The public debate and political battle between former United States President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden took a bit of an interesting turn this week as Trump decided to take the rivalry between the two political opponents in an interesting direction: to the golf course.
Donald Trump is well known for his affinity for golf as he owns several courses and has been golfing for about 65 years. He even took more than 140 trips to the golf course during his time in office between 2016 and 2020. Naturally, he has been around the game a lot, and it sounds like he’s quite unimpressed with the way Joe Biden plays.
During a recent speech at a rally in South Dakota over the weekend, Trump used the opportunity to blast Biden for what he deems as a lackluster golfing ability. Trump questioned the sitting president’s handicap before telling the crowd that Biden “can’t hit a ball.”

“The worst is, did you ever see his golf swing? He said he is a six handicap! Six handicap is a good golfer,” Trump said. “This guy couldn’t hit a ball to Kristi!”
It’s a pretty brutal message from the former president, and it led to plenty of reactions on social media as a result.

Trump doesn’t give speeches. He tells long fake stories that provide an alternate reality in which he’s the hero and allow his audience to conflate themselves with him as he pretends to vanquish imaginary enemies like “Sleepy Joe” “Crooked Hillary” “the Deep State” & “Fake News”

While Trump has not yet officially won the Republican nomination, he has a massive lead in the polls and it looks like he will be facing off against Biden in the general election.
