President Donald Trump just turned a simple golf outing into a viral moment that’s got everyone talking.
According to the New York Post, over the Thanksgiving weekend, Trump hit the greens with an all-star crew, including LIV Golf’s Brooks Koepka, NHL icon Wayne Gretzky, and Fox News host Bret Baier, only to steal the spotlight with an impressive chip shot shared on Truth Social while reigniting his golf rivalry with former President Joe Biden.
Let’s rewind to earlier this year, specifically the presidential debate on June 27, 2024, in Atlanta, where Trump first took a swing at Biden’s golf skills.
During that heated exchange, Trump didn’t hold back, questioning Biden’s claimed handicap and suggesting the former president couldn’t hit a ball far enough to make par on any course.
Shortly after, Trump upped the ante, challenging Biden to a match with a hefty $1 million charity donation on the line if he lost—a bold move that’s yet to get a tee time.
Fast forward to the Thanksgiving weekend, and Trump’s still swinging, both literally and figuratively, as he joined a high-profile group for a round of golf that turned heads.
In the now-viral Truth Social video, Trump executed a flawless chip shot—barely lifting off the ground but rolling straight into the hole with surgical precision.
As a fellow golfer exclaimed, “One time!” Trump strolled away with a grin, later captioning the post with a cheeky, “Winning is always nice!” (Truth Social).
That kind of confidence isn’t new for Trump, who’s been touting his 38 club championship wins all week, reminding folks that talent doesn’t fade even without much practice.
During a Thanksgiving video call with U.S. military members, the golf feud resurfaced when a petty officer asked, “Are you and President Biden going to play that golf match?”
Trump’s response was classic, saying, “I’ve invited him, but he doesn’t want to show up.” A jab that lands harder than a driver off the tee.
Let’s be honest—while policy debates matter, this kind of playful rivalry shows Trump’s knack for keeping the conversation lively, even if Biden seems content to stay off the fairway.
Trump didn’t stop at the challenge; he doubled down on his credentials, claiming a low handicap around scratch or better, and recalling a recent club championship win against a plus-three handicap player. He’s also quick to point out a victory last year over a much younger opponent, proving age is just a number when you’re splitting fairways.
While progressive critics might roll their eyes at this golf obsession, there’s something undeniably American about a leader who competes fiercely—whether in politics or on the links—and isn’t afraid to celebrate a win.
