Trump Somehow Wins His Club's Golf Championship Despite Missing First Day

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Proving his own humble admission that he is “always the best at sports,” Donald J. Trump seized the gold medal at his own Florida club’s senior golf championship on Sunday.

Even more incredibly, the former president was able to claim victory despite completely skipping the tourney’s first day, having been in North Carolina for Lynette “Diamond” Hardaway’s memorial service.

Calling the win “a great honor” in a Truth Social post, Trump crowed, “Competed against many fine golfers, and was hitting the ball long and straight… You need strength and stamina to WIN, & I have strength & stamina - most others don’t. You also need strength & stamina to GOVERN!”

As the event’s other competitors teed off at Trump International Golf Club on Saturday, the club’s namesake was nearly 700 miles away in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Trump was recorded onstage at Fayetteville’s Crown Theater, eulogizing Diamond, the late pro-MAGA influencer who died suddenly at 51 a fortnight ago. “Through the tears and the grief, let us celebrate this incredible life,” he said.

Sounds like the time Roman Emperor Nero competed and won the Olympics.

1. TFG is infamous for cheating at golf.

To say “Donald Trump cheats” is like saying “Michael Phelps swims.” He cheats at the highest level. He cheats when people are watching, and he cheats when they aren’t. He cheats whether you like it or not. He cheats because that’s how he plays golf, that’s how he learned it, that’s how he needs it, and whether you’re his pharmacist or Tiger Woods, if you’re playing golf with him, he’s going to cheat.

. . . .

But why? Why does Trump cheat so much when he’s already a decent player? And how can he be so shameless as to cheat right in front of people? They call him on it, but he just shrugs and cheats some more. It’s ruined his reputation in the golf world. Ninety percent of the people I interviewed — on and off the record — say he openly cheats. A lot of them said they stopped playing with him because of it. So why? Why cheat? Why lie? Why exaggerate his handicap, his scores, his club championships?

“Because he has to,” says Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Lance Dodes, co-author of The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. “He needs to be the best at everything. He can’t stand not winning, not being the best. It had to have started very early in his development. To him, not being the best is like fingernails on the blackboard to you. He can’t live with it.”

2. When has Trump been best at anything?

Best at fucking things up? Failing? Fluffing his own ego?

3. "When you own the resort, you get a tournament Day 1 Mulligan

esp. if you're at the funeral of some great sycophant!

I don't know I don't make the rules, but I spoke to the people at the Masters and the PGA, and they told me, crying "Yes Sir Mr. Trump thats just how it's done", but I don't know, my people tell me I'm champion, so I'm sure they're right"

6. I was SURE this would be the onion!

[Just A Box Of Rain]

7. Since he didn't play the first day, his first-round score was a perfect -72 under par.

Perfect.

8. Too bad Kim Jung Il died

He shot five holes in one in one round. He would have been a worthy opponent to TFG

9. He's an F'in clown

Christ I wish he would stroke out. So sick of his bullshit day in and out. Nothing escapes it.

Apologies for my venting…

10. Nothing like telling all the tourney golfers that don't have enough stamina ! nt

11. When you're still the president (in your mind)...

you can play a perfect round of golf just by thinking about it.

12. Stroke out already, you F'n, murdering, orange TRAITOR**.

13. Yes, let's talk about "stamina," as he waddles the four steps

from the hole to his golf cart (conveniently parked right next to him on the green).

14. His scoring pencil has an eraser

15. Reminds me of someone

Kim-jong-Il of North Korea was a great sportsman too… if you believe his press clippings. LOL

“ In his very first golf game in 1994, Kim finished an 18-hole round of golf at 38-under par — over the 7,700-yard championship course at Pyongyang, according to state media. Kim was in a zone, recording five holes-in-one (some reports have the number as high as 11). Another legend had him bowling a perfect 300 in his first attempt at the sport, but that one may have strained the bonds of credulity to the breaking point.”
