President Biden poked fun at former President Trump for boasting about winning two golf trophies at his own golf club’s awards last night on Sunday.

“Congratulations, Donald. Quite the accomplishment,” Biden wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Biden attached a screengrab of Trump’s post earlier in the night on Truth Social.

“It is my great honor to be at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach tonight, AWARDS NIGHT, to receive THE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY & THE SENIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY. I WON BOTH!” Trump wrote in the Truth Social post.

    It goes right to the point that there is a well oiled Biden machine team

    Really?

    Last election it took over a billion dollars for Biden to beat Trump by 30k votes.

    If his campaign team is that great, and it still costs that much…

    Wouldn’t it be easy if the candidate was pretty much anyone besides Biden?

    Beating trump isn’t hard, it just is when you run historically unpopular neoliberals that are more conservative than the party platform against him.

        That if Biden really has “the best people” and it costs over a billion dollars to beat trump last time…

        Running Biden again when he’s less popular seems like an incredibly stupid decision.

        That the DNC has been doing incredibly stupid shit for decades, and show no signs of improving.

        The wealthy bought both parties long ago, and things will never get better if people keep holding their noses and voting D no matter what.

        We used to have primaries. But NH may never have one again.

        I’d say it’s not complicated, but standards keep dropping. So if you still don’t get, be specific what’s giving you difficulty and I’ll put some time.in to help you

          I don’t hear you pitching any solutions that are viable between now and November. Did you really expect the DNC to not run the incumbent?

            Running a candidate that didn’t take a billion fucking dollars to beat Trump by 30k votes…

            We’re just going in circles where you pretend running Biden is the only option.

            It’s unlikely to work, even tho I hope it does. But it doesn’t seem like you want to acknowledge that.

            The primary isn’t over, it’s not too late. The DNC and Biden have just been saying it was too late since before the primary started.

              Biden isn’t an inspirational candidate. Not hard to admit. Who do you think stands a chance of unifying the DNC before November?

                I agree with the sentiment but I also want to say that the DNC doesn’t choose the nominee in the way the person you are replying to thinks. No candidate who has a credible chance of being present decided to run in the primary. We can’t just hope that a shadowy backroom DNC deal (which only exists in the minds of those without a sophisticated understanding of us party politics) to force a whittmer or newsom or any other democrat in a position to run a national campaign to actually run for president. Political leaders make their own choice if they want to run and while that choice is influenced by party insiders and any other number of factors but at the end of the day of all candidates who decided to run for the democratic nomination - Biden is the most credible and capable candidate. The DNC can’t just pick a name and run them.

                a name

                AOC would be a walk in victory against trump. But you could also pick 90% of Congress with a D next to their name and have a better shot than Biden.

                  As soon as you say “AOC” you lose a decent chunk of independents. You really think she can get enough enthusiasm among the base to outweigh that?

                  Not to mention how fired up the Republicans will be to vote against her, of all people. You’d see MASSIVE Republican turnout.

                    Oh…

                    You believe the third of the country that dont vote because both parties are too similar are between the two parties policy wise…

                    There’s zero evidence of that

                    And when you ask them in polls, they say both parties are too right wing.

                    You’d see MASSIVE Republican turnout.

                    We’d see the same amount, they say Biden is a goddamn communist. The good part of them always saying that, is it literally doesn’t fucking matter how progressive the dem is.

                    None of what you’re saying is factually correct, but I guess we’re all entitled to opinions.

                    You also ignore the part I knew you would:

                    But you could also pick 90% of Congress with a D next to their name and have a better shot than Biden.

                    There’s no such thing as a perfect candidate, but it’s pretty hard to find one worse than Biden that still has a D next to their name.

      Well technically trump was beat by a whole whole lot more than that, it’s just that the US election system is rather fucked up to the point that it constantly allows a religious extremist minority to actually win

        So your plan is to ignore how our system works and say everything will be fine?

        How’d that work out in 2016? For some reason I remember everything going to shit and missed our first female president.

        Biden is doing worse in those handful of battleground states and it’s damn near a coin flip if he can beat trump.

        Popular nationwide vote doesn’t mean shit. But this time Biden isn’t even leading nationally. More people want neither option than either trump or Biden. Neither are good candidates, they’re complete dog shit and shouldn’t be in the general. But neither party really let primaries happen this cycle.

        So “technically” Biden won by less than 30k votes in a few states.

      Wouldn’t it be easy if the candidate was pretty much anyone besides Biden?

      I wouldn’t be so sure about that. One of the things Biden brings to the table is that he can take Trump seriously, while credibly calling Trump on his bullshit. Hillary didn’t seem to comprehend that Trump had a serious political following at all.

      Biden has had a richer set of life experiences, and I think he understands how Trump has appeal to some voters who are in hard times right now. And Biden seems to enjoy the fight a bit more. He’s not afraid to get down to Trump’s level and throw some punches himself. And Biden’s punches land.

      Can you really see anyone other Candidate calling Trump out on shit like this, without having it sound like whining? Yes, Biden is not directly maintaining this account, but it’s run on his behalf, and it’s message is directly tied to the candidate. Could you really see Dean Phillips pulling this off? Or Kamala Harris?

        Biden has had a richer set of life experiences

        He’s 81 fucking years old, not a 60 year old with experience.

        He has multiple lifetimes of experience, which is a bad thing because someone at 81 isn’t as together as they were 20 years ago.

        It’s just not how humans work, were not fucking tortoises…
