Donald Trump Reportedly Cheated to Beat an 11-Year-Old in Golf

[CatWoman]

A veteran sportswriter who has written a book exploring President Donald Trump’s relationship to the game of golf reports that Trump once cheated to beat an 11-year-old child.

Rick Reilly spoke with Vox about his book Commander in Cheat, and related the most outrageous alleged cheating story he knew about Trump.

Reilly noted Trump currently advertises he won a 2018 club championship at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida, but wasn’t there for the actual tournament due to peace talks with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in Singapore.

When Trump returned to the club, he spotted the winner, film financier Ted Virtue, playing a round of golf with his son “who I think is 10 or 11 years old,” Reilly said.

Reilly then alleges Trump challenged Virtue and his son to play six holes for the club championship.

“They get to a hole with a big pond on it. Both Ted and his son hit the ball on the green, and Trump hits his in the water. By the time they get to the hole, Trump is lining up the kid’s ball. Only now it’s his ball and the caddie has switched it,” Reilly said.

Reilly said Virtue’s son tried to protest, but the president’s caddie said “No, this is the president’s ball; your ball went in the water.”

Trump then made the putt and declared himself the club champion, according to Reilly.

[Me.]

1. How Low Can You Go

and really, the father should've intervened

[BeyondGeography]

3. His whole life has been a search for the bottom

How low? We’ll know when he stops breathing.

[Me.]

6. Not Low Enough

though the pits of hell might suffice

[11 Bravo]

35. Damn, I wish he'd find it!

A free dive into the Challenger Deep sounds about right to me.

[Demovictory9]

43. sad but true

[maddiemom]

46. I hope the father is no longer forking out membership dues...at least.

[olegramps]

49. If the caddie did this as alleged he should be banned from all courses.

The bottom line is that the entire Trump family are nothing more than low life trash. Trump's father was a champion asshole, racist and cheat who instilled his son with the same vile lack of basic morality. It is impossible to deal with a person who is amoral since they don't have a conscience. He is cut out of the same rotten putrid garbage as was Hitler and his ilk. I believe that most would agree that Hitler should have never been born, but since he was it was a failure of his fellow mankind to condemn him they share in his guilt. People who have been elected to office who are not only failing to hold him accountable share, but applaud his evilness share in this tragedy.

50. Correction on the article says Virtue's sons are in their 20s. It's still disgusting,

though.

[Blue Owl]

2. Where's the Jim McNaughton fantasy painting re-enacting this scene?

n/t

[Generic Other]

4. In my head

You are hilarious!!

[Grokenstein]

14. No doubt he's brushing in the halo around TheDolt's head even now. n/t

[smirkymonkey]

5. What a despicable POS!

He's such a worm he has to cheat against a child! Is there no low this man won't sink to?

[NBachers]

7. This reminds me of the scene in Goldfinger where Goldfinger cheats James Bond on the golf course.

[sdfernando]

8. Of course the orange pustule cheated an 11 year old

I've come to expect nothing less from that vile waste of skin (if that orange covering is really skin!)

[A HERETIC I AM]

9. Why can't these dipshit writers do 5 seconds of Google searching?

There is no god damned "Mar-A-Lago Club" Golf Course.

Trump plays at a course he owns located almost 4 miles away from Mar-A-Lago, situated south of the WPB Airport.

https://goo.gl/maps/QtjUYGnr3jDZxxy17

Geographical fuckups like this annoy me!

Doesn't diminish the fact that we have a fucking toddler for a president, but there you go.

[Jakes Progress]

18. He learned a lesson from his father.

If his dad cowed to trump and told his son just to suck it up, the kid learned how to be a suck-up and coward. Way to go, Dad.

[A HERETIC I AM]

21. Apparently when Trump plays golf with anyone, he tees off first, REGARDLESS if he has "honors"....

or not, then jumps in his cart and speeds off down the fairway so he can get to his ball out of sight, or at least way ahead of the others he is supposedly playing with.

Knowing that, if I was playing with him, I would park my cart behind his, walk up to it and take the key out.

Then I would be restrained by his security as I headed toward him with an upraised 5-iron in my hands.

[MarcA]

27. Would have loved to see him try that with the late Tommy Bolt. n/t

[SergeStorms]

36. Just like there's no "Trump National Los Angeles"

It's 75 miles away from Los Angeles, CA. His "Trump National Philadelphia" isn't even in Pennsylvania, it's in New Jersey. Trump lies like that phony head of "hair" on his head. He has to lie. He has to be the "best" at everything, even if it means cheating an 11 year old child.

I've read "Commander in Cheat". The hundreds of examples of his cheating are stupefying, because everyone knows he's cheating, but many treat it as "entertainment" and shrug it off. I doubt many of these people he's played "golf" with voted for him. Golf is a gentlemen's game where your honesty and integrity are considered a barometer of who you are as a human being. Obvisouly, Trump is not a human being. He may resemble one in many regards, bit don't let him fool you.

[A HERETIC I AM]

37. I'm not sure if he ever suggested the golf course was on the beach/barrier island....

that is Palm Beach, but yeah, he seems to absolutely need to lie about the most petty, nonsensical shit! It's amazing.

Like the claim the other day that a bunch of "his generals" told him the Robert E. Lee was their "favorite" general.

Seriously?

Regarding the cheating....yeah....there has been a lot of commentary on that subject, especially since the book came out.

The impression I get from those comments I have read on it is essentially 'What the hell ya gonna do? It's fucking Donald Trump! You just aren't going to win, no matter what. He is paying for the round. He will do the stupidest shit, (like pick up your ball from where it lies 2 feet from the hole, and throw it into the sand trap before you get to the green and claim that's where it landed) and then say he won the hole. And then he buys lunch and/or drinks.'

[Texin]

10. Well, that kid certainly got an object lesson if nothing else.

I'll bet that's something he'll never forget. How pathetic does one have to be to do that? Despicable, but then we know he cheats everyone so why would a kid be exempt?

[shanti]

11. Ugh

Makes one want to kick him in the nads.

[ToxMarz]

12. Virtue's son tried to protest, what about Virtue himself?

Trump made Virtue his cuck, and Virtue let him do it IN FRONT OF HIS SON!

[malaise]

13. Lack of

Virtue

[sop]

19. The ironically named Ted Virtue

[malaise]

26. Teehe

[Duppers]

22. That's the way some parents act in the face of...

..corrput power.


(My own mother often treated me this way. Any authority was right and I had none. And yes, she was very much an authoritarian rethugian.)

[blue neen]

15. Of course he did!

Trump is that sick.

[fierywoman]

16. And this is how you Be Best.

[Jakes Progress]

17. I would like that anecdote to hit the airwaves.

Of course, the father and son would never come forward with the story. They fear him. That's the kind of people who play golf with the orange marshmallow.

[Kingofalldems]

20. Kick this one.

Link to tweet

[Totally Tunsie]

23. IMO, the most pathetic part of this story is that this incident occurred

while tRump was pResident. Bad enough to be playing against citizen cheater, but this was against pResident cheater. tRump disgraces the presidency like no other before him, and God forbid we ever encounter a greater disgrace in the future.

He's a sick, sick cretin.

[BobTheSubgenius]

24. IT is certainly plausible, at the very least.

Pathetic, and typical.

[Blue Owl]

25. The best part is...

He claimed it under a tax write-off as "sporting"...

[yardwork]

28. I'm speechless. This is...,

[kskiska]

29. I guess this is why we never see him playing golf with his own son.

We were once told that Barron has played golf.

[Doodley]

30. To be fair to Donald Trump, he would have

cried about losing against an 11 year old until the day he died, he would be in a terrible temper, and he would hold a grudge against the kid and try to get even.

[jmowreader]

31. The best part of this whole story...

...is Trump had to cheat to beat a kid who’s younger than Trump’s golf clubs.

[StarfishSaver]

32. I LOVE Rick Reilly

He may "just" be talking about golf, but he's revealing so much about Trump and in language and a context lots of people can understand.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

33. The story's been corrected. The son was not 11. He was in his 20s.

Which makes a lot more sense. How could an 11-year-old child play at an adult level?

Here's A Good Story About Donald Trump Cheating A Child At Golf [CORRECTION]

David Roth
Today 2:07pm

CORRECTION (May 10, 4:06 p.m. ET): Vox appended the following correction to its post this afternoon: “In an earlier version of this article, the interviewee mischaracterized the age of Ted Virtue’s son who played golf with Trump. All of Virtue’s sons are at least in their 20s, not child-age. We sincerely regret the error.” I sincerely regret it, too.

It has long been known that Donald Trump cheats at golf. Not a little, either, but cheats with exactly the same degree of oafish balls-out shamelessness that he does everything else. Stories about this have circulated for a long time, to the point where they have taken on a sort of Mad Libs quality. Who can forget the time that Trump [threw/kicked/coaxed] a ball struck by [prominent sportscaster/longtime Days Of Our Lives cast member/thrice-divorced Florida chiropractor] into [a sand trap/a water hazard/a nearby alligator’s open mouth]? Try it yourself and enjoy a moment of outrage at Trump cheating egregiously so as to avoid losing a hole to David Charvet in match play.

There are enough of these stories out there that semi-retired journalist Rick Reilly was able to round them up into an entire book called Commander In Cheat. In promoting that book, Reilly has avowed that he remains a non-political person who was moved to write not by Trump’s broader grotesquerie but by the offenses that the president has visited upon the noble game of golf over his decades of relentless cheesy chiseling cheating. To the extent that receipts are necessary to prove something that everyone already knows to be true, Reilly seems to have them.

Many of the people that Reilly spoke to refused to attach their names to the stories they told, mostly because they understood that the current President of the United States is absolutely the sort of person who would pursue a scorched-earth campaign of retribution against anyone who insinuated that he was not, as he has often claimed, “the best golfer of all the rich people.” In an interview with Vox, Reilly tells a story about which the broad strokes have been known for some time—how Trump wheedled and bullied the financier and film producer Ted Virtue out of the club championship that Virtue had won at the Trump International Club in West Palm Beach.

[The Wizard]

34. I wouldn't piss in his mouth if his throat was on fire.

Biggest jerkoff of all time.

[calimary]

38. Figures. He may be over six feet tall, but he's still a VERY small man.

Damn near microscopic.

[SergeStorms]

39. He covered that in the book as well.

The 'Un-indicted co-conspirator in Chief" and his lies about his height, that is. The author, Rick Reilly, is 6'1" (he's played golf with Trump many times) and stands eye-to-eye with Trump. He's also played with Barack Obama, and he stands eye-to-eye with him as well. Obama is 6'1". Yet Trump says he's 6'3" and 239 lbs. At 6'1" he'd be obese, so he has real Doctors lie for him so he won't have to admit that fact! Just one look at Trump and you know he's lying, yet so many people don't seem to care. They're fine with that. That's what pisses me off the most I think, that his cult followers don't care a whit about whether he has any honesty and integrity or not. That says so much about them it astonishes me!

[calimary]

40. Unfortunately true. It just absolutely compels the immediate follow-up:

“...so then what does that say about them?

[reACTIONary]

41. Trump is always challenging Virtue nt

[treestar]

42. that's pathetic even if it was not an 11-year-old

he can't handle that he hit the ball into the water?

[demtenjeep]

44. of course he did

fat donnie is all about #fat donnie

[demigoddess]

45. My sister is like that- always has to win- at everything.

not a pleasant thing to be around.

[Scurrilous]

47. K&R

[paleotn]

48. A fraud by any other name is still a fraud.

He's been a fraud all his life.
