President Donald Trump on Sunday bragged about winning yet another golf championship ― but not everyone is buying it.
The president wrote on his Truth Social website that he and partner Tommy Urciuoli won the member-member championship at Trump’s Bedminster golf club.
Trump has a remarkable record of success at golf, but much of that success comes on his own courses, including at least three other championships at Trump clubs this year alone.
Sportswriter Rick Reilly ― who has golfed with Trump ― has said in the past there’s a reason for that: He cheats.
Reilly told MSNBC last year that Trump cheats “like a mafia accountant” and called his championships “fake as Velveeta cheese.”
“He’s never won a championship at a course he doesn’t own and operate,” Reilly said. “He’s played in Pebble Beach, he’s played in the Tahoe one, where there are rules and judges and cameras. And in those, he’s never finished in the top half. So he wins when anybody who disagrees that he won is out of the club. That’s how he gets it.”
Reilly wrote an entire book on how Trump cheats at golf.
Trump’s critics on social media also found it hard to believe that the president won yet another championship ― and, again, on a course he owns:
Another championship for Trump today in one of his tournaments. The guy never loses in his own events. pic.twitter.com/iigfpv5AHZ

He’s the best golf cheat around. He should receive a trophy for it.

Authoritarian leaders routinely “winning” sporting events is a well-established thing.
See Putin & hockey, Kim Jung Il’s multiple holes in 1 in his 1st ever round of golf, & Turkmenistan’s Berdymukhamedov falling off his horse after a race “win”.
It’s part of the strongman MO. https://t.co/mXclm2zoW4

🤣 – Does Trump ever lose at his own tournaments? Kinda easy to win when you’re the only one playing. And of course he squeezed in “between meetings and phone calls” — classic narcissist move. You know what isn’t between meetings? Releasing the Epstein files. Do it, coward.…
