Trump's "THANKSGIVING CALL" to U.S. Troops: "I know a lot about golf. I've won 38 club championships..." [View all]

In a livestreamed call Thursday with troops from bases around the world, Trump was asked his true golf handicap and if he and former President Joe Biden are ever going to play a match.

Trump claimed he had invited Biden, but he never showed up, but dodged the question about his own golf handicap except to suggest it was far better than his predecessor’s. In an extended brag, he also insisted that his dozens of tournament wins were all “legitimate.”

Trump has gone golfing on nearly 25 percent of the days he’s been back in office, according to a website that tracks his time on the green.

“I know a lot about golf. I’ve won 38 club championships, and I don’t get to practice much. I won one last year,” he said. “I won a club championship at a big club, beating a 27-year-old kid. I said, ‘You know, I’m decades older than you.’ But I said, ‘The fairway doesn’t know how old you are as you walk up the middle and he’s in the rough.’ And, uh, I’ve been a good golfer over the years.”
