Donald Trump's golfing abilities have long been a subject of scrutiny - so much so that the President felt the need to explain why it's "impossible" for him to cheat at the sport during his weekend visit to Ireland. The 80-year old is in the country for two days for official diplomatic engagements, but also made a stop at the Irish Open golf tournament at his Doonbeg resort in County Clare onSaturday (September 12).
Trump made a dramatic entrance at the course, bringing the tournament to a halt as his Marine One helicopter touched down at the West Clare golf course, which he has owned since 2014. Later that day, he addressed the media, explaining why he'd never get away with repositioning his ball to a more favorable spot on the fairway.
"We had hundreds of Secret Service all over the course," he explained. "They said, 'Does Trump cheat?' I said I can't cheat - you have 250 secret service agents running around."

The US president elaborated: "It's not that I wouldn't cheat, but you can't move the ball... I don't know if they play enough, but they know you can't move the ball around!"
One X user fired back with a sharp response: "Trump basically admitted, 'I WOULD cheat... but Secret Service won't let me! Bro turned a golf cheating allegation into a whole comedy routine."
A second person questioned: "Why would Secret Service report his cheating? There's already enough videos and stories. His statement he would cheat is not surprising. The question should be - why? What value in his club titles?".
A third remarked: "Wow he kinda almost told the truth! There are many videos of Trump cheating on the golf course and many videos of Trump playing golf. None of those videos show 250 anything around him."

Meanwhile, a fourth noted: "Admitting he would cheat tells us all we about his character and the upcoming elections."
Trump has faced cheating accusations from numerous celebrities and playing partners over the years, making his exceptional scores a matter of scrutiny.

The President's caddie has also been accused of moving played shots and assisting the president during rounds.
In fact, Rick Reilly, author of "Commander in Cheat," has repeatedly disputed Trump's golfing claims and has indicated that his scores without caddie assistance would be closer to 90 over 18 holes.
That said, golfing icon Ernie Els was there in 2022 when Trump allegedly scored a hole-in-one at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. The four-time major champion still clearly recalls the moment and his response to seeing the impressive shot.
"We throw our clubs in the air. You know, 'it's unbelievable,'" Els remembered at the time. "You play with the ex-president, and he makes a hole-in-one. How many times does that happen? That's the thing that goes through your mind.
"He hits the ball better than I've seen any... I mean, he's 75," he continued. "But he can really strike the ball. He makes good contact. He's got a good swing."
