While everyone loves a bit of petty drama, viewers were less than thrilled with the unprofessional antics of Donald Trump and Joe Biden during the debate, especially when their golf spat took center stage. Surprisingly, it was Trump who tried to play the mature card first, telling Biden, “Let’s not act like children,” to which Biden sniped back, “You’re the child.” But according to spectators, they were both behaving quite foolishly.
Many took to social media to express their frustration and sheer disbelief. “Trump got Biden defending his golf swing more than his policies. I’ve never seen anything like this,” one fan tweeted, with another saying, “most spirited exchange biden and trump have had all evening…on golf. way too old entitled dues need to stand down.” And, of course, there’s Donald Trump Jr., ever the daddy’s boy, who jumped in to cheer on his father. “Let’s make this golf match happen STAT!!!! I’ll bet everything I have on it on my father. Any takers after watching this tonight??? Didn’t think so!!!” he said on X.
With how chaotic this campaign period has been, a golf match between these two isn’t far-fetched. After all, this is not the first time that Biden mocked his rival about golf anyway. In March 2024, when Trump boasted about his golf wins on Truth Social, Biden made sure to screenshot the receipts and share it on his X account with a snarky commentary: “Congratulations, Donald. Quite the accomplishment.” Touche!
