Footage of limping Donald Trump adds to doubts | Golf News

Concerning video footage of Donald Trump has triggered another wave of questions as the president faces renewed accusations of dishonest at golf. Over the weekend, Trump allegedly declared himself the winner of both the membership and senior championships at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf facility, recording a 70 to end two-under par.

Yet, contemplating his alleged historical past of bending the principles on the course, sure spectators have forged doubt on the decisive victory. “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship!” Trump shared on Truth Social alongside a video of his closing putt.

“Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a score of 70, and am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, because I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it, and they don’t!” It comes as Trump made a “ravaging” declare about males in ladies’s sport.

After Trump’s spectacular exhibiting, footage of the 80-year-old exiting Marine One sparked extra questions about his athletic skills. In one widely circulated video posted on Tuesday, Trump could be seen cautiously navigating a staircase main to the helicopter before strolling across the runway with what seems to be a slight limp.

In the feedback part, quite a few viewers have been fast to mock Trump’s unsteady gait, which surfaced mere days after his supposed membership championship success. “That body shot a 70 and won a tourney two days ago,” one X person sarcastically wrote, with another including: “Firing that 70 on the links two days ago sure took a lot of him.”

A third chimed in: “Your reigning and defending Bedminster Golf Club Champion everybody.”

Despite the substantial duties already requiring his focus, Trump has routinely made room in his busy agenda for golf. Since returning to the White House last January, he’s spent an impressive 125 days on the course — accounting for approximately 22.2 percent of his presidency, according to Did Trump Golf Today?.

However, Trump, who purportedly maintains an improbable 2.8 handicap with the USGA, has frequently inflated his golfing abilities, even asserting to have secured at least 40 club championships across his 15 elite golf facilities worldwide.

Sports journalist Rick Reilly — who penned the 2019 book Commander in Cheat, examining Trump’s numerous golf cheating allegations — debunked this audacious assertion by revealing how the POTUS racks up questionable victories in these competitions.

“Trump’s going around telling people he has received 20. But that’s 100% a lie,” Reilly told Vox back in 2019. “I really performed with him once, and he told me how he does it.

“Whenever he opens a new golf course, because he owns 14 and operates another five, he plays the first club champion by himself and declares that the club championship and puts his name on the wall.”
