But it does not stop with the video. The LIV Golf pro has also played casual rounds with Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump, even praising her game and calling it "pure skill."
Trump, too, highlighted DeChambeau's talent, frequently praising the golfer's performance in various tournaments.
Despite their close ties, it had been a while since the two were last seen playing together—until Sunday.
That reunion quickly gained traction when golf journalist Dan Rapaport shared a post on X, captioning it, "More like TPC White House with those soft ass greens."

Earlier in the day, the two-time U.S. Open champion had also joined Trump at his golf course in Washington, D.C., where the president complimented Bryson's monster driving ability.
"Bryson's a great guy, he's a great golfer, he's probably the number one golfer now," Trump said.
"I always consider myself a reasonably long hitter, and then I play with him, and I go home, and I say, my wife says, 'Are you as long as Bryson? I said, 'Yeah, sort of, pretty close.' It's not close."
Wrapping up the outing, the White House official X account posted a photo DeChambeau was shaking hands with the 47th president.
Bryson Isn't the Only Pro Golfer in Trump's Circle
The president's relationships in the golf world run deep, including with Tiger Woods.
Trump has been a pillar of support for Woods, especially when the 15-time major winner's mother passed away. Woods also earned Trump's seal of approval after news surfaced of his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the president's former daughter-in-law.
"I love Tiger, and I love Vanessa," he said during a media briefing. He also expressed his desire for their happiness, stating:
"I'm very happy for both. I just let them both be happy. Let them both be happy. They're both great."
Kai Trump, 18, was also spotted swinging clubs alongside Rory McIlroy in one of her YouTube golf videos.

In February, he hosted a White House meeting with PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and PIF Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan, aiming to push the stalled deal forward.
The 2023 announced merger remains incomplete.

Trump Truth Social: Trump Blasts Big Bird as He Urges ‘Defunding' of PBS
Shares in NBC owner Comcast (CMCSA) switched off today after it was made very clear by President Trump that he isn't an avid viewer.

Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. Rescissions Bill In a Truth Social Post, the President, perhaps tucked up in one of his many beds or curled up on one of his many gargantuan sofas, was clearly on the verge of throwing something very damaging towards his TV. 'It is very important that all Republicans adhere to my Recissions Bill and, in particular, DEFUND THE CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING (PBS and NPR), which is worse than CNN & MSDNC put together. Any Republican that votes to allow this monstrosity to continue broadcasting will not have my support or Endorsement. Thank you for your attention to this matter!' the President thundered. Lengthy Grudge The comments impacted much of the media sector. MSNBC is owned by Comcast whose shares fell 1%. CNN is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) whose shares dropped 1%. Even one of Trump's favorities, Fox (FOX) fell 2.3%. Trump wants to rescind around $9.4 billion in already approved funding from foreign aid and public broadcasters including NPR and PBS. Trump and indeed the Republican party has long held a grudge against PBS wanting the private sector and not government to fund the broadcaster. Perhaps, he has a hidden childhood trauma as a result of watching Big Bird and his friends on the broadcaster's Sesame Street show? However, not all of the media ruffled Trump's feathers today. He praised USA Today after it swooned: 'Trump deserves Nobel Peace Prize. He's achieved more than those who've won before.' Trump's reaction? 'So nice!' Is CMCSA a Good Stock to Buy Now? On TipRanks, CMCSA has a Moderate Buy consensus based on 9 Buy, 9 Hold and 1 Sell ratings. Its highest price target is $48. CMCSA stock's consensus price target is $39.62 implying a 13.17% upside.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul launches online guide for Trump's tariffs
NEW YORK (PIX11) – New York Governor Kathy Hochul has published an online resource guide to help navigate President Trump's new tariffs. 'International trade helps support the growth of New York State companies of all sizes, whether they're exporting or importing goods and services to expand their business and customer base,' reads the website. 'Understanding tariffs is important for companies looking to lower potential risk to their operations and supply chains.' More Local News The website includes details on how imports and exports may be affected. It will also tell New Yorkers and small business owners what products are subject to tariffs. A tariff is a tax imposed by a government on goods imported from another country. Tariffs raise costs for companies and consumers that rely on imports. For example, if a toy from a specific country costs $10 and a 50% tariff is imposed on items from that country, you will now pay extra because a tariff has been imposed. The new price will be $15, because 50% of $10 is $5. Trump has long promised tariffs; it was one of his key campaign promises to raise U.S. taxes on foreign goods to narrow the gap with the tariffs the White House says other countries unfairly impose on U.S. products. The White House has sent letters outlining higher tariffs to countries if they don't make trade deals with the U.S. by August.

It's Time to Invest in Your Needs, Not Wants
It seems Mick and Keith were right all along. You aren't always going to get what you want, but you might get what you need. And you should invest accordingly. Just this week, US President Donald Trump announced a plan to put a 50% tariff on imports of copper to the US, ostensibly an attempt to increase domestic supply. The UK Office of Budget Responsibility released a horrible assessment of the nation's public finances, making it clear that reform of the welfare state is an immediate imperative.
