President Biden poked fun at formerĀ President TrumpĀ for boasting about winning two golf trophies at his own golf clubā€™s awards last night on Sunday.

ā€œCongratulations, Donald. Quite the accomplishment,ā€ Biden wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Biden attached a screengrab of Trumpā€™s post earlier in the night on Truth Social.

ā€œIt is my great honor to be at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach tonight, AWARDS NIGHT, to receive THE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY & THE SENIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY. I WON BOTH!ā€ Trump wrote in the Truth Social post.

    Wouldnā€™t it be easy if the candidate was pretty much anyone besides Biden?

    I wouldnā€™t be so sure about that. One of the things Biden brings to the table is that he can take Trump seriously, while credibly calling Trump on his bullshit. Hillary didnā€™t seem to comprehend that Trump had a serious political following at all.

    Biden has had a richer set of life experiences, and I think he understands how Trump has appeal to some voters who are in hard times right now. And Biden seems to enjoy the fight a bit more. Heā€™s not afraid to get down to Trumpā€™s level and throw some punches himself. And Bidenā€™s punches land.

    Can you really see anyone other Candidate calling Trump out on shit like this, without having it sound like whining? Yes, Biden is not directly maintaining this account, but itā€™s run on his behalf, and itā€™s message is directly tied to the candidate. Could you really see Dean Phillips pulling this off? Or Kamala Harris?

      Biden has had a richer set of life experiences

      Heā€™s 81 fucking years old, not a 60 year old with experience.

      He has multiple lifetimes of experience, which is a bad thing because someone at 81 isnā€™t as together as they were 20 years ago.

      Itā€™s just not how humans work, were not fucking tortoisesā€¦
