim Jong-Un, it’s understandable that your friends and their approach to “personal greatness” would rub off on you after a while 😁

      Supreme Leader Trump even scored 36 hole-in-ones, because he is twice as good as the best golfer in the world.

    I’ve had some shitty jobs, but following a geriatric obese man huff and puff his way around a golf course only for him to be horrible at it. I’d let the shooter fire first then make a move.

    Definitely worth the millions of tax payers dollars. And this guy definitely just won a tournament on his own course fair and square a month ago, I’m sure. Our Dear Leader.
