President Joe Biden ridiculed his 2024 election rival Donal Trump on social media after the Republican boasted about winning two amateur golf trophies at his own club's awards.

The former president announced in a post on Truth Social that he had been awarded the club championship trophy and the senior club championship trophy at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.

“I WON BOTH,” Mr Trump wrote. “A large and golfing talented membership, a GREAT and difficult course, made the play very exciting. “The qualifying and match play was amazing. A large and distinguished group will be there tonight. Very exciting, thank you,” the 45th president added.

Mr Biden on Monday shared a screengrab of Mr Trump’s post on X, adding: “Congratulations, Donald. Quite the accomplishment.”

1. Burn!

[Paladin]

2. And yet again, my President NAILS IT.

Probably too subtle for trump, but who gives a shit?

[BumRushDaShow]

5. He apparently reacted to it (per the OP article)

like a middle school kid.

[Paladin]

7. I would never, ever expect a grown-up response. (nt)

[niyad]

15. That article did a nasty bothsiderism, equating Biden and TRAITOR**

trading jabs as though they were equal, although Joe's are sharp and accurate, and TRAITOR**'s are just nasty, lying BS.

[BumRushDaShow]

16. Most of of the "mainstream" media

outside of some of the most left sites, have and will unfortunately continue to do it the "both sides"

I think the point here is to show DU that YES, Democrats ARE "fighting back" and not -

1.) Clutching pearls
2.) Keeping powder dry
3.) Refusing to take off the gloves
4.) "Worrying"
5.) "Hand-wringing"
6.) "Going high when they go low"

which are "self-insults" that I have seen posted on DU far too many times for the 16 years I have been here.

It's quite a change.

[niyad]

19. You are quite correct about that. Our people are doing a great job. I

am still chuckling about the "impeachment" hearing last week.

[BumRushDaShow]

20. I think the "messaging" thing has been the biggest clarion call over the past decade

so trying to find articles to post showing that this is being taken seriously, has been one of my focuses this election season!

[Harker]

23. I don't view 6.) "Going high when they go low" as a self-insult...

but as an admirable dedication to steadfastly acting with decency and honesty in the face of those who cheat and steal.

There are, though, situations that merit a kick to the opponent's groin.

[BumRushDaShow]

27. I definitely get the "decency" thing because it was someting that FLOTUS Michelle Obama pushed for

But on DU, it was thoroughly ridiculed along with other insults like "Democrats" -

7.) have no spine (complete with graphics of "spines" from political cartoons
8.) won't fight back

among other things that I could probably come up with off the top of my head.

I think some strategists may have observed what John Fetterman did in his campaign here in PA with his twitter trolling the GOP and maybe took a few pages from that book. If anything, Biden is not one for holding back.

[Harker]

29. I need to stray out of the lounge more often.

Joe Biden can balance high and low beautifully, sticking it to Trumpsky while remaining elegant, and that's a skill Trumpsky doesn't have. His range is clearly limited from crass through uncouth to deplorable.

[BumRushDaShow]

31. In other words

"Let Joe be Joe".

(from 16 years ago)

[BradBo]

3. Trump's mentally ill.

[MOMFUDSKI]

4. This should be done every day until November.

There are plenty of topics to choose from.

[getagrip_already]

6. Lets not ignore the fact that in previous years he won without actually playing

He claimed he pre-played the course and self reported his score, which was lower than anyone else making him the winner.

Quite the accomplishment.

[riversedge]

8. 'The Trump camp lashed back immediately following Mr Biden's brief remark, with the Republican's campaign team...

It is going to be LONG 8 plus months for Pres. Biden.




The Trump camp lashed back immediately following Mr Biden's brief remark, with the Republican’s campaign team criticising the 81-year-old incumbent president's physical capabilities.

“Crooked Joe Biden is jealous because anything he does physically is an embarrassment – whether it is falling off his bike, whiffing on golf balls, or just generally falling on his ass in front of the world,” a spokesperson for Mr Trump told The Hill.

Mr Biden and his Republican rival have poked fun at each other multiple times across social media platforms since clinching their presidential nominations earlier this month. Mr Trump has been seen routinely sharing memes and videos of Mr Biden, both fake and real, on his Instagram page............

13. This kind of trolling will help Biden

The more the Trump team throws tantrums while Dark Brandon is chill, the more Biden goes up in the polls.

Keep it up Dark Brandon.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. 👆👆👆 THIS

[Bristlecone]

18. "A spokesman for Mr Trump..."

Comical.

[Blue Owl]

9. Nancy Pelosi was also rumored to have congratulated him

[cstanleytech]

10. Well, Donald finally accomplished something in his life.

[Escurumbele]

11. trump is famous for cheating on everything, and more in golf, who is going to believe he on those tournaments

fair and square? He is known for having his caddy plant the golf balls near the hole on the greens.

Not sure who played with the SOB once, and told the story. First he noticed the buffoon would move the ball with his feet to better spots, he doesn't believe in the rule of golf "play where it lies", then he hit one in the water around the green, his caddy drove all the way to the green and planted a ball near the hole. This guy told him that he saw his ball go in the water, but he still cheated.

The sad thing is that I am sure that during the trophy presentation the bunch of seals in the room sat there clapping as if the buffoon had legitimately won the tournaments. What a bunch of unprincipled fools.

[apnu]

12. Reminds me of the corporate race in 'Mr. Mom'

?si=wOUi6g2KhGGFEtA-

[twodogsbarking]

17. He thinks he won the election too. Everyone move along, nothing to see.

[EarthFirst]

21. I wouldn't expect anything less from someone with a 2.8 handicap...

…I mean in a typical round of 18; he beats John Rahm by an average of 5 strokes!

[ybbor]

22. I hear he had 12 hole in ones

One more than Kim Jong Il’s record.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

25. I was going to bring up Jong-il but you beat me to the punch.

Jong-il was said to have shot a 38 for 18 holes. Trump has a long way to go to be the champ in the Dictator’s Golf Association.

[usonian]

24. A superstar acknowledged by authors.

Unrelated: I awarded myself a "Personal MBA" degree, and I'm working on my "Personal PhD." lately.

But, to be honest, the best degree I ever earned is "Great Dad". With a merit badge for integrity.

Can't fake that.

[IronLionZion]

26. Last games before his properties are seized?

[Martin68]

28. Doubly hilarious: 1) he's pretending he doesn't care about losing hundreds of millions in assets, and 2) everyone

know knows "winning an award" means he cheated (in this case he must have cheated twice).

[Midnight Writer]

30. I just won the Club Championship and Senior Championship Trophies at my house.

I haven't decided if they will be golf trophies or something else, maybe something about horseback riding or hockey. Or maybe some sort of martial arts championship.

I don't actually play golf, ride horses, play hockey, or practice martial arts. But, oddly enough, no one was willing to come forward and compete with me, so I won by default.

It's good to be the King.

[LiberalFighter]

32. Did his ex-wife snatch the balls from the other players into her coffin?

33. Sportswriter Who Golfed With Trump Reveals Exactly How He Cheats At The Game

TFG cheats at every thing and cannot accept that he loses at anything. I am seeing a number of articles poking fun at TFG's cheating at golf.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rick-reilly-trump-golf-cheat_n_6603bd13e4b07b8c86dfbc4e

Sportswriter Rick Reilly is calling BS on Donald Trump after the former president declared himself the winner of both the club championship and senior club championship at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida.

“He’s never won a championship at a course he doesn’t own and operate,” Reilly, who has golfed with Trump, said on MSNBC on Tuesday. “He’s played in Pebble Beach, he’s played in the Tahoe one, where there are rules and judges and cameras. And in those, he’s never finished in the top half. So he wins when anybody who disagrees that he won is out of the club. That’s how he gets it.”

Reilly, who wrote an entire book on how Trump cheats at golf, said the former president even confessed one of his methods: When he buys a golf course, he plays the first round alone and declares himself the course champion.

And that’s not the only trick up Trump’s sleeve.

Reilly said golfers have to trust each other because of the vast distances on the course and the fact that no referees are keeping watch ― and Trump takes full advantage of that.

The former president “always gets a turbo-charged golf cart that goes three times as fast as yours, so he’s always 200 yards ahead, and that gives him time to cheat.”

TFG hates these articles and so it fun seeing Biden mock TFG and his golf game

35. Just saw this pop up in the GD - POTUS challenges Trump to a round of golf

and will let TSF take 3 strokes off his game if he carries his own bag.
