Donald Trump ‘Hits’ Joe Biden With Brutal Golf-Themed Jab After Debate

In the aftermath of a contentious debate, former President Donald Trump is not letting go of the golf argument stated in the debate.

Trump, known for his love of the game, could not resist using it as a metaphor to criticize President Joe Biden. During the debate, both leaders made several surprising statements about each other, but it was Trump’s golf reference that is making headlines.

Former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden’s debate took a hilarious turn when it became about golfing.

The golf spat with Biden seems to have hit a nerve for Trump, judging by his reaction on social media. Following their heated debate, the 78-year-old took to Instagram to share several clips ridiculing the President.

One particularly provocative post featured an edited video from last year. The clip, intended as a humorous jab, appeared to show Trump hitting a golf ball that struck Biden and knocked him down. 

The footage used was from an incident where Biden stumbled at the Air Force Academy. The captionless video quickly went viral, amassing nearly eight hundred thousand likes and generating over ten thousand comments from followers and counting.

The reactions ranged from amusement to outrage, highlighting the nature of the ongoing political rivalry.

The presumptive Republican nominee supporters praised the video, with one user commenting, “Slam dunk,” indicating that Trump’s message hit its mark. 

Another user suggested, “We need a presidential golf tournament,” with some even proposing a golf match to decide the next president, as one commenter wrote, “Whoever wins the golf match is president.”

A fourth remarked, “Trump’s the funniest. You are the man.” Prominent figures like Piers Morgan found the clip humorous, as evidenced by his comment featuring three laughing emojis.

However, not everyone appreciated the humor. One critic advised Trump to “Focus on the debate!” while another rebuked him, saying, “Trump has taken to show this nonsense. Trying unsuccessfully to make himself look better.”

Some comments reflected frustration with the political landscape. One user felt both candidates performed poorly, stating, “Don’t be delusional. They were both trash last night.”

The golf-themed mockery’s origins can be traced back to the June 27 presidential debate between Trump and Biden.

The Blast noted that moderator Dana Bash’s question to both candidates about the public’s concerns regarding their age sparked barbs.

In his response, Trump boasted about his cognitive abilities, mentioning that he had taken multiple cognitive tests during his presidency. After suggesting that Biden should take an “easy” test, he stated:

“I just won two club championships this year. Not even senior, Two regular club championships. To do that, you have to be quite smart, and you have to be able to hit the ball a long way, and I do it. He [Biden] doesn’t do it. He can’t hit a ball 5o yards. He challenged me to a golf match… he can’t hit a ball 50 yards.”

Biden, refusing to back down took a swing at Trump’s golf claims, pointing out that he had managed to reduce his golf handicap to six during his time as vice president.

The 81-year-old quipped, “By the way, I told you before I’m happy to play golf with you if you carry your own bag. Think you can do it?”

Unimpressed, Trump accused Biden of lying about his handicap, stating, “I have seen your swing. I know your swing.”

After the highly anticipated showdown on the debate stage hosted by CNN, the first presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and incumbent President Joe Biden ended with a clear perception among viewers that Trump had the upper hand.

CNN, in partnership with SSRS, conducted a poll among registered voters who tuned in to watch the debate. The results were resounding: 63% of debate watchers believed that Trump outperformed Biden. 

This sentiment was particularly strong among Republican viewers, with an overwhelming 96% expressing that Trump did a better job compared to only 69% of Democratic viewers who felt Biden won.

The debate largely centered on issues of leadership, policies, and each candidate’s ability to handle the presidency.

A significant 85% of GOP watchers felt that Trump effectively addressed concerns raised during the debate, whereas 53% of viewers supporting Biden thought he did a better job on these fronts.

Interestingly, despite the perceived victory for Trump, the majority of debate watchers, about 81%, indicated that the debate did not sway their decision on who to support in the upcoming election. 

However, 14% admitted that while it made them reconsider, it ultimately did not change their choice, while 5% revealed that the debate caused them to switch their allegiance to a different candidate.
