Joe Biden earned a loud laugh from the audience at a Democratic fundraiser in New York City with a comment about Donald Trump’s golf game. Late-night TV host Stephen Colbert, who was compering Thursday’s event at Radio City Music Hall, teed up the joke by telling the president:

“Donald Trump, as far as we can tell, has just been trying to win a third championship at his own golf course. My question to you, sir. Can voters trust a presidential candidate who has not won a single Trump International Golf Club trophy? At long last. Sir, have you no chip-shot?”

Biden, who appeared on stage alongside former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, said he’d be “happy to play” presumptive GOP nominee Trump. In fact, the president claimed he once challenged Trump to a round when he was Obama’s vice president.

Biden even offered Trump an advantage, he said, but on one condition. “I told him once before when he came into the Oval [before Trump was sworn into office]. I said, ‘I’ll give you three strokes if you carry your own bag.’” Whether or not Biden actually made the comment to Trump is unclear. But the audience lapped up the line, perhaps at the notion of golf cart aficionado Trump dragging his clubs around 18 holes.

1. Hell, if he just had to walk 18 holes with no golfing

I doubt he could do it, without the bag.

4. Chump couldn't even walk down one fairway, let alone 18

In fact I think that's why he loves golf so much - to drive the golf carts. He doesn't drive real cars and hasn't for years. I'll bet he doesn't even own a drivers license.

12. Trump wouldn't walk 700 yards at the G7 summit.

President Trump chose to ride in a golf cart while his foreign counterparts took a walk through Taormina, Sicily, on Saturday during the Group of Seven summit.

The Times of London reported the six other world leaders — from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan — walked 700 yards to take a group photo at a piazza in a hilltop town. The U.S. leader decided to wait until he could get a golf cart.

Trump was late for the photo, but joined the other world leaders during the walk down from the piazza.

2. Joe's got some good writers!

Humor is the best way to win over undecides & to humiliate Trump.

Great strategy, Mr. President!!

5. Yes, he really does

So far, his campaign is doing everything right and I'm sure Trump is livid.

11. I remember reading that he hired a guy who used to work for the Daily Show

3. Mockery is the best policy against these assholes

I know everybody, including myself, isn't happy with Carville after his old man misogynistic slip a week or 2 ago which I'm sure Mary still has him sleeping in the woodshed for. But a couple months ago James was making some opinion show rounds and that was his message. Mock the shit out of these people. They cannot stand to be mocked, it boils their fake blue blood. I agree with him

[BlueKota]

7. I completely agree

Turn the tables and show who the true "snowflakes" are. They are fine and even proud of acting like racists and fascists, but no one is allowed to call them that.

[BlueKota]

6. Well Trump is a wind bag

so maybe he'd qualify as carrying his own bag just by walking himself around a golf course.

[JoseBalow]

8. Who wore it better?

[bello]

9. Not enough.

You’d also need honest brokers to keep score.

[RussBLib]

10. Absolutely, make Trump promise no cheating

....and keep cameras on the orange oaf to ensure he doesn't cheat.

13. Saw a great ad on electric billboard today

10th avenue ... west palm beach by i-95

Trump in his enormous white shirt and stupid red hat, swinging golf club...

TRUMP CHEATS AT GOLF

wish I could have taken a picture. It was hilarious

14. Sportswriter Who Golfed With Trump Reveals Exactly How He Cheats At The Game

TFG cheats at every thing and cannot accept that he loses at anything. I am seeing a number of articles poking fun at TFG's cheating at golf.

Sportswriter Rick Reilly is calling BS on Donald Trump after the former president declared himself the winner of both the club championship and senior club championship at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida.

“He’s never won a championship at a course he doesn’t own and operate,” Reilly, who has golfed with Trump, said on MSNBC on Tuesday. “He’s played in Pebble Beach, he’s played in the Tahoe one, where there are rules and judges and cameras. And in those, he’s never finished in the top half. So he wins when anybody who disagrees that he won is out of the club. That’s how he gets it.”

Reilly, who wrote an entire book on how Trump cheats at golf, said the former president even confessed one of his methods: When he buys a golf course, he plays the first round alone and declares himself the course champion.

And that’s not the only trick up Trump’s sleeve.

Reilly said golfers have to trust each other because of the vast distances on the course and the fact that no referees are keeping watch ― and Trump takes full advantage of that.

The former president “always gets a turbo-charged golf cart that goes three times as fast as yours, so he’s always 200 yards ahead, and that gives him time to cheat.”

TFG hates these articles and so it fun seeing Biden mock TFG and his golf game
