It would be funny/tragic if it turned out that cheating at golf is what did him in.
Shortly after he became president, Trump played with Tiger Woods, the current world No. 1 Dustin Johnson and the veteran PGA Tour pro Brad Faxon. Given the quality and profile of his companions, you might have thought Trump would have been on his best behavior. Not so.
On one hole, Trump dunked a shot into the lake, but as his opponents weren’t looking he simply dropped another ball — and then hit that into the water, too.
“So he drives up and drops where he should’ve dropped the first time and hits it on the green,” recalls Faxon.
Apparently someone was looking.
During a game with Mike Tirico before Trump was elected, the former ESPN football announcer hit the shot of his life, a 230-yard 3-wood towards an elevated green he couldn’t see. But he knew it was close.
When he got to the putting green, however, Tirico’s ball was nowhere to be seen. Instead, it was 50 feet left of the hole in a bunker.
It made no sense — until Trump’s caddy caught up with him after the round.
“Trump’s caddy came up to me and said, ‘You know that shot you hit on the par 5?’” Tirico says. “‘It was about 10 feet from the hole. Trump threw it in the bunker. I watched him do it.’”
Well the caddy is probably Adam Schiff’s cousin or something.

He like some P.G. Wodehouse character, isn’t he?
Done in by cheating? This is the kind of story that could get him re-elected!
Only pencil necks play by the rules!
Can’t even let pros who PLAY GOLF PROFESSIONALLY beat him. He’s gotta big the Bigliest and Bestest at EVERYTHING. What a petty, pathetic loser.
“That makes me smart.”
Smartest guy in every room!
It’s one thing to cheat on your own shots. But to cheat others out of THEIR shots? That’s chutzpah on steroids. Absolutely sociopathic.
