President Donald Trump continued to mock former President Joe Biden’s golf game during a Thanksgiving call with military members.
One of the noncommissioned officers on the call with Trump at the White House asked the 47th president what his “true handicap in golf” was, and at the same time asked him the following:
“Are you and President Biden going to play that round of golf?” said the noncommissioned officer.

To put it in context, Trump initially attacked Biden’s golf game during their June 27, 2024 presidential debate in Atlanta. A couple of weeks later, Trump challenged Biden to a game of golf, saying he would donate $1 million to charity if he lost.
Trump’s response to the NCO was one of confidence, as he quickly said he would “love” to take on Biden on the links.
“I mean, I’ve invited him, but he doesn’t want to show up,” Trump said.

“Look, I know a lot about golf. I’ve won 38 club championships and I can’t practice much. I won one last year. I won a club championship at a big club, beating a 27-year-old kid. I told him, you know, I’m decades older than you, but I said, ‘The fairway doesn’t know how old you are when you walk down the middle and he’s in the rough.’ I’ve been a good golfer over the years.”
Trump added that his handicap is “very low,” although he did not give a definitive figure.
“I guess I’m very… I have to be close to scratch or better. I beat plus three. That’s three best, three under. If you look at it for those who don’t know, in the club championship final last year, with everything that was going on and no practice. So, I’m a good golfer.”

Since their infamous 2024 debate, Trump has taken more shots at Biden’s golf game, including a moment on a driving range with LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau and YouTuber Travis Miller. After driving, Trump joked, “Do you think Joe Biden can do that?”
Trump has also mocked Biden’s claim that he has six disadvantages.
“He said it’s a six. I told him, ‘You’re not a 60.’ It’s not a 60,” Trump said then. “So I said, ‘I’ll give you a million dollars if you can get over 100.’ If you have six, you can easily get over 100. But you can’t.”
Last July, Trump also attacked Biden’s game when a video of a walk-through during a round went viral.
“Did you see my drive on the first hole? Pretty long, pretty long. That’s not Joe Biden, let me tell you. That’s not Biden, right? It was a good drive,” Trump said.

Trump ended his statement to the noncommissioned officer on Thanksgiving Day with a similar attack on Biden.
“A lot of people talk, but they can’t play like Biden. Biden can’t hit a ball 30 yards. I’m telling you, I looked at his swing. He can’t hit a ball 30 yards,” Trump said. “He said it was a six handicap. That was the only thing that made me angry. During the debate with him, he said it was a six. I told him, you’re not a six. And he said, well, I’m an eight. I told him, that was quick. I picked up two, but he’s not 100. He’s not 100. But it’s a great game, and I hope you guys can play a little of it.”
