... one of Trump’s caddies walks ahead of his golf cart and appears to discreetly toss a ball into the fescue — the long grass typically framing the rough — as Trump looks on. Trump then exits the cart and approaches it as if it were his original shot.

The video has reignited long-standing accusations that Trump regularly cheats at golf, a claim well-documented in past reporting, including anecdotes from professional players and former associates ...

1. The Scottish member of Parliament said "Sometimes, what a bully needs, is to be stood up to". Amen, brother, amen.

2. how much did he pay the caddie?

hope he got the cash up front.

[AllaN01Bear]

9. most likely 0.

wont pay at all.

10. I'm wondering if the caddies are Scottish?

If they are, they're probably disgusted and embarrassed working for such an obvious cheater. On the other hand, maybe the caddies are really his Secret Service guys, and they're already used to his golf cheating.

15. I think that caddie was his diaper boy Kashyap Pramod Patel

3. Some people are saying it was a legal "drop," to take relief from a hazard (an unplayable lie).

USGA rule on "dropping" (Scottish rules are pretty much the same): "When taking relief, whether with penalty or without, you must drop a ball. The ball must be dropped straight down from knee height, must be dropped by you (or your partner), must first strike the ground within your relief area or on the line when taking back-on-the-line relief, and must remain within the relief area. Your caddie is not allowed to drop your ball."

Ohviously, the guy (a caddie?) who "dropped" Trump's ball wasn't following the rules, he was cheating to help his player.

4. Caddies can't drop for the player.

And he was sneaky about it too.

6. You can clearly see him sneakily flipping the ball backwards as he walks past the spot.

A more furtive caddie would make a hole in his pocket and drop the ball straight down his pant leg.

8. I bet he had to sign an NDA.

5. No matter what the argument,

he just can't help himself......he has to have it HIS way. HIS way is always the right way and no one can make him change his mind. I wish a psychologist could explain this rigid behavior of his!

[Harker]

7. He probably thought "Goldfinger" was an instructional film.

[Submariner]

11. And this is the asshole 77 million racist scum trust with nuclear bombs

a lying cheat....sick

[Gimpyknee]

12. I'm certain that Trump took the mandated one stroke penalty for that drop.

Sure he did.

13. Krasnov cheats at everything, marriage, taxes, contracts, treaties etc.

[Blue Owl]

14. This fucker is such a colossal LOSER who in their right mind supports him?

Jesus fucking Christ….

16. trump cheats at everything

[Heidi]

17. "When you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."

This seems to be his mantra for everything from sexual assault to cheating at golf.

[0rganism]

18. It really seems like doing this should trigger an ancestral curse of some kind

Probably doesn't, but this seems high on the list of things that would happen if it could.

[BoRaGard]

19. Damn low, even for a repube

Wasting taxpayer money to golf and hold the grand opening for one of his courses! Why should we have to pay M just for him to play a game of golf??

Wall Street Journal reporter Josh Dawsey worked with co-authors Isaac Arnsdorf and Tyler Pager to gather information about President Donald Trump from his 2024 campaign for their book. Among the things they found was an admission from Trump that the Secret Service makes it more difficult for him to cheat a golf.

Over the weekend, videos captured Trump's two caddies walking ahead of Trump's golf cart before one caddy appears to drop a ball on the course. Trump then hops out of the golf cart and walks to the ball as if it were there the whole time. The person Trump appeared to be playing with was following in his cart and walked over to the ball with Trump.

According to Dawsey, the team captured audio of Trump complaining that the Secret Service is in the trees and bushes all over his golf course as security — and measure shown to be necessary when a man was accused of shooting at Trump through a fence in Sept. 2024 while he was playing at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

According to Trump, the agents being in the trees at his courses "made it harder to move the ball when he had a bad lie," wrote Dawsy on X.

“I hit a ball down the fairway, it's in a little rough, and there's a guy standing behind a tree, 'Good morning, sir.' And I got a ball with a horrible lie. I'd go like this. Nobody would know the difference. I can't because, he said, they're all looking down at me horrible. It's a horrible situation to be in," Trump said of his security during his games.
