I wasn't going to post this, but Donald Trump posted it. Whether than means the lip-reading is accurate, I don't know, but here it is:

Trump would kick Barack’s sorry ass on the front nine. Barack played way more in office than any of them and had the propaganda media to pump his golf game. Trump is the guy guys like Barack think is a mark then they have to bring in a shoe box full of money to pay all those presses they lost…

Just so you know, Arnold Palmer did not like Trump. He hated golf cheats. "If a guy is going to cheat you on the golf course he's going to cheat you in business."

Amazing how Trump being such a big cheater at golf didn’t bother Jack Nicklaus. Speaks volumes about Arnold and Jack.

It was hard to match Obama's transcript with his lip movements--it didn't look real to me. It was funny, but mean-spirited. Like Trump is trying to make Obama regret being personable and pleasant.

Skeptical Voter said...

I'll take the "transcript" and enjoy it. But nice to see that at least one of the Never Trumpers is still posting here. Keeps them off the streets and out of mischief so to speak.

Over the summer, I spent an afternoon with a sports writer who once accompanied Bill Clinton on the golf course. He said Bill was a shameless cheater. Nobody really cared.

Mikey NTH said...

It may not be accurate but it certainly seemed right - fake but accurate.

Spiros said...

This video looks fake. But in the real video, it absolutely looks like Obama said "I'm glad you won," which was immediately followed with an icy glare from Kamala. So who knows what the hell is going on...

rhhardin said...

So it wasn't "I found your birth certificate"

rehajm said...

Ken Venturi thought Arnie cheated at the 1958 Masters….

rehajm said...

…just so you know..

rehajm said...

Barack is the golf equivalent of Mr & Mrs Havercamp…

wild chicken said...

How did they do this? It sounds like them - is it some AI fake? Lmao

RCOCEAN II said...

LOL. Trump reposting = Trump. the greatest troll in history.

RCOCEAN II said...

What makes it even funnier: This could be true.

RCOCEAN II said...

Fake - but accurate. BTW, I'm looking at Mr. and Mrs. Kam Harris. And I don't think they've ever had sex. With each other.

RCOCEAN II said...

BTW, American Sportswriters are the biggest losers, ever. Ever. They work in the toy department of news. And they are upset about it. So, they try to be the biggest leftwing followers of the party line and the most vicious partisans. Cf: Kieth Olbermann and Rick Reilly (real name Rick Rosenbaum).

Eva Marie said...

Community notes: there is no record of Arnold Oalmer quoted as saying Donald Trump cheated. At most Palmer’s daughter said that her dad hadn’t liked Trump.

Eva Marie said...

Aristocracy you did something tricky there. You made 2 separate statements. One has nothing to do with the other. That’s all you guys got left.

Eva Marie said...

(I hate spell check) Aristocracy = Kakistocracy.

Nice said...

We need a tag of things you weren't going to post.

MadisonMan said...

Hillary looked old. I know she is old. But she does look old too.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Trump has insight.

rhhardin said...

hippocracy rule by horses

Martin said...

Or Trump just thinks it's funny.

heyboom said...

@eva Which is also unverifiable.

Blair said...

This is the most fake, but accurate thing ever.

Narr said...

I liked the music.

Yes, that’s also true. Arnold Palmer isn’t around to fact check her.

Clark said...

Music is from the Sibelius tone poem Finlandia. It warms my Yooper soul. Did Carter have some kind of Finland connection I wonder?

Clyde said...

Well, after 100 years, he's Finnished.

Yancey Ward said...

Oh, come on- this is clearly a fake version of whatever they talked about. Trump reposted because he thought it was funny.

Dave Begley said...

Totally accurate transcript. Totally.

Narr said...

I know, but didn't want to show off.

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...

Surely.

NYT tomorrow: 49 Hard-Left Expert Lip-Readers Say Trump Transcript False

MadTownGuy said...

In the title of the post, "whether than" probably should be "whether that."

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...

Something to remember among all the cut and thrust of vile partisanship is that Trump and Obama are members of a very exclusive club. Five members and one of them is insensate. Perhaps oddly, I would bet Trump finds Obama the least personally objectionable.

Dude1394 said...

Clinton is a pedophile, bush is a jerk, Obama is gay but Trump doesn’t care about that.

TaeJohnDo said...

It is a great transcript. A big beautiful and great transcript. The greatest transcript in America.

gspencer said...

This reminded me of the Coppola/Hackman film "The Conversation" (1974).

I played golf in Vegas and my caddy had been Bill's caddy just a few days before. He said Bill cheated a lot and gave himself gimmies on 20 foot putts and the like. As the caddy was tallying up Biil's score, a SS agent came up and said "Just give him an 83. He always gets an 83." My first time on the course. Played by the rules. Score? 83!

Wince said...

I can't be accused of cheating when I don't keep score.

"I don't play golf... for money... against people."

NKP said...

There's cheating and there's "cheating". If you're playing for a trophy or have a wager, there are rules that must be followed.

If you're out for the fresh air and companionship and the enjoyment of sinking a six-footer now and then, rules are more 'personal'. In fact, if you blast a drive 250 yards right down the middle and think you 'have to' hit it out a deep gouge in the earth left by another golfer, you are a bit anal and probably not a very happy person.

Readering said...

Both Obama and Trump were in professions, litigator and real estate salesman, where they made bs small talk as part of the job even before politics.

She looks like George Soros twin.
