Sportswriter Rick Reilly On Donald Trump's Golf Cheating

Video Overview & Insights

Rick Reilly, one of America’s preeminent sportswriters and a member of the National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Hall of Fame, is the author of the New York Times bestseller, Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump (2019).

Because of of course, a sports writer is eminently qualified to comment as an expert on the political arena in America today. So much so that he wrote a book. For a amendment, there for abuse of the intellectually unqualified.

— @AndrewBoyle-zk5jf

Based on Reilly's own experiences with Trump as well as interviews with over 100 golf pros, amateurs, developers, and caddies, Commander in Cheat is a startling and at times hilarious indictment of Trump and his golf game.

Reilly reveals how Trump cheats (sometimes with the help of his caddies and Secret Service agents), lies about his scores (the "Trump Bump"), tells whoppers about the rank of his courses and their worth (declaring that every one of them is worth $50 million), and tramples the etiquette of the game.

Why do you laugh at him with your story..hammer him and show some balls..your not funny unless you do so

Hey Rick,he became president again,I suppose he cheated huh

@leeolson539

Can’t believe no one has ever punched Trump or raged at him during his golf outings. I would. If I saw him kick my ball into a bunker, I’d knock his ass out.

If there's a single positive about Trump, I'm waiting to hear it. Golf is about integrity and Trump has zero. Everyone has to live in his fantasy world

TDS has made it to YouTube with doctored videos of a guy playin' golf?! WOW! Crazies are pullin' out ALL the stops 'cause...they're LOSERS.

Go back to flippin' burgers.

So clear and very funny. This gives you an insight on Stinky TACO we already knew. He is the America's biggest embarrasment.

@mennobults6464

Not a lot of laughter here!? Why, because too many are T supporters in the first place!….They don’t want their hero ridiculed or besmirched! US is just loud empty shit, like the last Ryder Cup losers! Can’t stand corporate America and all who will sink in her! YUK

I once grounded the club in the bunker. I felt stupid and bad about it. Gave myself the penalty. Now I know Trump doesn't have that feeling. He must be feeling worse all the time...

One would have to be in a coma the past 35 years, or a blind sheep, to not understand this con man would cheat at anything, anywhere for any reason. Extreme narcissists want to win every single time, void of any morals/ethics, & even rule of law

Trump is the definition of THE DARK TRIAD…NARCISSISM, Machiavellianism, Psycopathy
He is HUMAN GARBAGE

Trump, a complete and total embarrassment, not only to this country, but to the world and the entire universe. A horrible and despicable poor excuse of a human being.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as taking a "gimmie" or a "mulligan" in a legitimate USGA officiated golf match.



Those are just terms used by hacks playing "make believe", "pretend" or "kiddie golf".



Ironically, golf (along with chess) is one of the few games where there is no such thing as cheating.



That's why you never hear of a player taking a dive in the third round, shaving points, bribing officials, or throwing a match.



It's one of the few purest forms of competition in the world in which he has no part.

Mary Trump told a fun anecdote on her youtube show; her Aunt confided in her 'Your uncle paid someone else to take his SATs.' !! Mary also related why donald tRump throws his food against a wall.
His own daughter wrote a book ('Women Who Work') in it she says something about lying to people that as if it's a commendable thing to do. The entire family s truly disgusting.

Further evidence that this man is an absolute piece of shit.

If you want to take a little foot wedge to knock the ball off of some roots or something while playing with some buddy’s for fun, I don’t really care. I’d much rather you not break your wrist or your club, we’re just there to fuck around and have fun.

But in a club championship or any sort of event where you’re playing a match, absolutely not. It’s a shame he owns those courses, because if he didn’t, they’d probably kick him right out.

I’d love to put some cameras on him and just count how many times he cheats in a 18 hole round.

Trump is a cheat and the worst criminal in human history. But Rick Reilly shows his ignorance by saying if we were in Iran and someone critiqued the Iran president’s swing they’d have their tongue cut out along with their entire family. No, Iran is nothing like the United States and no one in Iran would even think of doing something so criminal.

Why can't a higher fence 3 feet behind the homerun fence be built? Balls still 'go over the fence' but don't land in the neighbor's yard? Maybe the Twins can pay for it with some of the millions they overpay their players for instead of donating a measly 'bucket of balls'.

Operation Spiderweb at Trump golf courses! Iranian retaliation is coming! Have a good game, orange cheeto, TACO!

Non-golfers probably don’t understand the ethos of the game. Cheating at golf is like cheating in a marriage. Some people do it, but it’s despised.

Donald Trump cheats at a game that is mind numbingly dull. Seems about right, mediocre politician cheats at a mediocre game.

Trump might tear the world economy down, but he is a total asshole for beeing a comedy character no one could ever invent. I mean, not even Parker & Stone could come up with someone like that.
