Former president Donald Trump released another episode of his "Breaking 50" series with Bryson DeChambeau and, as expected, it did not disappoint in the entertainment department.
In what has become a beloved tradition whenever these two set foot on a golf course together, Trump spent much of the round talking smack about his famous political rivals - and when doesn't he! This time, the unlucky target of Trump's trash talk was none other than Joe Biden. Apparently the debates from earlier this month over their golf prowess are still fresh on Trump's mind.
Just after draining an absolutely epic tee shot on the par 3 second hole, Trump turns to Bryson and says "You think Biden can do that? I don't know. We had an argument about golf. Can you believe it?" Honestly, I can 100% believe two elderly politicians arguing over their golf games like it's the most important geopolitical issue of our time. Gotta love the pettiness!
It was an honor hosting 2X U.S. Open Champion @b_dechambeau at the iconic @TrumpBedminster for his series, Break 50.

The "argument" Trump referred to took place during last month's presidential debate between himself and Biden. When asked about his fitness for office, Trump touted his golf prowess and claimed Biden "can't hit a ball 50 yards."
“To do that, you have to be quite smart and you have to be able to hit the ball a long way. And I do it. He doesn’t do it. He can’t hit a ball 50 yards. He challenged me to a golf match. He can’t hit a ball 50 yards.
“I think I’m a very good shape. I feel that I’m in as good a shape as I was 25, 30 years ago. Actually, I’m probably a little bit lighter. But I’m in as good a shape as I was years ago. I feel very good. I feel the same.”
Biden shot back that his handicap was a 6 when he was Vice President. The two disagreed on each other's skills, with Trump doubting Biden's reported handicap.
“Look, I’d be happy to have a driving contest with him. I got my handicap, which, when I was vice president, down to a 6,” Biden said.
“And by the way, I told you before I’m happy to play golf if you carry your own bag. Think you can do it?”
While just meant as lighthearted entertainment, the video again showed Trump taking confidence in his golf game compared to Biden's. It comes after Biden's surprise withdrawal from the presidential race last weekend, seemingly clearing the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to face off against Trump in November's general election.

DeChambeau clarified on social media that the round was filmed in early July prior to Trump's recent assassination attempt. But it illustrated that despite no longer being election opponents, Trump still sees Biden as a rival when it comes to the game of golf.
“To confirm and clear any speculation, the Break 50 video with (Trump) was filmed during the first week of July, before I traveled overseas and prior to the incident that occurred in Butler, PA,” DeChambeau wrote on X.
The round itself was an absolute blast to watch as always. These guys were launching bombs off the tee like it was their job. Which, for DeChambeau, slamming drives is his job. Did you see the missles this man was hitting?! Trump even sunk a clutch birdie putt on the final hole to finish the back nine in an unbelievable 22-under par from the ladies' tees.
And of course, no Trump golf outing is complete without some unverified hole-in-one claims. This time he's saying he's sunk eight aces in his career? I mean, it definitely tracks with his personality but I'll believe it when I see the scorecards.

All in all, another very entertaining episode from these two. The trash talk, the gigantic drives, the wild stories - I'm already counting down for the next one. Thanks for keeping me thoroughly entertained and bringing the golf goss, Mr. President! Now someone get these legends on a course against each other ASAP. I need to see Biden's supposed single-digit handicap in action!
