In the midst of a tight election race, President Joe Biden humorously congratulated former President Donald Trump on his recent golf victories. The exchange took place on social media, with Biden playfully acknowledging Trump’s recent wins at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
Trump had taken to Truth Social to share his success, boasting about winning both the Club Championship Trophy and the Senior Club Championship Trophy. In response, Biden sarcastically congratulated Trump, saying, “Congratulations, Donald. Quite the accomplishment,” on X, previously known as Twitter.
This lighthearted exchange comes as both leaders gear up for a potential rematch in the upcoming November general elections. Current polls indicate a close race, with Trump currently leading Biden by a slim one percentage point.
However, the Trump campaign was quick to respond to Biden’s comment, criticizing his physical abilities. A Trump spokesperson stated, “Crooked Joe Biden is jealous because anything he does physically is an embarrassment.” The Hill has reached out to the Biden campaign for a response to this criticism.
Golf has been a recurring point of contention between the two leaders, with Trump previously questioning Biden’s golf skills and ability to perform at a high level. These instances highlight the ongoing rivalry between the two political figures, with golf serving as an unusual battleground for their differences.
As the election race heats up, it will be interesting to see how this playful banter between Biden and Trump plays out in the political arena. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving story.
