'Rigged': Trump ridiculed after claiming to win two golf trophies at his own club
By: David McAfee (Raw Story - Celebrating Years of Independent Journalism)
Donald Trump on Sunday was met with sharp criticism on social media, not for being found liable for business fraud or sexual assault, but because of a brag about his golf trophies.
Trump, who earlier in the day raged against Fox News for its coverage of his civil fraud case, took to Truth Social to celebrate a purported golf victory.
"It is my great honor to be at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach tonight, AWARDS NIGHT, to receive THE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY & THE SENIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY. I WON BOTH!" Trump claimed.
"A large and golfing talented membership, a GREAT and difficult course, made the play very exciting. The qualifying and match play was amazing. A large and distinguished group will be there tonight. Very exciting, thank you!!!"
Columnist Molly Jong-Fast, @MollyJongFast, asked, "Do they just let him win everything lest he accuses the club of 'rigging?'"
Journalist Aaron Rupar wrote, "get a load of this effin' guy."
A popular account by the name of Marlene Robertson, @marlene4719, said this:
"So Trump is off to his golf club to accept two golf awards. And can you f------ believe he won both awards! He wouldn't 'rig it' would he?"
An account known as The Gardener, @hmcadena, chimed in as a means to debunk Trump's claims.
"I'm a golfer and belong to a private golf course. 77 year old men don't win The Club Senior Championship, much less win the Club Championship," he said Sunday. "Of course the only people that believe trump won these tournaments are the same fools that believe his lies about winning in 2020."
Former federal and state prosecutor Ron Filipkowski also weighed in on Trump's post about golf.
"Speaking of things that are rigged," he said on Sunday.
Trump won it all, and now Mexico is paying for his Golf of Mexico pay for the wall tour de force, but of course, asz Trump could obviously never lose, or be confuse d about losing in a time and place of their choosing, cuz just a CON turned Pro Life into not a women's choice
Yeah, we need a President who is from a family of coal miners, who received a full academic scholarship to law school where he finished in the top half of his class and went to be arrested trying to see Nelson Mandela. A real straight shooting hero.
Trump once "won" a golf tournament where he was the only entrant. you must be so proud.
That you think there's a difference between Biden lying about his background and accomplishments and Trump doing the same is truly amazing. The only thing that matters to you is the (d) or (r) after their name.
It's impossible to take these complaints from Biden supporters seriously.
Trump had fake Time magazine covers created with his picture on them to put on the walls of his golf courses so that people that came there would see how important he was. He didn't do it as a joke, he did it because he's nuts.
Your relentless attempts to prove that Biden and other Democrats are as bad in various ways as trump is constitute one of the epic face plants of our era.
Do you think Biden lies about his background as a joke?
why do Biden’s lies and crazy exaggerations get a pass?
Exactly. Using cheating at golf only shows the desperation.
I thought it was the dems in the 90s that insisted everyone get a trophy.
Simple: Orange man bad, Senile old puppet good. That in its entirety is the depth of thinking involved.
The only people that care about it are people that........wait, no one cares about it.
Of course you don't care about trump being a mentally ill pathological liar. that's not news.
Not true, I care as much as you care that Biden is a mentally ill pathological liar.
You have something against coal miners?
Trump lives up to his name of ''Walking Eagle'' so full of shit he can't fly.
