The Midas Touch research team did it again. They were able to find footage from this weekend of Donald Trump cheating while playing golf. Let me just show you the footage that we busted Donald Trump cheating. It's been viewed now over like 25 million times. But I want to make broader points about how Donald Trump uses his golf courses to cheat to host the Saudis for their live golf tournament and spread 911 conspiracy theories. How he uses his Bedminster golf course to bury his first wife to get ghoulish tax benefits from it. I want to go through this step by step. But first, here's what the Midas Touch research team was able to identify this weekend. Donald Trump cheating in Turnberry, Scotland.

Ben Meiselas
Now, you saw right there what is caddy did is caddy dropped the ball, gave Trump a better lie versus where Trump actually hit it so then that Trump could get a better score while playing. Here is it, here' version of it just slowed down just so you can see it in case you missed it in the first video.

Ben Meiselas
Now we've been documenting this over the course of many years because again, the way Donald Trump plays golf is how he lives his life. Constantly cheating and lying. And so here is Donald Trump from March 2020 21. Rather than actually putt the ball into the hole, Donald Trump kind of just like hits it and like kicks it in and then he gives himself the putt versus actually putting.
[02:09]

Here, play this clip.
[02:22]
Ben Meiselas
And here was Donald Trump during his criminal and civil cases back in 2023. He went out golfing. You can see what it's like when he's caught in. And like right before he cheats here, you'll see him just completely shank the the golf ball.
[02:37]
Co-Host
Here, play this clip.
[02:46]
Ben Meiselas
Oh, he shanked it.
[02:48]
Co-Host
Oh my God. I got that on video.
[02:51]
Ben Meiselas
And here's Donald Trump driving over the grain to hit his putt. This is from July 2024. This is completely against the rules. You're not supposed to drive your golf cart over the green where people putt.
[03:04]

[03:06]

That's a great shot.
[03:10]

Co-Host
They get to drive on the green. No way.

To his ball like a.

Ben Meiselas
Now here is the video of Donald Trump at his Bedminster golf course in 2022 hosting the Saudi backed live golf tournament. And when Donald Trump was asked about the 911 families who were protesting this event at Bedminster, Donald Trump said, well, actually, nobody's really gotten to the bottom of what happened on 9 11. What does that mean? Of course they have. Here, play this clip associated with the.
[03:42]
Brett Eagleson
City of New York. You of all people understand the passion surrounding 9 11. What do you say to those family members who protested earlier this week and will be doing so again on Friday?
[03:52]
Guest
Well, nobody's gotten to the bottom of 9 11. Unfort, and they should have. As to the maniacs that did that horrible thing to our city, to our country, to the world. So nobody's really been there.
[04:03]
Ben Meiselas
Now, going back to Turnberry for a second as well, Donald Trump was asked by some media who was able to catch up to him about the Epstein files. And then Donald Trump's caddies and Secret Service start blasting music so Donald Trump doesn't have to hear the question. I mean, just think about this, like baby bubble that they put him in here.
[04:23]
Co-Host
Here, play this clip.
[04:25]
I don't know. It's very famous, though.
[04:29]
Ben Meiselas
And as Josh Dawsey once said in an audio we obtained for our book, 2024, Trump complained about how Secret Service agents always being in the trees and bushes of his courses made it harder to move the ball when he had a bad lie. The quote, I hit a ball down the fairway, it's in a little rough, and there's a guy standing behind a tree. Good morning, sir. And, and I got a ball with a horrible eye. I'd go like this. Nobody would know the difference. I can't because he said, they're all looking down at me. Horrible, horrible situation to be in. Now, Donald Trump's cheating in golf has been well documented before. There was a whole book on it called Commander and Cheat by Rick Riley, who goes, donald Trump cheats like a Mafia accountant. He cheats crazy. He cheats whether you're watching or not.
[05:16]
Co-Host
Here, play this clip.
[05:18]
He cheats like a Mafia accountant. Like, he cheats crazy. Cheats whether you're watching or not. He cheats whether you like it or not. He tried to cheat Tiger woods in a match. And Tiger hits it like this. He hits two balls in the water, doesn't count either, and pretends that he almost tied Tiger Woods. So it doesn't matter who he is. He has to be the winner. But really bothers me is that he's told. He told people on the campaign trail, I don't know if you remember this, but he said, I'm a winner. You got to vote for me because I've won 18 club championships. He said this three or four times, and that's against the best players in the club. But I knew he was lying because he told me how he does it. Whenever he opens a new course that he buys, he plays the first round by himself and calls that the club championship. Puts his name on the wall. Sometimes he wins club championships from another state.
[06:04]
Guest
Is there a time he was in Philadelphia and he claims he won a club championship in Bedminster?
[06:09]
Ben Meiselas
Yeah.
[06:09]
Guest
What happened?
[06:10]
Co-Host
So he's. The club championship's going on at Bedminster. He's playing in Philly at his club there. And he finishes his round. He says, hey, what won the club championship? And they said, oh, Joe Schmo shot 74. He goes, well, I shot 72 today. Make me the club champion. And the guy's like, what? Yeah, make me the club champion. And so they take Joe's name off and put Trump's up. And this happens over and over. Like he often Sundays, I've won 18 club championships. Well, he doesn't tell you they're the senior club championship or super senior or super senior. I wouldn't even know if he won those.
[06:42]
Ben Meiselas
And then, folks, Kim Jong Un style, Donald Trump awards him club championships, even though anytime he's played publicly, including the one time he was with Stormy Daniels, that time he never even makes the cut. But at his own. His own courses, he always gives himself the win. Like, he'll claim the championship actually takes place before other people start to play. So he's the only person competing in his tournament. So I think he's claimed now he's won, like, 28 championships. And he'll, like, make posts. I just won another championship. And he'll give himself trophies that he'll post on his. On his various clubs. It's, like, beyond strange. Here is more from Rick Riley, where he talks about how Donald Trump makes up just lies about what his handicap is. And Rick Riley explains what that term means in golf.
[07:31]
Co-Host
Here, playing this clip.
[07:32]
Guest
Donald Trump is a very good golfer. Yeah, all right. But he claims to be a 2.8 handicap. Explain that.
[07:39]
Co-Host
So in golf, you know, you and I can play if you're really good and I'm terrible, then you got to give me shots. So I get 10 free shots. Well, Trump says he's a 2.8, which is really, really good to give you a little idea. Jack Nicklaus is a 3.5. Jack Nicklaus. So you look, you can go on the website that shows your people's anybody in the country, you can see their handicap. He's a 2.8. But it's taken him eight years to get the 20 scores. So he's just cherry picking his best rounds. He can't cover a 2.8. No way. Everybody that's played with him, the pros, Dustin Johnson, they all say he's about a 9 or 10. So why does he have to say he's a 10? I mean a 2.8 when he's really a 10? Isn't 2 point? Isn't 10 pretty good? Why is he going to say 2.8?
[08:23]
Ben Meiselas
And this is more from Rick Riley here.
[08:25]
Co-Host
Let's play it.
[08:26]
Guest
Why does it matter that Donald Trump cheats at golf? And you write golf is like bicycle shorts and it reveals a lot about a man.
[08:33]
Co-Host
It does. And what it reveals about him is he has to win no matter what. It's not that he loves golf, he just loves beating you. So these guys always say he's fun to play with, he always wins. But then he doesn't even take your money. So it's not about beating you out of the 10 bucks. It's about showing you that he's better than you. So when he always says I'm the best player among all the rich people, nobody can beat me. He's played on television 10 times, Pebble Beach Pro Am seven times. And the Lake Tahoe thing, Stormy Daniels dime deal three times. He's never made the cut at pebble beach and at Tahoe, he's never finished in the top half. So when there's rules, guys and cameras, he's not that good. When it's just his course, his caddy, his world, he's pretty good.
[09:15]
Ben Meiselas
And here's Rick Riley again explaining everything playing this clip.

He took a gimme chip in with me. Have you ever heard of this? We're playing a bet. I'm in there for a par at 5. He's off the green in 4. He says, I guess that makes this good. He hasn't even got to the green. I said, did you just take a gimme chip in? Well, yeah, I'd have made that. So come on.

We're constantly fact checking the President and calling out when he says things that are untrue are just flat out lies. What's his response?
[11:19]
Ben Meiselas
This isn't.
[11:20]
Guest
You're not the first person to say he's a cheater. What's his response to the claims that he cheats at golf? And the proof that's in this book.
[11:26]
Co-Host
Every time he says, I never cheat. So I snuck into the Bedminster Caddyshack in New Jersey with all the caddies and I said, the President says he never cheats. And they all go no, he never cheats. And then there was this silence and I go, oh, you guys cheat for him. And they all laugh and they told they have three or four balls in the pocket. They throw it out of bunkers because he hates bunker shots. They throw it out of the rough. You know, he kicks the ball out of the rough so many times the caddies call him Pele.
[11:53]
Ben Meiselas
Now, as I mentioned, Donald Trump hosted the Saudi backed golf tournament in 2022, funneling a lot of money to himself and his family. Here is what One of the 911 family spokespeople had to say.
[12:07]
Co-Host
Let's play it.
[12:07]
I
How much money does it take to turn your back on your country, on the American people? Well, according to certain individuals such as Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson Dechambeau, Dustin Johnson and Donald Trump, that amount of money is just a few hundred million dollars. We 911 families would trade any amount of money in the world just to see our loved ones again, just to have one last hug, one conversation, one more round of golf.
[12:35]
Ben Meiselas
And here is Brett Eagleson, the president of 911 justice. And here he also reminds us all that Donald Trump covered up the Saudi files regarding 911 as well.
[12:48]
Co-Host
Here, play this clip.
[12:49]
Brett Eagleson
Brett, you've been very outspoken about the Saudi backed live golf tournament holding events in the US Some, I guess, held by the former President Donald Trump. Can you talk about that? What are your thoughts about that? I suppose you want these, these events banned, you don't want them taking place?
[13:13]
J
Yeah, I mean that's, that's a great point. And we try as an organization, I want to be very clear to all the viewers, we try to be as apolitical as possible. When 911 killed us, it didn't, it didn't kill us. It didn't differentiate right between the left and the right side of the aisle. We were the first group last year to tell President Biden to stay away from ground zero unless he honored his campaign promise to us, which was that if elected president, he would declassify the documents. Well, kudos to President Biden because he did honor that campaign promise. So I don't want to be, I don't want this taken out of context as if we're attacking one side or the other. But with President Trump or former President Trump, rather, we have a situation where we have a former president who by his own admission in 2016 when he was on the campaign trail, he is on record on FOX and Friends having said that it was the Saudis that knocked down the towers. They should open up those files and they'll see that it wasn't the Iraqis, it was the Saudis that knocked down those towers. So in 2016, the President presumed, correctly, that the Saudis did knock those, that the Saudi government did knock down those towers. Then in 2019, he met with myself, my mother and about a dozen other 911 family members, with some FBI agents, former FBI agents with us on 911 in the White House. He shook our hands and said he was going to help us and that he was going to declassify these documents some point along the line from 2019 until up until this point, up until a few months ago. All of those promises and all those predictions I think the former president forgot about because he signed a significant contract with Live Golf and he's now hosting the Saudi government golf tournament. Saudi government funded and backed golf tournament. He held it at his Bedminster course and then there's one at the live at his Florida golf course towards the end of the year.
[15:06]
Ben Meiselas
So for the Right. So I think that's an important clip because it's not just the Epstein files that he's now covering up. Back in his first term, he covered up the Saudi files after saying he was going to release it. So back during Donald Trump's first term, the Midas Touch network, before we were like became a media network, we bought this billboard in September of 2020 and we talked about how maybe if Donald Trump thought about COVID like golf, he may actually give a crap. We bought the biggest billboard in Vegas for this. Like the billboard was like almost like half a football field big. And then they banned us from buying billboards again afterwards.

We're going to lose 75, 80 to 100,000 people. They're running into death. I see that with the doctors and the nurses. It's a beautiful thing to see.
[16:49]
Ben Meiselas
Now all of the Donald Trump sycophants right now, the in the MAGA influencers are all posting things like this. Like Trump gives them their talking points and they all go out and make posts just reveal President Trump's golf swing is being shown off in Scotland and people are amazed at his form. For somebody nearly 80 years old, I think this is, you know, a good image that we posted Here It's Trump and O.J. simpson both golfing. And Trump goes, I will get to the bottom of the Epstein situation, and it's OJ Golfing. I will find the real killers. That's basically what it's like. And I think the important thing to know about Donald Trump's cheating in golf, it's like all of the lies that he tells, right? You know, you know, like the negotiations with Japan, we have. He goes, we have this great deal with Japan. They agreed to invest $550 billion. They're going to give us 90% of the profits. It's like a signing bonus. And I've been reading all the Japanese media, and I've been keeping you updated. The Japanese media are like, that's not happening. Like, that's not what we agreed to. And there's massive differences between what Japan believed they agreed to and what Trump believed that they agreed to. And so it's just, again, it's just constant lies and gaslighting, and it's the equivalent of having your caddy just place the ball and cheat. Oh, like when Donald Trump said, oh, that Qatari jet, that's just going to be a gift for me, you know, and the taxpayers are going to pay nothing. Well, it turns out there's like, a secret cost in the defense budget. $934 million is what it seems like it's going to pay to be fixed. And then I wanted to finally bring this up as well, which is that Donald Trump buried his first wife at the golf course in Bedminster, like, in the back lot area with, like, shrubs and grass growing over it. So that's how Donald Trump is using his golf course there as well, which to me is just, like, incredibly, incredibly ghoulish. So you put all of this together, and it's just Donald Trump's M.O. using golf to bury his first wife, to, like, not pay taxes. Inviting the Saudis to funnel money to spread conspiracies about 9, 11, to cheat consistently. Now, hat tip to our great crew at the Midas Touch Network for finding that clip, which has since gone mega viral. And it's gone mega viral outside of, like, politics, like, sports blogs. And they're all talking about this right now. And it started with the Midas Touch research team. So thanks for, for, for, for supporting their work.

The MeidasTouch Podcast: "Trump Caught on Camera by Meidas as Old Tapes Surface" – Detailed Summary

Introduction

In the July 28, 2025 episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, hosts Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas delve deep into exposing former President Donald Trump's questionable behavior on and off the golf course. Titled "Trump Caught on Camera by Meidas as Old Tapes Surface," this episode combines investigative journalism with the brothers' signature humor and sharp commentary to shed light on Trump's alleged dishonesty and manipulative tactics.

Exposing Donald Trump's Cheating in Golf [00:28 – 07:19]

Ben Meiselas opens the episode by highlighting a significant breakthrough from the MeidasTouch research team: footage capturing Donald Trump cheating during a golf game at Turnberry, Scotland. "The Midas Touch research team did it again. They were able to find footage from this weekend of Donald Trump cheating while playing golf" (00:28). This revelation has already garnered over 25 million views, showcasing the public's intense interest in Trump's golfing antics.

Cheating Tactics Unveiled

Ben meticulously breaks down several instances of Trump's alleged cheating:

Caddy Manipulation (01:10): Trump’s caddy is seen deliberately dropping the ball to provide Trump with a more favorable lie, thereby improving his score. "What his caddy did is caddy dropped the ball, gave Trump a better lie versus where Trump actually hit it so then that Trump could get a better score while playing."
Altered Putting Techniques (01:37): In footage from March 2020, instead of putting the ball into the hole, Trump purportedly kicks it, granting himself an easier putt. "Donald Trump [kicks] the ball and like he gives himself the putt versus actually putting."
Shanking the Ball (02:21): During his 2023 criminal and civil cases, Trump is caught shanking golf shots, revealing a pattern of dishonesty. "Right before he cheats here, you'll see him just completely shank the golf ball."
Rule Violations (02:50): In July 2024, Trump drives his golf cart over the green—a clear breach of golfing etiquette. "Donald Trump driving over the grain to hit his putt. This is completely against the rules."

Pattern of Deceit Reflecting Personal Conduct

Ben draws parallels between Trump's golf cheating and his broader behavior: "The way Donald Trump plays golf is how he lives his life. Constantly cheating and lying" (02:08). This consistent pattern of dishonesty on the golf course serves as a microcosm of his actions in personal and political arenas.

Trump’s Manipulative Hosting and 9/11 Conspiracies [10:55 – 19:27]

Transitioning from his golfing misdeeds, the podcast addresses Trump's involvement with Saudi-backed golf tournaments and his stance on 9/11 conspiracies.

Saudi-Backed Golf Tournaments and 9/11 Conspiracy Theories

Ben discusses the 2022 Saudi-backed live golf tournament hosted at Trump's Bedminster golf course. When confronted by 911 family members about the event, Trump deflects by delving into 9/11 conspiracy theories: "Well, actually, nobody's really gotten to the bottom of what happened on 9/11" (03:51). This deflection not only shifts focus from the tournament's legitimacy but also undermines the grieving families' quest for truth.

Statements from 911 Families

Brett Eagleson, president of 911 Justice, provides a powerful perspective: "How much money does it take to turn your back on your country, on the American people?... We 911 families would trade any amount of money in the world just to see our loved ones again" (12:07). Eagleson criticizes Trump for hosting events that, in his view, prioritize financial gain over national integrity and respect for the victims of 9/11.

Furthermore, Eagleson recounts Trump's broken promises regarding the declassification of 9/11 documents: "In 2016... he is on record... having said that it was the Saudis that knocked down the towers... he shook our hands and said he was going to help us and that he was going to declassify these documents" (13:12). However, Trump's actions—such as hosting Saudi-backed tournaments—suggest a betrayal of these commitments.

Historical Context and Previous Exposures

The MeidasTouch Network's long-standing efforts to hold Trump accountable are highlighted through past actions:

2020 Billboard Campaign: The network purchased a massive billboard in Las Vegas to draw attention to Trump's prioritization of golf over addressing the COVID-19 pandemic. "We bought the biggest billboard in Vegas for this. [...] They banned us from buying billboards again afterwards" (15:06).
"Commander and Cheat" by Rick Riley: The podcast references Rick Riley’s book, which details Trump's extensive cheating in golf, likening his deceit to that of a "Mafia accountant." "He cheats crazy. He cheats whether you're watching or not" (06:08).

Further Insights into Trump’s Deception

Additional examples illustrate Trump's manipulative behavior:

False Club Championships: Trump is accused of falsely claiming numerous club championships by altering scores or declaring victories without valid competition. "Whenever he opens a new course that he buys, he plays the first round by himself and calls that the club championship" (06:41).
Inflated Handicap Rankings: Trump claims an improbably low golf handicap of 2.8, which experts and fellow golfers dispute. "In golf, you and I can play if you're really good and I'm terrible... Trump says he's a 2.8, which is really, really good [...] Everybody that’s played with him, the pros, Dustin Johnson, they all say he's about a 9 or 10" (07:31).

Implications of Trump's Actions

The podcast emphasizes that Trump's cheating is not just confined to golf but is symptomatic of a broader pattern of dishonesty and manipulation:

International Relations and Business Deals: Ben draws parallels between Trump's cheating on the golf course and his misleading international negotiations, such as the disputed deal with Japan. "It's just constant lies and gaslighting, and it's the equivalent of having your caddy just place the ball and cheat" (18:32).
Personal Exploitation: The episode also touches on the somber revelation that Trump allegedly buried his first wife at the Bedminster golf course for tax benefits, adding a deeply personal and disturbing layer to the narrative of deceit (18:48).

Conclusion

Throughout the episode, The MeidasTouch Podcast meticulously documents and critiques Donald Trump's alleged dishonesty, using his golfing behavior as a metaphor for his broader ethical shortcomings. By presenting concrete evidence, including viral footage and firsthand accounts, the Meiselas brothers underscore the importance of accountability and integrity in public figures.

As the episode wraps up, Ben Meiselas acknowledges the tireless efforts of the MeidasTouch research team and encourages listeners to support their mission: "Hat tip to our great crew at the Midas Touch Network for finding that clip... Thanks for supporting their work" (19:06). This call to action reinforces the podcast's commitment to uncovering and challenging misinformation and misconduct in the political sphere.

Notable Quotes

Ben Meiselas (00:28): "The Midas Touch research team did it again. They were able to find footage from this weekend of Donald Trump cheating while playing golf."
Brett Eagleson (12:07): "We 911 families would trade any amount of money in the world just to see our loved ones again."
Co-Host (07:31): "Trump says he's a 2.8 [handicap], which is really, really good. [...] Everybody that's played with him, the pros, Dustin Johnson, they all say he's about a 9 or 10."
Ben Meiselas (19:06): "Hat tip to our great crew at the Midas Touch Network for finding that clip... Thanks for supporting their work."

Final Thoughts

The MeidasTouch Podcast continues to position itself as a vigilant watchdog in the political landscape, leveraging detailed research and passionate discourse to inform and engage its audience. This episode not only exposes specific instances of Donald Trump's alleged misconduct but also invites listeners to critically assess the integrity of their leaders.

The Midas Touch research team did it again. They were able to find footage from this weekend of Donald Trump cheating while playing golf. Let me just show you the footage that we busted Donald Trump cheating. It's been viewed now over like 25 million times. But I want to make broader points about how Donald Trump uses his golf courses to cheat to host the Saudis for their live golf tournament and spread 911 conspiracy theories. How he uses his Bedminster golf course to bury his first wife to get ghoulish tax benefits from it. I want to go through this step by step. But first, here's what the Midas Touch research team was able to identify this weekend. Donald Trump cheating in Turnberry, Scotland.

Now, you saw right there what is caddy did is caddy dropped the ball, gave Trump a better lie versus where Trump actually hit it so then that Trump could get a better score while playing. Here is it, here' version of it just slowed down just so you can see it in case you missed it in the first video.

Now we've been documenting this over the course of many years because again, the way Donald Trump plays golf is how he lives his life. Constantly cheating and lying. And so here is Donald Trump from March 2020 21. Rather than actually putt the ball into the hole, Donald Trump kind of just like hits it and like kicks it in and then he gives himself the putt versus actually putting.

And here was Donald Trump during his criminal and civil cases back in 2023. He went out golfing. You can see what it's like when he's caught in. And like right before he cheats here, you'll see him just completely shank the the golf ball.

Ben Meiselas
Oh, he shanked it.
[02:48]
Co-Host
Oh my God. I got that on video.
[02:51]
Ben Meiselas
And here's Donald Trump driving over the grain to hit his putt. This is from July 2024. This is completely against the rules. You're not supposed to drive your golf cart over the green where people putt.

Now here is the video of Donald Trump at his Bedminster golf course in 2022 hosting the Saudi backed live golf tournament. And when Donald Trump was asked about the 911 families who were protesting this event at Bedminster, Donald Trump said, well, actually, nobody's really gotten to the bottom of what happened on 9 11. What does that mean? Of course they have. Here, play this clip associated with the.
[03:42]
Brett Eagleson
City of New York. You of all people understand the passion surrounding 9 11. What do you say to those family members who protested earlier this week and will be doing so again on Friday?
[03:52]
Guest
Well, nobody's gotten to the bottom of 9 11. Unfort, and they should have. As to the maniacs that did that horrible thing to our city, to our country, to the world. So nobody's really been there.
[04:03]
Ben Meiselas
Now, going back to Turnberry for a second as well, Donald Trump was asked by some media who was able to catch up to him about the Epstein files. And then Donald Trump's caddies and Secret Service start blasting music so Donald Trump doesn't have to hear the question. I mean, just think about this, like baby bubble that they put him in here.
[04:23]
Co-Host
Here, play this clip.
[04:25]
I don't know. It's very famous, though.
[04:29]
Ben Meiselas
And as Josh Dawsey once said in an audio we obtained for our book, 2024, Trump complained about how Secret Service agents always being in the trees and bushes of his courses made it harder to move the ball when he had a bad lie. The quote, I hit a ball down the fairway, it's in a little rough, and there's a guy standing behind a tree. Good morning, sir. And, and I got a ball with a horrible eye. I'd go like this. Nobody would know the difference. I can't because he said, they're all looking down at me. Horrible, horrible situation to be in. Now, Donald Trump's cheating in golf has been well documented before. There was a whole book on it called Commander and Cheat by Rick Riley, who goes, donald Trump cheats like a Mafia accountant. He cheats crazy. He cheats whether you're watching or not.
[05:16]
Co-Host
Here, play this clip.
[05:18]
He cheats like a Mafia accountant. Like, he cheats crazy. Cheats whether you're watching or not. He cheats whether you like it or not. He tried to cheat Tiger woods in a match. And Tiger hits it like this. He hits two balls in the water, doesn't count either, and pretends that he almost tied Tiger Woods. So it doesn't matter who he is. He has to be the winner. But really bothers me is that he's told. He told people on the campaign trail, I don't know if you remember this, but he said, I'm a winner. You got to vote for me because I've won 18 club championships. He said this three or four times, and that's against the best players in the club. But I knew he was lying because he told me how he does it. Whenever he opens a new course that he buys, he plays the first round by himself and calls that the club championship. Puts his name on the wall. Sometimes he wins club championships from another state.
[06:04]
Guest
Is there a time he was in Philadelphia and he claims he won a club championship in Bedminster?
[06:09]
Ben Meiselas
Yeah.
[06:09]
Guest
What happened?
[06:10]
Co-Host
So he's. The club championship's going on at Bedminster. He's playing in Philly at his club there. And he finishes his round. He says, hey, what won the club championship? And they said, oh, Joe Schmo shot 74. He goes, well, I shot 72 today. Make me the club champion. And the guy's like, what? Yeah, make me the club champion. And so they take Joe's name off and put Trump's up. And this happens over and over. Like he often Sundays, I've won 18 club championships. Well, he doesn't tell you they're the senior club championship or super senior or super senior. I wouldn't even know if he won those.
[06:42]
Ben Meiselas
And then, folks, Kim Jong Un style, Donald Trump awards him club championships, even though anytime he's played publicly, including the one time he was with Stormy Daniels, that time he never even makes the cut. But at his own. His own courses, he always gives himself the win. Like, he'll claim the championship actually takes place before other people start to play. So he's the only person competing in his tournament. So I think he's claimed now he's won, like, 28 championships. And he'll, like, make posts. I just won another championship. And he'll give himself trophies that he'll post on his. On his various clubs. It's, like, beyond strange. Here is more from Rick Riley, where he talks about how Donald Trump makes up just lies about what his handicap is. And Rick Riley explains what that term means in golf.
[07:31]

Donald Trump is a very good golfer. Yeah, all right. But he claims to be a 2.8 handicap. Explain that.
[07:39]
Co-Host
So in golf, you know, you and I can play if you're really good and I'm terrible, then you got to give me shots. So I get 10 free shots. Well, Trump says he's a 2.8, which is really, really good to give you a little idea. Jack Nicklaus is a 3.5. Jack Nicklaus. So you look, you can go on the website that shows your people's anybody in the country, you can see their handicap. He's a 2.8. But it's taken him eight years to get the 20 scores. So he's just cherry picking his best rounds. He can't cover a 2.8. No way. Everybody that's played with him, the pros, Dustin Johnson, they all say he's about a 9 or 10. So why does he have to say he's a 10? I mean a 2.8 when he's really a 10? Isn't 2 point? Isn't 10 pretty good? Why is he going to say 2.8?
[08:23]
Ben Meiselas
And this is more from Rick Riley here.
[08:25]
Co-Host
Let's play it.
[08:26]
Guest
Why does it matter that Donald Trump cheats at golf? And you write golf is like bicycle shorts and it reveals a lot about a man.
[08:33]
Co-Host
It does. And what it reveals about him is he has to win no matter what. It's not that he loves golf, he just loves beating you. So these guys always say he's fun to play with, he always wins. But then he doesn't even take your money. So it's not about beating you out of the 10 bucks. It's about showing you that he's better than you. So when he always says I'm the best player among all the rich people, nobody can beat me. He's played on television 10 times, Pebble Beach Pro Am seven times. And the Lake Tahoe thing, Stormy Daniels dime deal three times. He's never made the cut at pebble beach and at Tahoe, he's never finished in the top half. So when there's rules, guys and cameras, he's not that good. When it's just his course, his caddy, his world, he's pretty good.
[09:15]

And here's Rick Riley again explaining everything playing this clip.

He took a gimme chip in with me. Have you ever heard of this? We're playing a bet. I'm in there for a par at 5. He's off the green in 4. He says, I guess that makes this good. He hasn't even got to the green. I said, did you just take a gimme chip in? Well, yeah, I'd have made that. So come on.

We're constantly fact checking the President and calling out when he says things that are untrue are just flat out lies. What's his response?
[11:19]
Ben Meiselas
This isn't.
[11:20]
Guest
You're not the first person to say he's a cheater. What's his response to the claims that he cheats at golf? And the proof that's in this book.
[11:26]
Co-Host
Every time he says, I never cheat. So I snuck into the Bedminster Caddyshack in New Jersey with all the caddies and I said, the President says he never cheats. And they all go no, he never cheats. And then there was this silence and I go, oh, you guys cheat for him. And they all laugh and they told they have three or four balls in the pocket. They throw it out of bunkers because he hates bunker shots. They throw it out of the rough. You know, he kicks the ball out of the rough so many times the caddies call him Pele.

Now, as I mentioned, Donald Trump hosted the Saudi backed golf tournament in 2022, funneling a lot of money to himself and his family. Here is what One of the 911 family spokespeople had to say.
[12:07]
Co-Host
Let's play it.

How much money does it take to turn your back on your country, on the American people? Well, according to certain individuals such as Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson Dechambeau, Dustin Johnson and Donald Trump, that amount of money is just a few hundred million dollars. We 911 families would trade any amount of money in the world just to see our loved ones again, just to have one last hug, one conversation, one more round of golf.
[12:35]
Ben Meiselas
And here is Brett Eagleson, the president of 911 justice. And here he also reminds us all that Donald Trump covered up the Saudi files regarding 911 as well.
[12:48]
Co-Host
Here, play this clip.
[12:49]
Brett Eagleson
Brett, you've been very outspoken about the Saudi backed live golf tournament holding events in the US Some, I guess, held by the former President Donald Trump. Can you talk about that? What are your thoughts about that? I suppose you want these, these events banned, you don't want them taking place?
[13:13]
J
Yeah, I mean that's, that's a great point. And we try as an organization, I want to be very clear to all the viewers, we try to be as apolitical as possible. When 911 killed us, it didn't, it didn't kill us. It didn't differentiate right between the left and the right side of the aisle. We were the first group last year to tell President Biden to stay away from ground zero unless he honored his campaign promise to us, which was that if elected president, he would declassify the documents. Well, kudos to President Biden because he did honor that campaign promise. So I don't want to be, I don't want this taken out of context as if we're attacking one side or the other. But with President Trump or former President Trump, rather, we have a situation where we have a former president who by his own admission in 2016 when he was on the campaign trail, he is on record on FOX and Friends having said that it was the Saudis that knocked down the towers. They should open up those files and they'll see that it wasn't the Iraqis, it was the Saudis that knocked down those towers. So in 2016, the President presumed, correctly, that the Saudis did knock those, that the Saudi government did knock down those towers. Then in 2019, he met with myself, my mother and about a dozen other 911 family members, with some FBI agents, former FBI agents with us on 911 in the White House. He shook our hands and said he was going to help us and that he was going to declassify these documents some point along the line from 2019 until up until this point, up until a few months ago. All of those promises and all those predictions I think the former president forgot about because he signed a significant contract with Live Golf and he's now hosting the Saudi government golf tournament. Saudi government funded and backed golf tournament. He held it at his Bedminster course and then there's one at the live at his Florida golf course towards the end of the year.
[15:06]
Ben Meiselas
So for the Right. So I think that's an important clip because it's not just the Epstein files that he's now covering up. Back in his first term, he covered up the Saudi files after saying he was going to release it. So back during Donald Trump's first term, the Midas Touch network, before we were like became a media network, we bought this billboard in September of 2020 and we talked about how maybe if Donald Trump thought about COVID like golf, he may actually give a crap. We bought the biggest billboard in Vegas for this. Like the billboard was like almost like half a football field big. And then they banned us from buying billboards again afterwards.

Now all of the Donald Trump sycophants right now, the in the MAGA influencers are all posting things like this. Like Trump gives them their talking points and they all go out and make posts just reveal President Trump's golf swing is being shown off in Scotland and people are amazed at his form. For somebody nearly 80 years old, I think this is, you know, a good image that we posted Here It's Trump and O.J. simpson both golfing. And Trump goes, I will get to the bottom of the Epstein situation, and it's OJ Golfing. I will find the real killers. That's basically what it's like. And I think the important thing to know about Donald Trump's cheating in golf, it's like all of the lies that he tells, right? You know, you know, like the negotiations with Japan, we have. He goes, we have this great deal with Japan. They agreed to invest $550 billion. They're going to give us 90% of the profits. It's like a signing bonus. And I've been reading all the Japanese media, and I've been keeping you updated. The Japanese media are like, that's not happening. Like, that's not what we agreed to. And there's massive differences between what Japan believed they agreed to and what Trump believed that they agreed to. And so it's just, again, it's just constant lies and gaslighting, and it's the equivalent of having your caddy just place the ball and cheat. Oh, like when Donald Trump said, oh, that Qatari jet, that's just going to be a gift for me, you know, and the taxpayers are going to pay nothing. Well, it turns out there's like, a secret cost in the defense budget. $934 million is what it seems like it's going to pay to be fixed. And then I wanted to finally bring this up as well, which is that Donald Trump buried his first wife at the golf course in Bedminster, like, in the back lot area with, like, shrubs and grass growing over it. So that's how Donald Trump is using his golf course there as well, which to me is just, like, incredibly, incredibly ghoulish. So you put all of this together, and it's just Donald Trump's M.O. using golf to bury his first wife, to, like, not pay taxes. Inviting the Saudis to funnel money to spread conspiracies about 9, 11, to cheat consistently. Now, hat tip to our great crew at the Midas Touch Network for finding that clip, which has since gone mega viral. And it's gone mega viral outside of, like, politics, like, sports blogs. And they're all talking about this right now. And it started with the Midas Touch research team. So thanks for, for, for, for supporting their work.
