Trump’s viral golf moment reignites playful rivalry with Biden — and the debate is heating up again.
After boasting about his impressive record of 38 golf club championships, Donald Trump decided to show the world why he’s still proud of his swing. A new video of the 47th president on the golf course went viral after he drained a slick chip shot alongside LIV Golf star Brooks Koepka, hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, and Fox News anchor Bret Baier.
The clip, shared on Trump’s Truth Social account, shows him lining up a short chip from just off the green. As his caddie removes the pin, Trump takes a couple of practice swings—then rolls the shot cleanly into the cup. The ball never left the ground, yet it tracked perfectly, dropping into the hole amid cheers of “One time!” from his playing partners. Trump grinned as he walked off, posting later, “Winning is always nice!”
But here’s where it gets more interesting — the timing wasn’t random. The video surfaced right after Trump took another jab at President Joe Biden’s golf game during a Thanksgiving video call with U.S. service members. One petty officer on the call couldn’t resist asking the question everyone wondered: “What’s your real golf handicap? And are you ever going to play that match with President Biden?”
Trump didn’t hesitate. Laughing, he replied that he’d “love” to take Biden on but claimed Biden “doesn’t want to show up.” He doubled down on earlier debate comments mocking Biden’s golf ability, saying he’s watched Biden swing and doubts he can hit a ball 30 yards. For those who remember their fiery June 2024 debate in Atlanta, Trump had already proposed a one-on-one charity golf match with $1 million on the line if he lost. Biden never responded—and Trump hasn’t let it go since.
The former president then rattled off his golfing résumé with trademark bravado, reminding listeners that he’s won 38 club championships despite a packed schedule. He even recounted beating a 27-year-old competitor last year, quipping, “The fairway doesn’t know how old you are.” It was classic Trump: competitive, confident, and clearly comfortable defending his sportsmanship.
When asked about his current skill level, Trump wouldn’t give a precise handicap but insisted he’s practically a scratch golfer—or better. “I even beat a plus-three,” he added, referencing a player three strokes better than par, noting that he achieved it all “with no practice” despite his hectic life. The takeaway? Trump still sees himself as a serious player who loves the game and hates to lose.
And this is what has people talking: Is Trump using golf as a political metaphor—positioning himself as the energetic underdog against a rival he paints as out of his league? Or is it simply another example of Trump turning competition into spectacle?
Either way, the video reignited chatter across social media—not just about who’s the better golfer, but who’s more confident in the public eye.
What do you think? Is Trump’s friendly taunting just harmless fun, or does it reveal something deeper about his ongoing rivalry with Biden? Drop your thoughts below—because this rivalry might just be heading for an 18-hole showdown sooner than expected.
