President Donald Trump was accused of cheating during his golf round on Sunday by the gallery, otherwise known as the internet.
The viral video shared by anti-right-wing site PatriotTakes shows the president’s caddie casually dropping a ball away from higher grass near a bunker. That prompted observers to allege the once-dubbed “commander in cheat” took liberties for an easier shot at Trump Turnberry in Scotland.
Among the possible violations of shady play that emerged: A caddie is not allowed to drop the ball after a player takes a drop for hitting a ball into an unplayable situation. And if this isn’t a drop and merely a ploy to improve the position of a playable ball, Trump would be defying one of the game’s “central principles”: “play the ball as it lies.”
Some made the fraud allegation harshly.
“This is our president…Trump cheats in literally fucking everything he does,” one person wrote on X.
