According to sportswriter Rick Reilly, "At Winged Foot, where Trump is a member, the caddies got so used to seeing him kick his ball back onto the fairway they came up with a nickname for him: 'Pele.'”

He's a POS in absolutely every fucking thing he does.
The surprise would be if Trump didn't cheat at golf. It's unimaginable.
Isn’t that cheating? I thought he was the all time every time champion of every tournament played at all his courses?
Jaysus, at this stage he's literally like Ernst Stavro Blofeld in Goldfinger.
For a guy who pretty much, ONLY golf’s, he’s really bad at it!
@whiskeynachos.bsky.social
as if.

this is the ol' hand wedge. and if you (and your caddie) use the hand wedge, it's guaranteed you're also pulling out the foot wedge too. www.golfcompendium.com/2019/06/hand...
Why would anyone want to play with a guy who is famous for cheating, doesn't wait his turn, steals your balls, and drives onto the putting green?
Because people play golf with someone like Trump mostly to make connections with rich and powerful people who might be able to help them in the future?
My inability to not call someone an asshole to their face strikes again.
There's an anecdote in Careless People about Mark Zuckerberg's entourage blatantly letting Zuck win at Settlers of Catan, and when the author (Sarah Wynn-Williams) got so sick of it she called him out to his face, everyone acted incredulous, like she'd accused him of eating a puppy. 1/2
I personally witnessed strongman Hun Sen of Cambodia cheating at golf. Then he cornered my husband in the club house and started bragging about his score. He was the only one oblivious to how embarrassing the whole scene was. Everyone knew he cheated regularly, but no one ever said a word.
I suspect it's the same with Trump. I wouldn't be surprised if (would even assume that) the ass-kissers and suck-ups who golf with him to network, gladhand, make deals, and influence him not only turn a blind eye to his cheating, but even assist in it when they can. No character, some people.
Expect nothing less from a guy who believes in the mantra” if you’re not lying and cheating to win you don’t want to win bad enough”. He’s a douchebag.
It frustrates the hell out of me that the video doesn't show him playing that ball.
Explains why he likes building/owning golf courses......only way he can be seen as good is to be able to fire or ban anyone who says otherwise.
Good grief. Could anything highlight Trump's lack of integrity better than this?
When you've won your club championship 186 times in a row, they let you do it.
That's how you win the club championship 20 years running
True success is to have someone else do your foot wedge work for you.
TACO, Pele the golf cheat, sex pest, fraudulent "University", racial discrimination consent decree,... We've got a real winner representing us on the world stage.
I’m not surprised he’s cheating.
Something I wish Biden, Clinton, or Harris had done: insult his golf. Not the amount of time he plays, but how he cheats at it and how his golf courses just plain suck.
...look we have had an absolute dearth of public figures - in particular those from the opposition party - attack Trump on being a dumb stupid whiny pathetic loser baby. Not one politician has plainly said "Donald Trump is the stupidest motherfucker on the planet" and that is a travesty.
reining in Tim Walz is, truly, one of the least forgivable things I find about modern-era Dem consultants
The closest we’ve had was George W saying “that was some weird shit”
I like the way you think.
The old foot wedge. Trump can’t even play a game by the rules.
During TrumpI could not believe the number of South Carolina men who claimed to take golf seriously, knew Lindsey Graham was helping him cheat, and voted for the golf cheat anyway.
Smelly Pele
This is a plug for golf? Makes me want to throw my clubs in ocean
Pele, TACO, The Enigma......Trump is such a shady con man that it's hard to keep up with the nicknames.
"Pele"...it would be terrible if that started to widely circulate.
Oh….. Good shot Donald!
Nothing he does is legit. Not a thing.
Lying, cheating sack of shit at life and golf.
My guess is that Trump's supporters who are golfers also cheat, so they find this endearing, not problematic. Meanwhile, Trump's supporters who don't golf just assume that all rich people (including and especially democrats) cheat at everything and so this is just the way the world works.
This academic exploration delves into the ethical principles that govern golf, revealing how these norms influence both individual conduct and the broader culture surrounding this esteemed sport. golflessonschannel.com/exploring-th...
Honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy, judgment. 9 things he does not have, maybe why the PGA wants nothing to do with him! www.golfforvets.org/articles/nin...
One look at his horrific and pathetic swing and you'll know he's never shot par on a course in his life.
Many professional golfers fellate Trump and they also are supposed to abide by the rules of the game. Those are the assholes, guys like Tiger Woods who'd be aghast if that happened on the tour. Instead he promotes the cheater.
This is how Donald Trump's dead father made his family fortune. Instead of golf balls, it was taxpayer money.
I hate Trump and golf a bit. Improving your lie a little if you're playing a casual round with friends is ok. Taking the ball out of a trap or the rough is a douche move. The truly galling thing is that he pretends to win competitive tournaments, which are much stricter than a casual round.
Put another way, for the people who find it appalling and disqualifying that Trump is a widely-known cheater at golf, it's almost impossible to get inside the minds of the large number of our fellow humans who are totally unbothered by this or just find it funny.
Our "Commander in Cheat"!!!!! Brilliant From the Yahoo headline: sports.yahoo.com/article/pres... We got TACO Trump Cheato Don the Con The Lyin King He who must not be named .... And now Commander in Cheat
Confronted with this, he'd at first deny it, to then end up mumbling «that makes me smart!» – and the MAGAs would happily gobble it up.
It's consistent with his actions -- totally immoral and selfish -- in every other sphere of life so it does tell us something important about his character. Also I think it partly explains his ability to appeal to his base. He'll say whatever they want to hear with no regard for the truth.
The geriatric Trumper in my family cheats at croquet against small children, and weaponizes the rules. Privilege - rules for thee.
My late father-in-law loved the game of golf and was scrupulously honest in his play. He repeated this saying but didn't claim to have originated it: "Golf doesn't build character; it reveals it."
“I always say golf is like bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a man. And golf reveals a lot of ugliness in this president.”
I just find it weak. Trump has always looked weak to me. Learned long ago that braggarts and liars don't have real substance or strength to get them through, so they just BS everything and see who they can con into believing it. Worked way too often, sad to say. Big reason I left gov't service.
The criminal class imo.
I talked once to a pro Trump kid, about 20 y/o and asked him why? He said Trump was a good businessman and would be good for America. I proceeded to list all his business failures and convictions. The kid laughed and said, “he’s still rich”. I walked away.
trump won the club championship today, before getting back on the plane to the US.
Trump golfs so much bc it gives him hours of public opportunities to cheat with praise & no negative consequences.
🎯
My issue with Trump's golf are his claims that he wins EVERY club championship he plays in. That is such utter BS. He's got a decent swing. Probably shoot 90-100ish, like a lot of guys. He just can't allow himself to admit that he's just average.
His swing had better be good, he's been playing 3 days a week for at least the last decade.
Never trust anyone that cheats at golf.
I wouldn’t trust anyone who cheats at anything! Period!
That turd should NEVER been compared to the great Pele. 😡
As much as he lies and cheats everywhere else, is anyone surprised he cheats at golf?
Love it, but what an insult to Pele😂
What an insult to Pele!
I thought he shot an 18 today, a new course record.
He cheats at EVERYTHING because he’s a unlikable freak and petulant loser
He’s Judge Smales in almost every way
He believes his own lies with the world watching. The definition of a sociopathic narcissist in action.
There's a lot of Judge Smails in Donald Trump.
Because cheating at golf, for God’s sake, is so manly. Not.
I am looking forward to one of the reporters asking him about his caddie dropping a ball for him. He will probably say it was fake.
Calling him Pele is the nicest thing anyone has ever said about him.
I could be misremembering, but didn't he respond to the Qatari jet scandal by saying something like, "it's just like when you move your golf ball out of the sand trap and the refs don't notice."
"Welcome back President #Trump, did you have a better round than yesterday?" "Better, like as in lower?" "Aye. Lower is better, right? Like tariffs." "Yes, I set a course record apparently. I think I may celebrate with a 15yr old." "Well, we have a nice Glen Livet." "What? Oh whisky, bleurgh!"
How does he kick with his cankles
Not original. Q: Why did Trump bury his first wife on his golf course? A: So he could continue cheating on her.
He is a lying criminal!
This vid will not go over well in Scotland.
OMFG. It couldn’t be more blatant.
🤣
He’s even a fraud at golf.
Why would any respectable golf club not named Trump something something want Agolf as a member?
Commander in Cheat is a great book.
During first Trump administration, my husband was invited to play at Bedminster w/ some business associates. One asked the caddy if he’d ever caddied for Trump. Caddy laughed no and said, “MY ARM ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH.”
Yup let's elect him as POTUS!
Aaaack!
⚽️
What a fricken loser!
I guess the caddie is the true club champion.
😂 That's why he always wins! He's just a liar and a cheat. And that's an insult to Pele who was a true athlete!
Trump cheating at golf is nothing new. His caddies used to call him Pele, behind his back, because he was famous for kicking his ball into a better position.😂
😂
