Fans on social media have reacted to Donald Trump showing off his golfing skills amid his debate-and-golf challenge to President Joe Biden. The former American President has been engaged in a public debate with Biden over their golf abilities. Earlier, Trump had questioned Biden's claim of having a golf handicap of 6.
He has also challenged the President to a charity golf match. More recently, Trump shared a video showing him practicing his golf swing, on his Truth Social account. The clip was posted by @TrumpDailyPosts on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption:
"Donald Trump Truth Social 01:37 PM EST 07/12/24"
Some fans praised Trump for his swing skills in the replies:
"Joe Biden could never," wrote a fan.
"Nice inside out swing!," another fan commented.
Meanwhile, another fan praised the former American President for playing golf at 78.
"President Trump is sexier and more athletic than most men half his age," a fan jotted.
Another fan compared Trump's swing to that of former Masters winner Jon Rahm.
"Trumps swing is a lot like Jon Rahm's. Shorter back swing but a lot of power coming through the ball. I'm not saying Trump is as good as Rahm,.... I'm only making a swing observation," the fan commented.

Donald Trump challenges Joe Biden to $1 Million Charity Golf Match
After last month's debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, the former President has challenged Biden to another debate, offering him an opportunity to "redeem himself in front of the entire world."
During a campaign rally in Florida, Trump also challenged the American President to an 18-hole golf match. Trump pledged to donate $1 million to charity if Biden wins the golf match.
"I'm also officially challenging Joe to an 18-hole golf match right here," Trump said (via Business Standard)."If he wins, I will give the charity of his choice, any charity that he wants, USD 1 million. And I'll bet you he doesn't take the offer. What that match will do is prove that Joe is, in fact, all talk and no action."
However, the Biden campaign firmly declined the challenge. His spokesman, James Singer, said Biden "doesn't have time for Donald Trump's weird antics". He further added that the President is busy leading the country and went on to challenge Trump to "create jobs."
Trump and Biden are both avid golfers and have been spotted playing the sport, leading fans online to play up scenarios of the two playing a round together. Interestingly, LIV golfer Bryson DeChambeau even offered to host a match between Trump and Biden on his YouTube channel.
"Let’s settle this whole handicap debate, I’ll host the golf match on my YouTube @realDonaldTrump@JoeBiden," DeChambeau tweeted.
Trump enjoys playing golf and boasts a handicap of 2.8, according to Golf Digest. As per Jack Nicklaus, Trump "loves the game more than he loves money."
