Donald Trump golf video: Golf ball dropped in front of bunker in Scotland after bulletproof buggy debuted
Mr Trump, a renowned golf lover and course owner, has a reputation for winning. However, that reputation is also marred by speculation that his game is improved through tactics that some might call cheating.
The US President owns two golf courses in Scotland. Trump Turnberry, a hotel and resort in Ayr, and Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire.
Around meeting EU officials, Mr Trump enjoyed a hit on the course during his three-day visit. However, a video of a casual round has got the internet talking.
In the video, Mr Trump can be seen driving his golf buggy as two caddies approach a sand bunker where the US President's ball was near.
As they approach, a new golf ball is dropped by one of the caddies, presumably in a better position for Mr Trump and his score.
Author Richard Hanania reshared the video online, saying: 'We are living in North Korea'.
'Oh my God this is so pathetic,' he wrote on X.
'Trump's cronies drop the golf ball in front of him. He pretends to notice it at that spot.'
'Trump working hard to bring down grocery prices,' another page wrote.
'Trump has to cheat at his own course,' said another.
Mentioning Mr Trump's impressive golfing history, another user wrote: 'This is how you win 30 club championships.'
It wasn't the only part of Mr Trump's golf outing to make headlines.
Following Mr Trump on the course was a vehicle now dubbed 'Golf Force One', a fully armoured, and reportedly bulletproof, golf buggy.
Mr Trump has not yet been inside the armoured buggy, instead opting to drive himself around in a regular one.
It is the first appearance of 'Golf Force One' but one that may be welcomed by the US President's security team.
On September 2024, an attempt on Mr Trump's life was made when shots were fired at Trump International Golf Club, West Palm Beach, Florida.
Ryan Wesley Routh was later arrested and charged over the alleged plot to kill Mr Trump.

US jobs data scares the pants off financial markets, and US president Donald Trump responds by – checks notes – sacking the head of the Bureau of Labour Statistics, claiming the data was rigged to make the White House look bad. If it wasn't so serious, it would be funny. What Trump has missed is what economists have been warning about for ages: this data is becoming increasingly unreliable. Of the 70,000 companies that are surveyed for the official jobs data, it is estimated only 24,000 reply in time to pull together the monthly public report.

Trump orders US nuclear subs repositioned over statements from ex-Russian leader
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here In a warning to Russia , President Donald Trump said he's ordering the repositioning of two US nuclear submarines 'based on the highly provocative statements' of the country's former president Dmitry Medvedev. Trump posted on his social media site that based on the 'highly provocative statements' from Medvedev he had "ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that.' The president added, 'Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances.'

(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) (AP) It wasn't immediately clear what impact Trump's order would have on US nuclear subs, which are routinely on patrol in the world's hotspots, but it comes at a delicate moment in the Trump administration's relations with Moscow. Trump has said that special envoy Steve Witkoff is heading to Russia to push Moscow to agree to a ceasefire in its war with Ukraine and has threatened new economic sanctions if progress is not made. He cut his 50-day deadline for action to 10 days, with that window set to expire next week. The post about the sub repositioning came after Trump, in the wee hours of Thursday morning, had posted that Medvedev was a 'failed former President of Russia' and warned him to 'watch his words.' Medvedev responded hours later by writing, 'Russia is right on everything and will continue to go its own way." A Navy submarine docks in Perth.

Now deputy chairman of Russia's National Security Council, which Putin chairs, Medvedev has been known for his provocative and inflammatory statements since the start of the war in 2022, a U-turn from his presidency, when he was seen as liberal and progressive. He has frequently wielded nuclear threats and lobbed insults at Western leaders on social media. Some observers have argued that with his extravagant rhetoric, Medvedev is seeking to score political points with Putin and Russian military hawks.

"The world shuddered, expecting the consequences. Belligerent Europe was disappointed. Russia didn't care.' Earlier this week, he wrote, 'Trump's playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10" and added, 'He should remember 2 things: 1. Russia isn't Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. "Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country.' World USA Donald Trump Russia CONTACT US

Trump to reposition submarines into Russia territory
Former Russia president Dmitry Medvedev has warned US President Donald Trump of Moscow's soviet era nuclear strike capabilities of last resort. Trump took to Truth Social, claiming he is ordering nuclear submarines to be repositioned in Russian territory. This began when President Trump gave Russia 10 days to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine, or face sanctions along with other countries who buy oil from Russia. The US possesses several submarines, so it is not clear if he is signalling a nuclear or conventional deterrent in this case.
