President Donald Trump took the winning shot Sunday at the Trump National Golf Club championship in Bedminster, New Jersey — and made sure everyone knew he did it while running the country.
Trump announced his victory on Truth Social with video of the final putt, explaining he shot a 70 despite having almost zero time to practice.
“The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a score of 70, and am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, because I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it, and they don’t!”
The president wasn’t exaggerating about being busy.
Just one day earlier, Trump canceled a planned U.S. military strike on Iran after Tehran and other Middle Eastern governments asked him to hold off as the “perimeters” of a deal were reached.
The emerging agreement would include the immediate, complete opening of the Hormuz Strait and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat, Trump said Saturday.
“Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL,” he stated.
On Sunday, Trump said a deal with Iran was “imminent” and negotiations would restart Monday.
Then Iran started playing games.
In a Monday morning Truth Social post, the president called out Tehran’s duplicity.
“Iranian Leadership is unbelievably duplicitous! They ask for a meeting, some would say ‘beg,’ talks begin, with more scheduled in the immediate future, and they say, openly and proudly, that they’re not having any discussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they’re only dealing with ‘Oman.’ They then go on to give their usual blather in saying, the Strait of Hormuz will be operated powerfully by them, when it is already completely controlled by the United States Navy and our ‘Blockade’ or, as some say, ‘The United States Wall of Steel!’ Nothing gets through to Iran, unless we want it to, and nothing will get through, unless a Deal, or Total Surrender, is accomplished.”
Trump closed with a direct message to the regime: “Whether Iran wants to admit it or not, we are, in fact, talking of a solution to a problem that they have caused, for decades. It is very simple, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!”
So yes — the man shot a 70 while negotiating the denuclearization of Iran and managing a U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
That’s what he calls talent.
