"I helped him a lot"- Donald Trump quick to boast about playing with Bryson DeChambeau, mocks President Joe Biden's golf skills
Donald Trump spoke about his golfing skills soon after playing a "Break-50" round with Bryson DeChambeau. The former American President recently collaborated with the LIV golfer for a YouTube video, which went viral on the internet. Trump praised his own golfing skills and claimed that he helped DeChambeau with his game.
During one of his recent rallies, Trump addressed the public, praising his own golfing skills and mocking Joe Biden. However, he was also impressed with Bryson DeChambeau's golfing abilities, complimenting the two-time Major winner.
“I helped him (Bryson) a lot," Trump said (via Nuclear Golf on X). “He’s the longest hitter on Tour, he just won the U.S. Open, he’s a handsome guy, he’s a great guy, he loves the people, loves the country"
Trump went on to mock Joe Biden's golfing skills through actions. He said:
"That became the number one trending thing because Joe Biden, who I watched, you know, I was always a nice athlete, a really good athlete, but I don't wanna brag. So what happened? Joe Biden challenged me to a round of golf. He challenged me," he added.
Notably, Biden and Trump are both avid golfers and are often spotted playing the sport. Their golfing skills became the talk of the town after Trump criticized Biden's abilities during last month's presidential debate.
