TFG 'Not Happy' With His Golf Nickname

The President of the United States has developed a new nickname on the course this weekend. President Trump, 79, played a couple of rounds of golf in Scotland. The President of the United States has a prestigious course, Trump Turnberry, in Scotland, where he has family roots.

President Trump, who was in Scotland to work on a deal with the European Union, played a round of golf on Saturday and another round on Sunday.

However, video of President Trump potentially getting caught bending the rules is going viral on social media.

… snip …

In the wake of the video, President Trump is being referred to as the "Commander in Cheat."

11. Rick Reily gave him that name in 2019, COMMANDER IN CHEAT: HOW GOLF EXPLAINS TRUMP
Mon Jul 28, 2025, 09:43 AM
Jul 2025

Donald Trump is the worst cheat ever and he doesn’t care who knows,” Rick Reilly says as he describes a man he has known for 30 years. “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.”

Reilly, the former Sports Illustrated columnist, has written a book called Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump. It’s rattling good fun which also depicts the startling duplicity of the president as a golfer. “You’re mostly laughing,” Reilly says, “but at times you’re crying – how did this happen? As a golfer he really offends me. Cheating? Hate that. Driving carts on greens? Hate that. Wearing old dockers two sizes too small for him? Give me a break. Kicking your ball so often the caddies call you Pelé? I so hate that. Most of all I hate how stupid he’s making my country look. I hate what he’s doing to my planet. I hate what he’s doing to kids at the border. I don’t mind Republicans. I just can’t stand this guy. I love golf and he has set the game back 30 years. Just when it was becoming cool with Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler we get this fat bozo cheating his ass off.”

Dr Lance Dodes, a Harvard psychiatrist, tells Reilly that Trump is “a very ill man” who “exhibits all the traits of a narcissistic personality disorder.” Reilly sighs. “It’s terrible he should cheat at golf which is the one sport where we self-regulate. There are referees in every other sport but in golf, if you’re 200 yards away, you can kick the ball and get away with it. I called the National Golf Foundation. They said 90% of golfers don’t cheat. Golf is an honest game but this guy leaves a big ugly orange stain on it. It really pisses me off.”

We were all aware of his cheating in business, golf, his sex crimes, his links to organized crime
and Russia, the Steele Dossier laid out his taking money from Russia, China, Saudi Arabia,and his sexual
proclivities, that he had to go to military school instead of a juvenile prison, the thousands of
law suits, and his links to Roy Cohen. Hell, he had some adderall come out of his nose as he
was debating HRC. No way he won those elections legitimately he was installed by Russia
and the super rich to be their errand boy.

He does have solid support among @ least 30% of the U.S. population because they like
his racism, sexism, and that he is an asshole.

Our media sucks and is owned by the republicans.

They allowed the "Commander in Cheat" to become who he is: a freaking nightmare. How can you "not mind" republicans but despise Trump? They're the enablers in chief.
Trump was a Democrat in an earlier iteration, but they wouldn't allow him to get near the reins of power. He then became a republican because they love wealthy people without souls. They took him in, praised his supposed "busines acumen," and prostrated themselves before him, turning him into the Orange Jesus they believe he is. In this way they could lay waste to our country's benevolent reputation and turn it into the top-first kleptocracy we see today.
"I don't mind republicans."

Trump whined that the Secret Service made it harder for him to cheat at golf: report

www.rawstory.com/trump-golf-2...

Diane Strickland 🦋 (@autisticannie.bsky.social) 2025-07-28T17:32:27.927Z

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-golf-2673773236/

Wall Street Journal reporter Josh Dawsey worked with co-authors Isaac Arnsdorf and Tyler Pager to gather information about President Donald Trump from his 2024 campaign for their book. Among the things they found was an admission from Trump that the Secret Service makes it more difficult for him to cheat a golf.

Over the weekend, videos captured Trump's two caddies walking ahead of Trump's golf cart before one caddy appears to drop a ball on the course. Trump then hops out of the golf cart and walks to the ball as if it were there the whole time. The person Trump appeared to be playing with was following in his cart and walked over to the ball with Trump.

According to Dawsey, the team captured audio of Trump complaining that the Secret Service is in the trees and bushes all over his golf course as security — and measure shown to be necessary when a man was accused of shooting at Trump through a fence in Sept. 2024 while he was playing at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

According to Trump, the agents being in the trees at his courses "made it harder to move the ball when he had a bad lie," wrote Dawsy on X.

“I hit a ball down the fairway, it's in a little rough, and there's a guy standing behind a tree, 'Good morning, sir.' And I got a ball with a horrible lie. I'd go like this. Nobody would know the difference. I can't because, he said, they're all looking down at me horrible. It's a horrible situation to be in," Trump said of his security during his games.
