Donald Trump has been ruthlessly mocked after the President claimed he has won 38 club championships despite widespread scrutiny over his achievements on the golf course<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump has been compared to a “toddler” after he boasted that he has won 38 golf club championships.<\/p>\n

The President is never shy in bragging about his achievements in golf,<\/a> although there is widespread scrutiny over the legitimacy of Trump’s victories, which have taken place at Trump-owned courses. Among the doubters of Trump’s golfing prowess is author Rick Reilly, who wrote the 2019 book ‘Commander-in-Cheat’ about the President’s alleged antics on the golf course.<\/p>\n

Trump’s<\/a> supposed achievements were on the agenda once more as he spoke to service members on a Thanksgiving call from his Mar-a-Lago estate. The 79-year-old boasted about his golf skills and dropped some statistics that were inconsistent with previous claims.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve won 38 golf championships and I don\u2019t get to practice very much,” Trump said, having previously claimed he won 36 club championships. “I beat a 27-year-old kid\u2026 I\u2019ve won 38 of them, every one of them legitimately.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Trump then used the opportunity to take a shot at his predecessor, Joe Biden<\/a>. He said: \u201cA lot of people talk, but they can\u2019t play, like Biden. Biden can\u2019t hit a ball 30 yards.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m telling you, I looked at his swing. He cannot hit a ball 30 yards. He said he was a 6-handicapped. That was the only thing that made me angry during the debate with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former Sports Illustrated reporter Reilly, whose book accused the President of cheating in a wide variety of ways, was quick to mock Trump’s latest claims about his achievements.<\/p>\n

Reilly posted on X: \u201cHa! Trump adds about 10 every time he brings this up. Problem is, he hasn\u2019t actually won any [club championships]. None.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cYou beat Trump, he throws you out of the club. It\u2019s like when you let your toddler beat you in a foot race. He thinks it\u2019s real.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reilly pulled no punches in his book on Trump’s conduct on the golf course. He wrote: “To say ‘Donald Trump<\/a> cheats’ is like saying ‘Michael Phelps swims.’<\/p>\n

“He cheats at the highest level. He cheats when people are watching and he cheats when they aren’t. He cheats whether you like it or not. He cheats because that’s how he plays golf … if you’re playing golf with him, he’s going to cheat.”<\/p>\n

Trump’s claims coincide with fresh analysis from HuffPost,<\/a> which indicates the President’s golf excursions since he returned to office in January have racked up an eye-watering $71 million bill for taxpayers.<\/p>\n

The President requires an extensive security and Secret Service presence any time he plays golf. There are also huge travel costs, including the use of Air Force One, and everyday Americans have been left to foot the bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump has been ruthlessly mocked after the President claimed he has won 38 club championships despite widespread…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314874,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,1376,622,82,33221],"class_list":["post-314873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-donald-trump","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-us-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314873"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314873\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
