From Rick Reilly, in The Guardian, who wrote the book on Trump cheating in golf:

“You’re mostly laughing,” Reilly says, “but at times you’re crying – how did this happen? As a golfer he really offends me. Cheating? Hate that. Driving carts on greens? Hate that. Wearing old dockers two sizes too small for him? Give me a break. Kicking your ball so often the caddies call you Pelé? I so hate that.

It has been well established that Trump cheats at golf. Is there anything in life in which he doesn’t cheat? Taxes? Files? A peaceful transfer of power? Terrible deals?

He has often played the first round of golf at a new course and then claims to be the club champion because they don’t have another competition for a couple of years. And now, he’s announcing that he won the club championship for the senior division. Remember, this is a competition in which the caddies (who ride a golf cart) and Trump hauls off to his ball first, only to kick it out into the fairway, and call him “Pele.”. Who wants to bet that the “senior division” cut-off was the day before his age?

Here is our guy announcing the “honor” it is to win the club championship:

A great honor to have won the Senior Club Championship at Trump International Golf Club, one of the best courses in the Country, in Palm Beach County, Florida. Competed against many fine golfers, and was hitting the ball long and straight. The reason that I announce this on fabulous TRUTH is that, in a very real way, it serves as a physical exam, only MUCH tougher. You need strength and stamina to WIN, & I have strength & stamina – most others don’t. You also need strength & stamina to GOVERN!

No, Trump, a physical exam is a physical exam, and it can be much tougher when one has to do a drug screen, a real weight check, and a real stress test.

God, he’s even cheating on describing what driving a little cart to a ball, swinging a club, and back in the cart until walking around the green is exercise, much harder than a physical exam!

  1. My grandmother never cheated at cards. Even when she played with her grandchildren who didn’t know any better. She played to win, but would never cheat to win. I taught that to my children. When my children were younger the advantaged players took on handicaps to keep the games even. Believe me, I am very competitive and hate losing, my kids grew up the same way.

    Now that the children are adults and playing with my wife who has a progressive visual impairment, they take on handicaps to keep the games even. We all want to win, but no one cheats to win, that spoils the game.

    Of all the sadness that is trump’s life is that he has to cheat to win, and that seems to make him happy. I can’t imagine a more pathetic and sad life.

    • My number one beef with Trump is the total meltdown all his minions had when he pointed out how many and often was Obama’s trips to the golf course, and then he spends his first 3 months in office on the course himself. And all his little minions, why they cheered his sorry ass for being there as often as he was. Hypocrites the whole sorry lot of them. And if they’ll all be content with that hypocrisy, then Jan 06 means nada to that sorry bunch.

  2. Cheating at golf is so odious because it’s so easy: you mark your own card. It’s an honour system, so of course Trumpler’s not going to even recognise such a thing, let alone obey it. Trump’s habitual cheating must have been a boon for Little Lindsey Lickspittle, though; he didn’t have to let Trump win, the fix was already in.

  3. Violating the sacred game of golf is beyond wrong. He should be buried up to his neck in a sand trap while the club plays through.

  4. I’ve never figured out the point of cheating. If you cheat it proves you cannot win fairly. Period. It proves in a way no other thing can, that you’re a loser. Who in the fuck wants to have that rubbed in their face for life? I mean, beside the idiot who hasn’t the wit to realize what a bad spotlight such behavior shines on him.

  5. I wonder what he will do now. Ain’t no way he can pass a physical. Ten to one his doctor has a new Cadillac in front of his office the day after he gives Trump a physical. Better check the paperwork, make sure taxes were paid. You know the Trump company has trouble with tax bills.
