Former President Donald Trump continues to dominate the conversation, this time by delivering a humorous jab at President Joe Biden’s golf skills—or lack thereof. During a speech in Erie, Pennsylvania, Trump took the opportunity to mock Biden’s self-proclaimed athleticism, particularly his claim of being a seasoned golfer. For those who have watched Biden swing a club, the idea of him challenging anyone to a game of golf seems more absurd than a three-legged dog in a race.
Trump’s comedic routine involved imitating Biden as he “played” golf, which likely resembles a toddler trying to ride a unicycle. The former president made it abundantly clear that Biden isn’t going to win any golf tournaments anytime soon. He reminisced about Biden’s past tall tales, pointing out that the president has claimed to have done just about everything, from flying jets to driving 18-wheelers. So, why not throw golf into the mix? But Trump wasn’t buying it and stated that not only does Biden lack the skills on the course, but he never has had them.

Adding a layer of entertainment, Trump offered to challenge Biden to an 18-hole match, throwing in the generous offer of three strokes per side—this is the equivalent of giving your toddler a jump start in a footrace. Just for kicks, he even promised to donate $1 million to any charity of Biden’s choice if the current president could manage to come out on top. It’s a great offer, but let’s be honest: it’s about as likely as winning the lottery while also being struck by lightning.
The Biden campaign responded to Trump’s challenge with typical political flair, insisting that Biden is far too busy “leading America and defending the free world” to engage in a friendly game of golf. This response leaves many wondering what “leadership” looks like in the current administration when golf parties seem to be out of the question. After all, is attempting to play golf really so distracting from running the country, or is it more about avoiding the embarrassment of hitting the ball into the next zip code?
In the same speech, Trump took a swipe at the Democrats, suggesting that they might have been wiser to keep Biden in the presidential seat instead of handing the reins over to Vice President Kamala Harris. Citing Biden’s ability to attract votes—regardless of how low the bar might be—Trump pointed out that at least Biden had “a base,” while Kamala seems to have a support level reminiscent of the local chess club. Ultimately, it seems that no matter where one stands politically, the idea of Joe Biden on the golf course serves as yet another hilarious reminder of the current administration’s struggles.
