Trump Goes On High-pitched Rant About Biden's Golfing Skills: 'He Makes Up These Stories'

Zinger Key Points
  • Trump mocked Biden's alleged six golf handicap.
  • Golf Digest previously ranked Biden's handicap at 6.7.

At a recent political gathering, the topic of golf handicaps became an unlikely point of contention between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.

What Happened: Trump couldn't resist expressing his disbelief over the current president's purported golf skills during a rally in Rapid City, SD, on Friday. 

At the event, where Trump was endorsed by Governor Kristi Noem, the former president referred to an alleged claim by Biden about having a six handicap in golf. The term is used to denote a player's ability, with a lower number indicating a better golfer, Mediaite reported

"He makes up these stories," Trump reportedly told the audience, his voice reaching a high pitch. "This guy. The worst is, did you ever see his golf swing?"

"Six handicap's a good golfer!" Trump continued. "You know what, these six handicaps, that’s a good golfer." 

The former president further cast doubts on Biden's golfing claims, humorously noting that Biden couldn't even "hit the ball to Kristi."
