President Donald Trump is celebrating another golf tournament victory, and, in true Trump fashion, making sure everyone knows about it.
The 80-year-old commander in chief declared himself the winner of two championships at his own New Jersey golf club, the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, over the weekend, participating in another golf event during his second term as president. After his victory was declared, he took to Truth Social to not only boast about his achievements but also mock his opponents. The post sparked a wave of backlash from social media users, including those who mocked him back, suggesting the game was rigged and more.

Trump Celebrates Winning Another Championship At His Own Golf Club
The president announced that he had won both the Senior Club Championship and the Super Senior Club Championship at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey on Sunday, August 2nd, and did so with a heated Truth Social post. According to the president, he shot a two-under-par 70 despite having "very little time to practice" because of his duties in office.
He used the post to congratulate his fellow competitors before taking a jab at them, writing that they were "great golfers" but adding, "It's called TALENT, and I have it, they don't!" He then claimed that this victory was his 43rd club championship title and thanked the golf course staff for hosting what he called a "wonderful event."
The president has long been an avid golfer and has spent numerous weekends at his own courses during both of his terms in office. His victories at tournaments hosted at Trump-owned clubs have repeatedly attracted attention, with supporters praising his game while others have questioned the circumstances surrounding many of his wins.
