Well, it's happened again: Donald Trump has been accused of cheating at golf. There's a clip that's gone viral showing the United States president driving up in a golf cart while a caddie appears to drop a ball in front of a sand trap.
We don't know anything about what's going on in the video, but it would be far from the first time that Trump was accused of cheating at the game of golf. We'll sum up a few times that accusations have flown from some famous names and celebrities.
Here's a little bit of history as the video continues to get shared everywhere:
Oscar De La Hoya
This is way back from 2016, and here's the quote to the Associated Press:
"Donald, what he does is he tees off first so we go off to our balls and what do we see but Donald Trump right in the middle of the fairway," De La Hoya said. "He said, 'Hey look, I found my first ball.'"
On the next hole, a par-3, De La Hoya said Trump hit into some bushes and again went ahead of the other players in his cart. When the rest of the group got to the green, he said Trump's ball was 3 feet from the hole.
"And by the way I'm picking it up," De La Hoya quoted Trump as saying. "It's a gimme."
Various golfers
Former Sports Illustrated scribe Rick Reilly wrote a book called Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump that has anecdotes like these (via Golf.com):
“I played with him once,” says Bryan Marsal, longtime Winged Foot member and chair of the coming 2020 Men’s U.S. Open. “It was a Saturday morning game. We go to the first tee and he couldn’t have been nicer. But then he said, ‘You see those two guys? They cheat. See me? I cheat. And I expect you to cheat because we’re going to beat those two guys today.’… So, yes, it’s true, he’s going to cheat you. But I think Donald, in his heart of hearts, believes that you’re gonna cheat him, too. So if it’s the same, if everybody’s cheating, he doesn’t see it as really cheating.”
Samuel L. Jackson
The actor said this in 2016, via Page Six:
Asked who the better golfer was, Jackson said with a smile, “Oh, I am, for sure. I don’t cheat.”
Alice Cooper
In 2012, the rock legend had this to say via News 12:
In a 2012 interview with Q magazine, Cooper mentioned Trump's golf rule bending ways.
"The worst celebrity golf cheat? I wish I could tell you that. It would be a shocker. I played golf with Donald Trump one time. That's all I'm going to say," he told the magazine.
