It's a tough Sunday for the "Trump can't ..." crowd. For months, the mainstream media pounced on President Donald J. Trump, claiming he was physically washed up and incapable of even swinging a golf club.

But on Sunday, No. 47 walked onto one of the toughest championship courses in the country, fired a 70, took the Senior Division title, and captured what he said was his 40th club championship title.

A reported 2-under round on a championship course is the sort of result that stands out regardless of who posts it. If you thought the Commander-in-Chief would walk away humbly, you don't know the guy.

Posting on Truth Social after the victory, President Trump said: "The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a score of 70, and am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I'm given very little time to practice, because I'm focused on many other things. It's called TALENT, and I have it, and they don't! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Let's put this into proper perspective because a 70 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster is not an average go.

Based on the score he reported, Trump finished 2-under par to claim the Senior crown.

In NFL terms, it's like watching Joe Namath throw a 40-yard touchdown pass in 2026.

A 70 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, is spectacular given the club's Tom Fazio-designed championship courses have hosted the U.S. Women's Open and LIV Golf events, and are packed with water hazards and deep bunkers.

The blue-check media spent months questioning Trump's stamina in ways they never did Joe Biden, insisting he couldn't navigate 18 holes.

Just like that time Putin scored eight goals in a KHL All Star game.

None.

His golf balls are made in a CIA lab.

My day “shot his age” at 79, and after a lifetime of golfing, that was cause for celebration in our family. He left us later that same year. I miss my dad every day.

Anyway, good going, President Trump! You did even better, shooting your age minus ten! And you’re still her to brag about it!

[Tommy Revolts]

I thought that too until I found out he has a 2.8 handicap.

All the nay sayers can’t stand it.No matter who advises the Pres. on his game,it’s him who hits the ball a ton,putts like
a demon,and I’m sure,plays an honest game. You go Big “D”.

Let me explain to you the difference between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats bought all of Biden’s bullshit. All of it. To the end, they thought he was sharp as a tack and the “best Biden ever”. Republicans are independent thinkers and don’t go along with the crowd. They’ll call out nonsense when they see it. If you want to be a boot-licking sycophant, then go ahead.

[Migraine]

If you want to make a moral equivalency between my president and the cadaver, like some other nitwits, go ahead. Sniper the man who stands athwart muslims, communists, globalists and the lamestream media. One day, maybe you’ll get your chance to vote for someone who is pure enough for you.

[bigdaddy45]

See, thats the difference between you and I. I trust ZERO politicians. Trump and his family are making money at a rate that would make even the Biden crime family blush, and meanwhile we are spending $2 TRILLION a year more than we take in as a nation. And what does Trump want to do? Spend an additional $500 BILLION a year on the war machine beyond the $1 Trillion we already do. Its madness.

But if you’re so far gone that you can’t poke fun at an 80 year old man who claimed he shot a 70 at golf, and disparage those who do, then its pretty clear you’ve become a cult member. (And obviously you know nothing about golf).
