Donald Trump just announced he won another golf club championship, and so it is that time of year again.
You know, that when author Rick Reilly shows up to remind people that he believes the president is a big-time golf cheat. Trump announced his win on Truth Social Sunday.
“I just won the Golf Club Championship, probably my last, at Trump International Golf Club, in Palm Beach County, Florida,” the president wrote on his account. “Such a great honor! The awards dinner is tonight, at the Club. I want to thank the wonderful Golf Staff, and all of the many fantastic golfers, that participated in the even. Such fun!”
Reilly shared a screen shot of that post on X and responded.
“REALLY? THAT’S AMAZING, SIR!” Reilly wrote. “CONGRATS TO YOU, THE CADDIES WHO KICK YOUR BALL OUT OF THE ROUGH, THE STOOLIES WHO LET YOU WIN OR GET THROWN OUT OF THE CLUB, THE SPINELESS PRO AT YOUR CLUB WHO DOESN’T WANT TO GET FIRED, AND THE 100S OF FEET OF GIMMIES YOU GIVE YOURSELF! BRAVO!”
It was the third consecutive club championship that the 78-year-old Trump has claimed which is pretty amazing. Unless, of course, you believe Reilly’s assertions. The author has written a book entitled “Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump.” He has also golfed with Trump, and he has made a habit of ringing the alarm each time the president claims another title.
“He’s never won a championship at a course he doesn’t own and operate,” Reilly said after Trump claimed he won the title last year. “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 elaborated further, claiming that Trump gets a “turbo-charged golf cart” so that he can get ahead of the competition and put some distance between him and them, giving him “time to cheat.”
Reilly also appeared on CNN last year where he laid into Trump again.
“He cheats like a mafia accountant,” he reportedly said. “He cheats crazy. He cheats whether you’re watching or not. He cheats whether you like it or not. He kicks the ball out of the rough so many times the caddies call him Pelé.
