While there are far more important and dark things he’s done than cheating at golf, the relentless, unapologetic and open cheating at golf could itself be all you need to know about his character.

Also think it’s funny how all of these “alpha” males allow themselves to constantly be steamrolled and bent over by this guy on the golf course.

For more on this, I highly recommend Rick Reilly's book Commander in Cheat. One thing he likes to do is tee off first, no matter whose honor it is (he'll say it's his honor always because it's his course), then before you can even stick a tee in the ground, his cart is halfway down the fairway so he can go "improve his lie."

Nice pun!

He doesn’t get it because his ego totally controls him, causing complete masking of any self-awareness...he might still be president if not for his ego and ego-extender twitter, imo

From the picture offered, it is obvious that Trump's WH physician, Ronny Jackson was as incompetent a doctor as he is currently as a House member.

We are reminded that Jackson's claim Trump is the picture of health is ludicrous in the reality readily seen of the Insurrectionist-In-Chief on the golf course.

It’s on YouTube for all to see. Bryson DeChambeau and Trump played from the ladies tees. Bryson has done this successfully three times. Tony Romo, and Garrett Clark, and Donald Trump. But, nobody has yet done better than 22 under. I’m still a 3 handicap golfer. I got lucky and shot three under today. I know golf. Been around it since I was 12 years old. Now, you get Nancy Pelosi, Kamala, Shumer,Biden, and you guys go out and see how well you do.

Trump is a very fine striker of the ball. His age is catching up to him, but, he still flies it thirty yards past anyone of his age group. His putting stroke is a pop stroke like most of the golfers of the 1960’s, and ‘70’s. It looks awful, but it seems effective. He’s like a lot of golfers. He’s good. But, not as good as he’d like to think he is. Still, on live camera, he, and Bryson DeChambeau teamed up yesterday and tied a YouTube scramble record from the front red tees for -22 under par for 18 holes!!! I see, and hear a lot of so-called journalists who couldn’t break a 100 on a real golf course. Still, they speaking “knowingly” about Trump’s golf game. Those of us who play all the time can see for ourselves. I’m positive he exaggerates his game. But, he is a strong, accurate striker of the golf ball. In other words, give the guy credit for something. Once, in your lifetime. And, keep on telling us how wonderful Biden was, and Kamala is going to be. We can see that for ourselves, too.

The only way a two man team shoots 22 under is with strokes. Otherwise you birdie every par 4 and par 3 hole and eagle all the par 5's. No two man team putts that well. Four pros playing member tees might shoot 22 under but that's no gimme.

I’m pretty sure Roger Stone had run him one time prior to his 2016 run. If only his first had been his last. #BeBetterAmerica
