On the night of the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, the sparks flew not just over policies but over their golf handicap scores! Trump, ever the confident golfer, boasted a handicap of 2.5, while Biden countered with claims of once having a 6 handicap. The 45th president of the United States, never one to back down, dubbed Biden’s claim “the biggest lie,” and the golf banter was on!

Amidst this playful bickering, two-time U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau stepped in with a brilliant idea: why not settle the score on the green? He offered to host a match between the two on his YouTube channel.

Fast forward a few days, and two golf enthusiasts, Anon and Meth, have brought this hypothetical showdown to life in a hilarious cosplay video. Their recreation, shared by The Tour Golf on X (formerly Twitter), captures Donald Trump mocking Biden’s handicap claim and even throws in some cheeky allegations of the 78-year-old cheating. Fans are loving it, calling it “good stuff” and getting excited about this playful take on presidential golf drama!

Although the fans wanted an 18-hole stroke play game between the two presidential candidates to bury the handicap arguments, it might never become a reality. However, seeing the parody version of it made them equally elated about the whole fiasco.

Fans hilariously react to the Donald Trump and Joe Biden cosplay match

From John Daly endorsing Donald Trump as a good golfer to Jack Nicklaus calling him the best golfer among all the presidents, many golfers from the golf world have praised the 45th president’s golfing skills. However, Trump still fails to charm the golf fans with it.

From the past year to this day, the 78-year-old has been ridiculed for his out-of-the-ordinary swing, which some have called “horrible and ugly.” In the video, the cosplayers mimicked Trump’s swing to perfection and impressed this fan. They, enjoying the parody, said, “The accuracy of the trump swing is crazy!” 

It has been a very well-known rumor in the golf world that Donald Trump might have cheated in many of the events he has played. Moreover, an author and sports writer, Rick Reilly, explained in his book, Commander in Cheat, that Trump used to take many mulligans and used to move ahead of other golfers to move his ball.

Thus, even in the video, Donald Trump’s cheating allegations were made fun of, and this fan laughed, reiterating them, and said, “That’s lie fraud😂.” It could also be hinted at by the recent indictment of the 45th president.

Trump does have a unique characteristic that fans love about him; from his swing to the different faces he makes after it, golf fans notice everything about the former POTUS. This time too, they noticed the parody of Trump made by Meth, and they called it the “Best part!” of the whole video.

Another user was impressed with how not only Donald Trump but also Joe Biden were accurately represented in the post. The 46th POTUS’s habit of walking and talking slowly was correctly captured, making this fan say, “Funny! Good stuff, guys!” 

However, not everyone was pleased with the parody match between Trump and Biden. Many found the video not as hilarious as everyone in the golf community was attributing it to. DeChambeau’s video of a match between the candidates could have impressed the fans, but not this one. This user frustratingly said, “Easily the least funny thing I’ve seen this week.”

Donald Trump and Joe Biden will next meet on September 5 for another debate at ABC News. Will the two amateurs bring up the golf handicap debate once again? If they do, it will surely be an entertaining day for the golf world.
