    1. *I know we have bigger problems with the almost 80 year old cheating rapist grifter with his finger on the button of nuclear annihilation, but this is a great example of the shameless sycophantic efforts of his handlers to flatter him, and his endless psychopathic need to be flattered*

      „The White House on Saturday posted President [Donald Trump](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/donald-trump)’s winning [golf](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/golf) score from a tournament at his [New Jersey](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/new-jersey) golf club, boasting about his win just days after he was accused of cheating on another course.“

      “Winning on and off the course,” the official [White House Instagram page wrote](https://www.instagram.com/p/DM3mH0apcMC/), showing the final score card from the 2025 Men’s Senior Club Championship tournament at Trump National in [Bedminster](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/bedminster).“

      „At the top of the card was Trump’s gross score of 69 – representing the number of golf strokes the president took on each hole in the tournament. Adjusted with his handicap, the numerical measure of how well a person golfs by either adding or deducting strokes from the gross score, Trump’s net score was 67.“

      „The score means the president has a handicap of around 2, which is considered very impressive for a non-professional golfer.“

      „But a number of commenters on the Instagram post did not appear excited about the president’s score, many joking that just last week, reports [accused Trump of cheating on his golf course in Scotland.](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-video-golf-cheating-scotland-b2796977.html)“

      „Yo we saw the video from Scotland last week, he just throws the ball where he wants it and makes up a score,” one commenter wrote.“

      „“I mean yeah, I’d win too if my caddy was dropping balls on the course for me,” another Instagram user wrote on the post.“

      „Allegations that Trump cheats at golf [date back to before his first term](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-golf-cheat-secret-service-book-rick-reilly-a8885901.html).“

      „Some have accused him of using his caddies or Secret Service detail to move his ball. Others claim the president himself has kicked his ball to make it easier to hit. Trump has always denied the allegations.“

      „The cheating allegations have been so rampant that one sports writer, Rick Reilly, even wrote an entire book on it, titled *Commander in Cheat*.“

      „In response to the president’s recent win, [Reilly wrote on X](https://x.com/ReillyRick/status/1952013774317375774), “The 4 guys in Trump’s group finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th. Trump has a magic pencil. #CommanderInCheat”

    2. Trump, did you sell children to Epstein’s network? Many people are saying it. 

    3. Accused? Nope. He did in fact cheat in Scotland and there is video to back it up…..

    4. AnAcctWithoutPurpose on

      I’m sure the Americans are all eagerly waiting for the announcement about his ~~golf scores.~~ involvement on Epstein Island and how many women he assaulted.

    5. Jeffrey_C_Wheaties on

      I DONT CARE ABOUT GOLF, he can cheat all he wants while playing a game against other rich fucks. Release the files.

    6. WardenEdgewise on

      Trump was NOT “accused” of cheating. We all watched him cheating. We saw it with our own eyes. Trump CHEATED at golf. There is no accusation. Only the facts.

    7. WallNumerous3230 on

      Accused? It was on video.

      Also, who cares?

      Where are the Epstein files?

    8. basketballsteven on

      He wasn’t „accused“ of anything people saw him cheat on video. Unambiguous video.

    9. Huckleberry199 on

      He wasn’t “ accused” of cheating, he was shown cheating, which he does every round he plays.

      The last golfer to shoot his age on the pga tour was one of the greatest golfers of all time… Arnold Palmer. Shot a 71 at 71 years of age. You’re telling me that a 79 year old, non-professional golfer is shooting 69? Apparently on a regular basis? Get the fuck out of here with that absolute bullshit.

    11. Babylon4All on

      Accused?! There’s literally video of it happening. 

      Title needs to be revised to „After trump was caught cheating on his own golf course.“

    12. Original-Birthday149 on

      Trump has never cheated at golf. The video clearly shows the caddy was the one who cheated. He’s also a Democrat and has since been demoted to head of all official golf scores around the world.

      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    13. GangStalkingTheory on

      What a loser.

      Who TF cares about golf?

      Only boomers and frat bros play that dumb game.

    14. JayOnSilverHill on

      How about a live round of golf, televised, to prove how good he is? Funny how the only live shots of him playing are taken surreptitiously, and show that not only does he cheat, but he cheats because he sucks.

    15. cat_0_the_canals on

      ACCUSED??!! it’s on video. Blatant cheating. Most of this turds offenses are on video.

    16. NUMBerONEisFIRST on

      Golf trips for Trump cost the tax payers more than $10 million for just 1 month.

      Most are on Trump properties.

      Let that sink in.
      Getting paid to golf.
      By us.

    17. He hacked the shit out of that course, guaranteed! Dildler Donald can’t stay focused with everyone calling him a child fucker.

      It’s that time again to bring up Rick Reilly and his anecdotes about Trump cheating at golf.

      Rick Reilly is a sportswriter, author and well known golfer who has had the misfortune (and the amusement) of sharing the fairway with Trump.

      He even wrote a book about it titled, „Commander in Cheat.“

      In the book he describes his experience playing golf with Trump and details the various ways that Trump cheats on the golf course.

      He’s also a pretty silly dude.

      > “I’ve always said golf is like bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a guy,” Reilly joked during his appearance. “And what it reveals about this guy is that he cannot lose. He has to win and he will do anything to cheat.”

      > „And I know because I played golf with him and he took seven mulligans. He took a ‚give me chip-in.‘ I’ve never even heard of a ‚give me chip-in,'“ he added.

      Reilly describes how Trump racks up tournament wins at events he’s not even present for—and how Trump often claims to have won a tournament even though he wasn’t “in the state when the tournament [was] played.“

      > “What he does [is] he just calls in and goes, ‘I usually beat that guy, give me the trophy,’” Reilly alleged.

      He continues:

      > “And I know this because when I play with him, he goes, ‘You know what I do to win these championships, don’t ya?’ and I go, ‘Please tell me. Give it to me.’ And he goes, ‘Anytime I buy a new course, I play the first round all by myself and then I declare myself the club champion,’” Reilly continued. “So that’s what kind of guy this is.”

      Trump will also „win“ championships by using an alleged score from a round of golf he played earlier in the week instead of actually participating in the current game.

      Reilly also says that Trump cheats by constantly moving the ball to a better position and by taking extra strokes without counting them. Reilly tells stories of Trump flagrantly bending the rules of golf, kicking his ball back onto the fairway, and outright lying about his scores.

      Trump has even reportedly earned himself the nickname „Pele“ due to his tendency to kick golf balls around.

      In his book, Reilly also tells a story about how Trump recorded a „win“ by playing a round against his own wife; publicly announcing it as a victory. And this is despite reports that Melania was playing quite well at the time.

      On a side note, this resembles a previously reported incident when Trump was on a ski trip in Aspen with his then wife—Ivana Trump.

      Ivana is apparently a much better skier than him, and when she passed him on the slopes, he got so aggravated that he took off his skis and walked off the trail in frustration.

      > he could not take it, that I could do something better than him, Ivana recalled.

      Onlookers even described Trump at the time as „shivering“ with anger, and not from the cold.

      Now, when it comes to Trump’s *actual* game, Reilly says:

      > Trump has “never won a championship at a course he doesn’t own and operate” despite claiming that he’s won 23. The author [Reilly] said Trump has played at stricter courses like Pebble Beach and Lake Tahoe and has never been in “the top half.”

      He has some silly anecdotes too, like how Trump always uses a „turbo-charged golf cart that goes three times as fast“ as his opponents so he can have time to move the balls around before his competitors catch up.

      Trump is also known infamously for driving his golf cart onto the greens, which is a major breach of protocol.

      Reilly also said this:

      > “One time in L.A. he was playing $50 a hole with these three guys. He hits it in the pond. They see the splash. By the time they get there, [the ball’s] in the middle of the fairway, and they’re like, ‘What the f— Donald,’ and then he goes, ‘It must have been the tide,’” Reilly shared.

      In another incident, Trump was seen visibly throwing broadcaster Mike Tirico’s ball off the green, claiming it was an „accident.“

      Reilly also talks about what he calls „the Trump bump“ where Trump tries to subtly move his golf ball to a better position when he believes no one is looking. But this move has become notoriously recognized among golfers who have played with him.

      One pretty notable anecdote from Reilly’s book includes an incident where Trump cheated against a 12 year old boy during a *charity golf event*.

      Ted Virtue, who is a professional golfer, decided it would be fun to bring his kid with him to play at the event, but Trump put an end to the fun after behaving more like a child than the literal child he was competing against.

      Apparently, during their round, Trump hit his ball into the water on the 16th hole, but Trump’s caddy—likely at the behest of Trump—put the ball next to the hole when they reached the green; claiming it was Trump’s ball. However, when Virtue’s son recognized the ball as his own, Trump dismissed the boy and went on to win the match.

      Trump has also cheated against professional players like Tiger Woods. Reilly says that when he asks these other professionals about it, they almost always answer something to the effect of, „I wanted my own story about Trump cheating.“

      [here](https://youtu.be/wWLj2-a6FLI?si=aoUQ6IzgxjkOxBhz) are a [couple](https://youtu.be/LIiaFMOfbwY?si=-cvuvImnLJML1gXe) of interesting and amusing videos of Reilly talking more in depth about it all.

      This may all seem rather ridiculous, but don’t let it detract from the underlying theme here, one that Reilly himself expands on, and a disturbing truth about Trump’s nature as a person:

      > „He exaggerates his golf scores and his handicap for the same reason he exaggerates everything. He has to. He exhibits all the traits of a narcissistic personality disorder. People with his disorder have no conscience about it. He has no sense of morality about things. He lacks empathy towards others. He’s a very ill man. He doesn’t get that other people have rights and feelings. Other people just don’t matter to him.“
