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.

That's a very common trait for dictators. Trump could well be the American Ceausescu.

He’s the Gaddafi of golf, Golfddafi if you will.

Can we just skip to the end part of the Ceaucescu story?

He "won" a tournament that was held while he was out of state.

I mean, let's not disrespect meth users by comparing them to trump voters, meth is the thinking man's drug.

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
