Video shows Trump caught cheating at golf course, internet says 'Him and Kim Jong Un would be insane scramble partners'

During his trip to Europe, US President Donald Trump decided to visit some of his golf courses and play a few rounds of the sport he loves the most. Trump's love for golf is no secret.

But a camera captured a moment where one of the caddies in Trump's party decided to help him out more than what is allowed. A video filmed from inside a nearby building captured the moment Trump arrived at Turnberry, pulling up in a golf cart just left of the fairway—facing a bunker ahead and a patch of light fescue to his left.

As two caddies passed by, one paused, bent slightly, and discreetly dropped a ball in front of the president. Moments later, Trump stepped out of the cart, club in hand, and walked toward the ball as if preparing to take a shot. The footage cuts off just before he swings.

Trump caught cheating at golf

Social media users soon got hold of the video that appeared to show the US President cheating in the sport he claims to love. This is the latest in a long line of cheating accusations against the 79-year-old on the golf course. The clip went viral on social media, with multiple commenters calling out the 79-year-old for 'cheating'.

"Who needs a foot wedge when you have a personal ball dropper???" wrote one commenter on X, formerly Twitter.

Another account posted, "Him and Kim Jong Un would be INSANE scramble partners".

One account which appears to belong to a PGA professional commented, "Such a perfect metaphor for our Commander-in-Cheat."

"Wild...Looks like I need these fellas as Caddies with the way I hit it anymore," another post joked.

If Trump did indeed hit that ball, it's not the first time that he's been accused of 'cheating' in the past.

Trump reportedly played 18 holes with his son Eric and US Ambassador Warren Stephens at Turnberry during the trip that included trade talks with EU chief Ursula von der Leyen. During the President's first term in office back in 2019, a book named 'Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump,' was published by author Rick Reilly.

In the book, Reilly dissects Trump's relationship with golf, accusing the President of cheating."To say 'Donald Trump cheats' is like saying 'Michael Phelps swims,'" Reilly wrote. "He cheats at the highest level. He cheats when people are watching, and he cheats when they aren't.

"He cheats whether you like it or not. He cheats because that's how he plays golf... if you're playing golf with him, he's going to cheat."

Earlier this year, film star Samuel L. Jackson accused him of cheating when the pair played a round together. Asked who the better golfer was, the Pulp Fiction actor said: 'Oh, I am, for sure. I don't cheat.'

Taking to social media to reply to Jackson, Trump responded by saying he had never played with him on a course. Jackson's opinion is one echoed by fellow actor Anthony Anderson, as he accused Trump of cheating back in 2016.

During an appearance on the Late Night With Seth Meyers that year, Anderson said: 'Trump is a great golfer. I'm not going to say Trump cheats. His caddy cheats for him.'

Asked on whether he saw Trump cheat with his own eyes, Anderson replied: 'Oh yes, several times. Several times'.
