President Trump won a 2018 club championship -- without actually playing in it!

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Donald Trump takes great pride in his golf game. Shinzo Abe and Tiger Woods and countless others can tell you about that. He once tweeted “I don’t cheat at golf” but added that Samuel L. Jackson does and “with his game he has no choice.” The president’s official USGA handicap index is listed as 2.8, though he seldom posts scores. Any visitor to the ornate men’s locker room at his club here, Trump International Golf Club, can see small rectangular brass plaques on his locker, recognizing him as the 1999, 2001 and 2009 club champion, and the 2012 and 2013 senior champion.

And now there’s a new plaque on his locker, screwed into its stained wood with two small Phillips head screws, to commemorate his latest title. It reads:



President Trump's locker at Trump International in West Palm Beach, Fla.
Yes, Trump was president of the United States for all of 2018.

-------

But to be precise about it, the plaque on his locker is two letters short of accurate. Trump is not actually the men’s champion at the club. He’s the co-champion. While that distinction is not found on his locker, it is made elsewhere at the club.

He was a "senior" in 2012, but apparently, time is reversing in his world.

(whatchawannabet he was beaten by a younger player, and invented the "senior" club so he could remain "champion"?)

In fact, he should just backfill all the missing years and be done with it.

A few of them look like they could use some polish or somethin’. One might think a fella of tRump’s standing would have a solid gold plaque. Or at least gold plated. Maybe Brass??? LOL. Just like his balls.

He has to lie and cheat about everything! His grades, his accomplishments, his wealth, his business success, his golf scores, his "manhood", his knowledge, etc. Everything!

He is the biggest loser on the planet!
