Rough deal: Social media roasts Trump's golf game after clip appears to show alleged cheating in Scotland
Social media users pounced on a clip that appears to show Donald Trump cheating on the golf course during his ongoing trip to Scotland, the latest in a long line of accusations that the president cheats on the fairway. In the video circulated by liberal commentators, a caddy appears to walk ahead of the golf-loving president in his golf cart and drop a ball behind him as the president approaches. 'Trump working hard to bring down grocery prices,' the caption says, making a satirical reference to the president's campaign promises to tackle inflation and costs 'For the morons that think Trump doesn't cheat at golf and wins all those club championships fair and square….watch his caddie here,' another account wrote. The phrase 'commander in cheat' was soon trending on the social media site. 'The video of Trump's caddy doing an Oddjob Slazenger drop isn't a big deal; cheating at golf isn't nearly the worst thing about Trump,' wrote The Atlantic 's Tom Nichols. 'But watching the cult of personality try to explain it away is really some creepy North Korean level stuff.' The Independent has requested comment from the White House. The president has faced a long list of accusations that he doesn't play fair from figures ranging from actor Samuel Jackson to LPGA player Suzann Pettersen. Trump's alleged cheating, which has always denied, is even the subject of a book: Rick Reilly's Commander in Cheat. 'At Winged Foot, where Trump is a member, the caddies got so used to seeing him kick his ball back onto the fairway they came up with a nickname for him: Pele,' Reilly writes in the book. Controversy has always followed Trump, an avid golfer and developer of golf resorts, when he hits the 18 holes. The president has golfed at least 45 days out of his 189 days in office this year, or roughly 24 percent of his second term thus far. In April, the president faced criticism for attending an event from Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf while missing the return ceremony for the remains of four dead American soldiers. Others have criticized the president's promotion of his business interests on his own properties. During the Scotland trip, Trump met with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at his Turnberry golf course to announce an EU trade deal, and the president plans to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday for a new course in Aberdeenshire. The White House described the Scotland tour as a 'working trip' while touting that Trump 'has built the best and most beautiful world-class golf courses anywhere in the world, which is why they continue to be used for prestigious tournaments and by the most elite players in the sport.' The president's Mar-a-Lago club and estate in Florida, near one his golf courses, has also emerged as a key hub for lobbying and fundraising, home to visits from tech billionaires and $1-million-per-head fundraising dinners. In the Middle East, meanwhile, the president's family company, the Trump Organization, recently struck a deal to build a golf resort in Qatar, weeks before the nation announced the gift of a $400 million Boeing 747 plane to be used for the new Air Force One. Despite the administration's insistence on cutting government spending, the president has also reportedly drained taxpayers of over $10 million in costs related to his many golf trips, while the Secret Service has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for the use of golf carts and port-a-potties at Trump's New Jersey golf club. Since retaking office, Trump and his family businesses have taken in hundreds of millions of dollars on business ventures including cryptocurrency, real estate, and branded merchandise. 'He is president and is supposed to be working in the public's interest,' James Thurber, an emeritus professor at American University, told The Associated Press last month. 'Instead, he is helping his own personal interest to grow his wealth. It's totally not normal.'

Modern Britain's counsel of despair
There can be no greater indicator of hopelessness in Government than the flailing around this weekend of Sir Keir Starmer and his ministers. Even as the people of this country were protesting up and down the land from Glasgow to Diss in Norfolk our Prime Minister was fixated on a country far away, negotiating with the EU for a way to airdrop aid into Gaza. Demonstrations have taken place all weekend against the occupation of migrant hotels even as more illegals found their way to our shores. Larger and larger crowds of demonstrators have been gathering to demand an end to the housing of 'asylum seekers' and a shutting down of our borders. But if you'd been monitoring the output from Downing Street, you might not know it. With every international policy that emanates from the office of the Prime Minister – such as the promise to recognise Palestinian statehood at some point in the future – there is often a domestic act with far reaching consequences. The latest betrayal of the British people is a plan to spend millions on repurposing housing with local councils in order to accommodate yet more asylum seekers. There are apparently 700,000 potential homes in London, Leeds, Liverpool and Birmingham. The Government would pay for councils to either lease or buy the properties and then renovate them en masse. Not only has the proposed pilot scheme angered homeless campaigners but it will dismay many younger people who were promised the vote only last week. After all, what hope will teenagers have of ever buying their own home if the current supply, and even newer converted properties, are earmarked for new arrivals to the country? And to make matters worse an elite police squad has been set up to monitor anti-migrant posts on social media. They're going to be pretty busy. Britain has never been more categorically in a state of disrepair. Yet it seems as though this Government and its ministers are determined not to acknowledge it. Instead it seems determined to downgrade our status ever further. Consider what's happened over the last few days. President Donald Trump arrived in Scotland with a warning that immigration was ruining not just this country but all of Europe. We learnt that dozens of Taliban fighters are amongst the many thousands of Afghan refugees who came to the UK under the resettlement scheme. That terrorists from the Middle East have entered the country posing as asylum seekers. We've also seen a rise in homeless foreigners sleeping on our streets. It is fostering resentment, and a mounting sense of unfairness. Sixth-formers might have the vote in 2029, but how many will support Labour against this backdrop? As the anger deepens around the country over immigration and the way the government is failing to control it, Starmer's proposal to bring Palestinian children to Britain will be met with further alarm. In a weekend poll, 27 per cent of Brits said they didn't 'sympathise' with either side. We can perhaps read into this that it is not an issue of great importance to them. More and more people are telling me that they have had enough of being treated like second class citizens and they hold the Labour Government responsible. Who can blame them?
