President Biden poked fun at former President Trump for boasting about winning two golf trophies at his own golf club’s awards last night on Sunday.

“Congratulations, Donald. Quite the accomplishment,” Biden wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Biden attached a screengrab of Trump’s post earlier in the night on Truth Social.

“It is my great honor to be at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach tonight, AWARDS NIGHT, to receive THE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY & THE SENIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY. I WON BOTH!” Trump wrote in the Truth Social post.

    The man is such a pathetic loser that he has to resort to completely making up new awards out of the blue and awarding them to himself. Seriously, you can’t make this shit up.

    And a sizeable portion portion of the people in this country treat this man as a demigod. That fact alone should tell you how bad the meth and fentanyl problems are in this country, because a brain rotted by meth and fentanyl are the only explanations I can think of why thinking that anything Trump says even makes sense, let alone has value.

    I thought this article was even funnier because it added:

    Trump’s golf brand congratulated its leader last week for wrapping up a trifecta of home course wins dating back to January.

    “Congratulations to @realdonaldtrump on winning the Club Championship at @TrumpPalmBeach, his third win this year alone following the Senior and Super Senior Championships,” @TrumpGolf posted on X. “Absolutely incredible!”

    Trump’s “incredible” win in January would seem especially impressive considering he was in North Carolina on the first day of that tournament in Florida.

    Straight out of the North Korean playbook

          No. It’s not an election issue. It’s a Congress and Senate issue. Or it’s an issue you deal with aside from the election. Not a single candidate supports Palestine, so it’s a moot point, and again, not an election issue. Making it an election issue will only lead to a Trump government, and I assure you Trump will make sure Palestine is wiped off the map. So if you actually want to help Palestine like you claim, helping Trump beat Biden is the stupidest thing you can do

              We’ve established that they already have the weapons and the money. That ship has sailed. Who as an American president could better handle this situation? The situation being, stop Israel from slaughtering the Palestinians you pretend to care so much about.

                  Look. I’m with you. America doing or assisting war crimes is unconscionable. It feels insane in this day and age to see them not taking a stand against an active ethnic cleansing. Almost the entirety of the fediverse is all for holding politicians accountable.

                  But what’s your purpose here? Why specifically start fights with this group on this post? What is your end goal?

    Why the fuck does the media always act like it’s 81 year old Biden himself doing this stupid childish shit?

    I know it’s way on the bottom of the list of shit to complain about Biden, but this one always gets me because it’s so fucking obvious. If they misrepresent stuff this stupid and obvious, maybe all those rumors about as soon as Biden is away from any type of recording device he magically starts acting a third his age are bullshit too.

    And besides all that, lots of the country don’t want a US president who “trolls” people on Twitter. It’s like the people actually running Biden’s campaign and making decisions want to make Biden into a knockoff trump.

        Really?

        Last election it took over a billion dollars for Biden to beat Trump by 30k votes.

        If his campaign team is that great, and it still costs that much…

        Wouldn’t it be easy if the candidate was pretty much anyone besides Biden?

        Beating trump isn’t hard, it just is when you run historically unpopular neoliberals that are more conservative than the party platform against him.

            That if Biden really has “the best people” and it costs over a billion dollars to beat trump last time…

            Running Biden again when he’s less popular seems like an incredibly stupid decision.

            That the DNC has been doing incredibly stupid shit for decades, and show no signs of improving.

            The wealthy bought both parties long ago, and things will never get better if people keep holding their noses and voting D no matter what.

            We used to have primaries. But NH may never have one again.

            I’d say it’s not complicated, but standards keep dropping. So if you still don’t get, be specific what’s giving you difficulty and I’ll put some time.in to help you

                We’re just going in circles where you pretend running Biden is the only option.

                It’s unlikely to work, even tho I hope it does. But it doesn’t seem like you want to acknowledge that.

                The primary isn’t over, it’s not too late. The DNC and Biden have just been saying it was too late since before the primary started.

            So your plan is to ignore how our system works and say everything will be fine?

            How’d that work out in 2016? For some reason I remember everything going to shit and missed our first female president.

            Biden is doing worse in those handful of battleground states and it’s damn near a coin flip if he can beat trump.

            Popular nationwide vote doesn’t mean shit. But this time Biden isn’t even leading nationally. More people want neither option than either trump or Biden. Neither are good candidates, they’re complete dog shit and shouldn’t be in the general. But neither party really let primaries happen this cycle.

            So “technically” Biden won by less than 30k votes in a few states.

          Wouldn’t it be easy if the candidate was pretty much anyone besides Biden?

          I wouldn’t be so sure about that. One of the things Biden brings to the table is that he can take Trump seriously, while credibly calling Trump on his bullshit. Hillary didn’t seem to comprehend that Trump had a serious political following at all.

          Biden has had a richer set of life experiences, and I think he understands how Trump has appeal to some voters who are in hard times right now. And Biden seems to enjoy the fight a bit more. He’s not afraid to get down to Trump’s level and throw some punches himself. And Biden’s punches land.

          Can you really see anyone other Candidate calling Trump out on shit like this, without having it sound like whining? Yes, Biden is not directly maintaining this account, but it’s run on his behalf, and it’s message is directly tied to the candidate. Could you really see Dean Phillips pulling this off? Or Kamala Harris?

            He’s 81 fucking years old, not a 60 year old with experience.

            He has multiple lifetimes of experience, which is a bad thing because someone at 81 isn’t as together as they were 20 years ago.

      Is it really so hard to imagine someone with a history of being sassy would see a tweet and joke to people near him ‘quite the achievement’ then they all laugh and he says ‘you know what, tweet that’

      People do like that, it’s funny but dignified. I don’t know if it’ll win him votes but it was funny.
