Trump’s Cheating Habits on the Golf Course: A Deep Dive

In the world of politics and business, Donald Trump is known for his aggressive approach and relentless drive to win. But his competitive nature seems to extend to his golf game as well. A recent book, Commander in Cheat, written by legendary sports journalist Rick Reilly, dives deep into the former president’s golf habits – and the alleged cheating that comes with them.

Trump’s Golf Achievements: Fact or Fiction?

Trump has often boasted about his golf skills, claiming to have won 18 tournaments. However, Independent research by Reilly reduced that number to a mere four. It seems that Trump’s modus operandi is to exaggerate his achievements to maintain his self-proclaimed status as a “winner”. This pattern doesn’t stop on the golf course – it extends to his dealings in the global economy.

The Art of the Cheat

Trump’s tendency to bend – or break – the rules is nothing new. Here are just a few examples from the book:

• Kicking the ball with his foot after his first drive
• Running to the hole and replacing his ball with one he had hidden in his pocket
• Lying about the number of strokes he took

According to Reilly, Trump’s cheating isn’t subtle. He does it in plain sight, without a hint of remorse. “It’s like playing against an alien,” says one of his former caddies.

Trump’s Cheating: A Psychological Perspective

Harvard psychiatrist Lanance Dodes believes that Trump’s behavior can be attributed to his narcissistic personality disorder. In Other words, he can’t stand not winning and will do whatever it takes to come out on top. He lacks empathy for others and has no qualms about bending – or breaking – the rules to achieve his goals.

Trump’s Unilateral Approach: Nothing New in Golf or Politics

Trump’s unilateral and arbitrary approach isn’t confined to the golf course. It’s reflected in his approach to international trade. Just as he decides the rules in his golf games, he imposes tariffs without regard for the consequences they may have on the global economy.

Passing the Blame

The pervasive attitude among Trump’s employees seems to be:

“It is the president of the USA. How am I going to tell him that he has been cheating in front of my noses?

Trump’s unique brand of leadership, characterized by blatant disregard for rules and lack of accountability, seems to trickle down to those around him.

Trump’s Impact on the Golf Industry

Trump’s questionable business practices also extend to his impact on the golf industry. Architect Andrew Tesoro, who designed one of Trump’s golf courses, was left hanging after demanding $100,000 for unpaid services. Trump argued that Tesoro had incurred a commercial deficit by making the course more expensive than expected.

This aligns with Trump’s approach to international trade. When negotiating deals, he seems to prioritize his own interests over those of others, without regard for agreements or long-term consequences.

The Future of Trump’s presidency: A Never-Ending Game of Golf?

The possibility of Trump running for president again in 2024 looms large. However, the potential First Lady’s willingness to return to the White House seems uncertain. Golf – and its rules – may be the only constant in Trump’s unpredictable world.
