President Biden poked fun at formerĀ President TrumpĀ for boasting about winning two golf trophies at his own golf clubā€™s awards last night on Sunday.

ā€œCongratulations, Donald. Quite the accomplishment,ā€ Biden wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Biden attached a screengrab of Trumpā€™s post earlier in the night on Truth Social.

ā€œIt 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!ā€ Trump wrote in the Truth Social post.

    Biden attached a screengrab of Trumpā€™s post earlier in the night on Truth Social.

    Why the fuck does the media always act like itā€™s 81 year old Biden himself doing this stupid childish shit?

    I know itā€™s way on the bottom of the list of shit to complain about Biden, but this one always gets me because itā€™s so fucking obvious. If they misrepresent stuff this stupid and obvious, maybe all those rumors about as soon as Biden is away from any type of recording device he magically starts acting a third his age are bullshit too.

    And besides all that, lots of the country donā€™t want a US president who ā€œtrollsā€ people on Twitter. Itā€™s like the people actually running Bidenā€™s campaign and making decisions want to make Biden into a knockoff trump.

      It goes right to the point that there is a well oiled Biden machine team that makes things run and the contrast is stark.

      Orange shitstainā€™s team of racist Christo-fashists is hard at work too and out to destroy democracy.

        Really?

        Last election it took over a billion dollars for Biden to beat Trump by 30k votes.

        If his campaign team is that great, and it still costs that muchā€¦

        Wouldnā€™t it be easy if the candidate was pretty much anyone besides Biden?

        Beating trump isnā€™t hard, it just is when you run historically unpopular neoliberals that are more conservative than the party platform against him.

            That if Biden really has ā€œthe best peopleā€ and it costs over a billion dollars to beat trump last timeā€¦

            Running Biden again when heā€™s less popular seems like an incredibly stupid decision.

            That the DNC has been doing incredibly stupid shit for decades, and show no signs of improving.

            The wealthy bought both parties long ago, and things will never get better if people keep holding their noses and voting D no matter what.

            We used to have primaries. But NH may never have one again.

            Iā€™d say itā€™s not complicated, but standards keep dropping. So if you still donā€™t get, be specific whatā€™s giving you difficulty and Iā€™ll put some time.in to help you

              I donā€™t hear you pitching any solutions that are viable between now and November. Did you really expect the DNC to not run the incumbent?

                Running a candidate that didnā€™t take a billion fucking dollars to beat Trump by 30k votesā€¦

                Weā€™re just going in circles where you pretend running Biden is the only option.

                Itā€™s unlikely to work, even tho I hope it does. But it doesnā€™t seem like you want to acknowledge that.

                The primary isnā€™t over, itā€™s not too late. The DNC and Biden have just been saying it was too late since before the primary started.

                  Biden isnā€™t an inspirational candidate. Not hard to admit. Who do you think stands a chance of unifying the DNC before November?

                    I agree with the sentiment but I also want to say that the DNC doesnā€™t choose the nominee in the way the person you are replying to thinks. No candidate who has a credible chance of being present decided to run in the primary. We canā€™t just hope that a shadowy backroom DNC deal (which only exists in the minds of those without a sophisticated understanding of us party politics) to force a whittmer or newsom or any other democrat in a position to run a national campaign to actually run for president. Political leaders make their own choice if they want to run and while that choice is influenced by party insiders and any other number of factors but at the end of the day of all candidates who decided to run for the democratic nomination - Biden is the most credible and capable candidate. The DNC canā€™t just pick a name and run them.

                    a name

                    AOC would be a walk in victory against trump. But you could also pick 90% of Congress with a D next to their name and have a better shot than Biden.

          Well technically trump was beat by a whole whole lot more than that, itā€™s just that the US election system is rather fucked up to the point that it constantly allows a religious extremist minority to actually win

            ā€¦

            So your plan is to ignore how our system works and say everything will be fine?

            Howā€™d that work out in 2016? For some reason I remember everything going to shit and missed our first female president.

            Biden is doing worse in those handful of battleground states and itā€™s damn near a coin flip if he can beat trump.

            Popular nationwide vote doesnā€™t mean shit. But this time Biden isnā€™t even leading nationally. More people want neither option than either trump or Biden. Neither are good candidates, theyā€™re complete dog shit and shouldnā€™t be in the general. But neither party really let primaries happen this cycle.

            So ā€œtechnicallyā€ Biden won by less than 30k votes in a few states.

          I wouldnā€™t be so sure about that. One of the things Biden brings to the table is that he can take Trump seriously, while credibly calling Trump on his bullshit. Hillary didnā€™t seem to comprehend that Trump had a serious political following at all.

          Biden has had a richer set of life experiences, and I think he understands how Trump has appeal to some voters who are in hard times right now. And Biden seems to enjoy the fight a bit more. Heā€™s not afraid to get down to Trumpā€™s level and throw some punches himself. And Bidenā€™s punches land.

          Can you really see anyone other Candidate calling Trump out on shit like this, without having it sound like whining? Yes, Biden is not directly maintaining this account, but itā€™s run on his behalf, and itā€™s message is directly tied to the candidate. Could you really see Dean Phillips pulling this off? Or Kamala Harris?

            Heā€™s 81 fucking years old, not a 60 year old with experience.

            He has multiple lifetimes of experience, which is a bad thing because someone at 81 isnā€™t as together as they were 20 years ago.

            Itā€™s just not how humans work, were not fucking tortoisesā€¦

      Is it really so hard to imagine someone with a history of being sassy would see a tweet and joke to people near him ā€˜quite the achievementā€™ then they all laugh and he says ā€˜you know what, tweet thatā€™

      People do like that, itā€™s funny but dignified. I donā€™t know if itā€™ll win him votes but it was funny.
