The clip quickly went viral on social media, prompting widespread discussion and accusations of rule-bending.
Past Accusations Surface
This incident echoes previous claims made by public figures regarding Trump’s golfing conduct. Actor **Samuel L. Jackson** previously suggested Trump had cheated during a game they played, though **Trump** denied the encounter.
Comedian **Anthony Anderson** also shared his experiences, stating in a 2016 interview that while he wouldn’t directly accuse Trump of cheating, his caddies often did. **Anderson** recounted specific instances of perceived advantageous ball placements.
Sportswriter **Rick Reilly** has been a vocal critic, alleging in 2019 that Trump frequently manipulated his ball position and even claimed others’ shots. Reilly famously quipped, “To say **Donald Trump** cheats is like saying Michael Phelps swims.”
In fact, a 2021 report found that **Donald Trump** played an average of 324 rounds of golf per year during his presidency, underscoring his frequent time on the course (Newsweek, 2021).
“Commander-in-Cheat” Moniker
Online commentary on the latest video included a user calling him “Commander-in-Cheat,”
while another humorously suggested a golf partnership with **Kim Jong Un**.
The social media reaction highlights a recurring theme surrounding **Trump’s** golf game, with many referencing past controversies as confirmation of a pattern of alleged rule-bending.
