Donald Trump tried to impress the kids with his golf skills on the putting green and it went just as well as you’d expect
Of all the things Donald Trump lies about, he lies the most about his golf skills.
The President claims he has won 38 championship golf tournaments. Weirdly, nobody has footage of any of those wins.
What there is a lot of footage of is Trump riding around in a golf cart and his handlers kicking, picking up, and moving errant shots all over the course.
Finally, there is live footage of Trump handling a club. The results did not validate his claims.
At an event promoting the return of the Presidential Fitness Test, Trump grabbed a putter and tried to knock in a couple of gimme putts on the green in front of visiting school children.
He went oh-for-three and then walked away.
At the WH physical fitness event today, Trump takes the kids outside to demonstrate his athletic ability with a little putting display. He misses every putt before giving up. pic.twitter.com/yYLQhHEEih

Not exactly the type of golfing prowess that align with a 38 time champion.
The sports fans in the comments noticed the disconnect between his boasts and his skills and called him out loudly.

I’m surprised he didn’t make the kids give him a trophy. https://t.co/c8hCHr3FVy

You would think someone who golfs more than he presides, and put a putting green in the White House, would maybe be a little bit good at it.
33-time club champion everyone….

Are you kidding me? All that taxpayer money spent golfing and he can’t even make a single putt? https://t.co/9DdeDZxzI0

So Biden made him miss that shot? Or Obama…?

Even the greats, like a 33X golf champion have off days.
Surely Michael Jordan has missed 3 slam dunks in a row before. Right?
No you say.
Hmmm, perhaps the balls were tampered with by those sneaky Dems. https://t.co/smLuET6o7a— 🇨🇦 Canadagraphs 🇺🇦 (@canadagraphs) May 5, 2026
