Biden and Trump argue about their golf handicap in the middle of the debate: “That’s the biggest lie of all”
Sf there is a sport that could come up during the electoral debate that Joe Biden and Donald Trump they kept last night, that’s the golf. It is well known that both contenders for the presidency of the United States They are practitioners and Trump is also the owner of an important empire related to this sport. The former president and the current president discussed numerous relevant issues, but when talking about physical training in which they are located, golf sneaked in.
The fact is that during the debate they were asked Trump, 78, and Biden, 81, about his age and condition. The former president insisted that he had easily passed multiple cognitive tests and was “in very good shape.” Then he boasted that this year he had won two “non-senior” club championships golf. “To do that, you have to be pretty smart and you have to be able to hit the ball very far.”Trump noted.
The New Yorker then attacked Biden: “He can’t hit a ball 50 yards (45 meters)”. The current tenant of the White House counterattacked: “When I was vice president, I lowered my handicap to six”, stated the president. Besides, He challenged his rival to a match, but only if Trump carried his own suit: “Do you think you can do it?” Biden said.
The matter was still not settled, since Trump described as “the biggest lie of all” that Biden’s handicap was 6. Donald added: “I’ve seen your swing. I know your swing”. “Let’s not act like children,” Trump said later. The president replied: “You are a child.”
Let us remember that Donald Trump owns 18 golf resorts around the worldincluding the legendary Trump Turnberry -definitively removed from the British rotation since the assault on the US Capitol- and Trump International Doralwhich hosts a LIV Golf tournament.
