On Sunday, a video emerged that appeared to show President Donald Trump\u2019s caddie dropping a golf ball to help him cheat. According to one bestselling Trump biographer, the president has long paid caddies to look the other way as part of a mission to project his \u201csupposed virility.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the video in question, Trump drives his golf cart into the rough as a pair of caddies fan out, apparently searching for a lost ball. But then, one of the caddies tosses a ball onto the edge of the green, where it will be easier for Trump to manage. Author Seth Abramson, who penned three bestselling books on Trump\u2019s corruption, says that this is one of the president\u2019s old plays.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat people miss about this video is Trump slowing down his cart (which he shouldn’t be driving in the rough) because he knows the \u2018drop\u2019 is about to come,\u201d posted Abramson<\/u> over the video. \u201cTrump pays his caddies to give him fake golf scores he can then use as political chits underscoring his supposed virility.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Trump were forced to play a round of golf at a new course without a caddy he’d bribed,\u201d Abramson continued, \u201cwith a monitor watching him closely, and without the ability to drive a cart where he’s not allowed to, he’d shoot between 95 and 105. Any claim he’s a good golfer at this age is a farce.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump \u2014 who played in a tournament at his course in New Jersey over the weekend \u2014 claimed he won with a score of 70, posting of his opponents, \u201cIt’s called TALENT, and I have it, and they don’t!” The 80-year-old president declared, “I won with a score of 70, and am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, because I’m focused on many other things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abramson isn\u2019t the first to suggest that Trump has a history of cheating. According to People Magazine<\/u>, \u201cTrump has long portrayed himself as an accomplished golfer, frequently highlighting his tournament wins at courses that bear his name. His claims have often sparked debate, with critics questioning the legitimacy of some of his victories because they occurred at clubs he owns or operates. Sportswriter Rick Reilly, the author and author of Commander-in-Cheat, has repeatedly challenged Trump\u2019s golfing record.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know this because when I play with him, he goes, \u2018You know what I do to win these championships, don\u2019t ya?\u2019 and I go, \u2018Please tell me. Give it to me.\u2019 And he goes, \u2018Anytime I buy a new course, I play the first round all by myself and then I declare myself the club champion,\u2019\u201d Reilly said on his Deadline White House appearance<\/u> in March 2024. \u201cSo that\u2019s what kind of guy this is.\u201d<\/p>\n
