Donald Trump has been accused of cheating once again on the golf course following his outing at his Turnberry course over the weekend.
Footage spread of the US president receiving some major help from a caddie at the Scottish course, as he was seen dropping a ball in an advantageous spot for the president to play.
And that is seemingly not the only time that Trump bent the rules on the day, as another clip shows him sparing his putting blushes on the green.
The video begins with Trump, 79, sending a wayward chip from the rough into the bunker, before managing to escape and get his ball on the green.
From there, however, Trump produced a poor first putt before half-heartedly slapping the ball toward the hole in a follow-up attempt.
After that shot missed as well, Trump simply decided to pick his ball up rather than finishing up the hole.
President Donald Trump could be seen picking up his ball on the green after a failed putt
He met with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Monday in Turnberry, Scotland
Trump’s act of ‘cheating’ came after a half-hearted putt attempt following an initial miss
A day before, Trump – who met with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Monday – was panned as he was seen getting a favorable spot from a caddie.
Video taken from inside a building showed the moment the US president rolled up in a golf cart left of the fairway at Turnberry – with a bunker in front of him and some light fescue to his left.
As two caddies walked by, the camera captured one of them stopping, bending down slightly, and dropping a ball in front of the president.
Trump got out of his golf cart with a club and approached the dropped ball in what appeared to be an attempt to hit it. The video stops before he takes a swing.
The clip went viral on social media, with multiple commenters calling out the president for cheating.
‘Who needs a foot wedge when you have a personal ball dropper???’ wrote one commenter on X, formerly Twitter.
Another account posted, ‘Him and Kim Jong Un would be INSANE scramble partners’.
One account which appears to belong to a PGA professional commented, ‘Such a perfect metaphor for our Commander-in-Cheat.’

Trump’s liberal interpretation of golf rules has been well-documented over the years
The president said his talks with Starmer were in part to address the crisis in Gaza
‘Wild…Looks like I need these fellas as Caddies with the way I hit it anymore,’ another post joked.’
Trump’s liberal interpretation of golf rules has been well-documented.
Rick Reilly previously wrote a book about Trump’s relationship with golf called ‘Commander in Cheat,’ in which he spoke with people who had played with the president over the years.
‘Trump doesn’t just cheat at golf,’ Reilly wrote in an excerpt published by Golf.com. ‘He cheats like a three-card Monte dealer. He throws it, boots it, and moves it.
‘He lies about his lies. He fudges and foozles and fluffs. At Winged Foot, where Trump is a member, the caddies got so used to seeing him kick his ball back onto the fairway they came up with a nickname for him: ‘Pele.’
Earlier this year, film star Samuel L. Jackson accused him of cheating when the pair played a round together.
Jackson’s opinion is one also echoed by fellow actor Anthony Anderson, as he accused Trump of cheating back in 2016.
The US President met Prime Minister Starmer for talks at his Trump Turnberry golf resort in Ayrshire, Scotland, on the last full day of his trip to Britain.
Trump said the escalating crisis in Gaza was ‘one of the main reasons’ for the meeting, while he added that he was ‘very disappointed’ with President Vladimir Putin when asked about Russia.
He also claimed he never had the ‘privilege’ of visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s island home, and said he wasn’t ‘overly interested’ in the Epstein files.
