"Proving once again he's a con artist through and through."
President Donald Trump was accused of cheating during his golf round on Sunday by the gallery, otherwise known as the internet.
The viral video shared by anti-right-wing site PatriotTakes shows the president’s caddie casually dropping a ball away from higher grass near a bunker. That prompted observers to allege the once-dubbed “commander in cheat” took liberties for an easier shot at Trump Turnberry in Scotland.

Among the possible violations for shady play that emerged: A caddie is not allowed to drop the ball after a player takes a drop for hitting a ball into an unplayable situation. And if this isn’t a drop and merely a ploy to improve the position of a playable ball, Trump would be defying “a central principle” of the game: “play the ball as it lies.”
Some made the fraud allegation harshly. “This is our president…Trump cheats in literally fucking everything he does,” one person wrote on X.
The clip doesn’t show what ensued, but Trump carries baggage on the course (if not his clubs). Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump, author Rick Reilly said that Trump “cheats like a mafia accountant.” As for the titles Trump has claimed to win, they’re “as fake as Velveeta cheese,” according to Reilly.
Reilly reacted to the clip with signature snark on X. “Well I’m just personally very disappointed in him,” Reilly wrote.
Sometimes, other people make unbelievable boasts about Trump, such as the time Kevin O’Leary claimed Trump, then 78, shot a 68.

Trump's shameless golf cheating, having his caddie drop a ball for a better lie outside the bunker, exposes the same fraudulent tactics he employs in politics, proving once again he's a con artist through and through.

Watch it carefully, the caddy drops the ball for him. Trump has to cheat at his own course.
