Donald Trump seems to have found someone to support his questionable claims about his golf skills.
Brian Jack, a former Trump adviser who is seeking to represent a Georgia district in the House of Representatives with Trump’s endorsement, shared a dubious anecdote about his former boss while they were playing golf.
“I have something to share, although I’m a bit hesitant,” Jack disclosed at a Trump rally in Rome, Georgia, on Saturday. “Recently, President Trump astounded two professional golfers with his skills. I won’t reveal their identities, but rest assured, he shot a remarkable 70 on 18 holes.”
According to Mediaite, Jack’s claim about Trump’s golf skills could be considered “the most shameless yet.”
A skeptic on X, formerly Twitter, made an interesting comparison, suggesting that Jack’s story had a similar feel to a North Korean media report about the late Kim Jong Il achieving 11 holes-in-one during his first ever round of golf. Another, more conservative report mentioned five holes-in-one.
According to a book called “Commander in Cheat” by Rick Reilly, someone on X pointed out that even when playing with Tiger Woods, Trump allegedly pulled a fast one with his golf antics.
According to Reilly, Trump’s cheating in golf goes beyond typical dishonesty. He employs deceptive tactics like a skilled card dealer in a three-card Monte game. He resorts to throwing, kicking, and manipulating the ball. His lies are so frequent that he even lies about his lies. Trump’s golfing companions at Winged Foot, where he is a member, have observed his cheating behavior to such an extent that they have given him the nickname “Pele,” referencing the famous soccer player known for his use of his feet.
Trump went as far as to assert that he had emerged victorious in a golf tournament that he had never even participated in.
Trump undeniably has a deep passion for the game. During his time as president, he actively engaged in golf, playing a staggering 289 times exclusively at his own properties. This avid pursuit of the sport came at a significant cost, with taxpayers shouldering the burden of covering the substantial $151.5 million travel and security expenses, as revealed by a comprehensive analysis conducted by HuffPost in 2021.
Take a look at the responses from individuals who read the comments on X but were not convinced by Jack’s story about the tee.
