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.

      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.

            Any candidate that the Left would pick would instantly be torn apart for not being perfect. Y’all would turn on Bernie too. Only perfection is good enough for you, and perfection doesn’t exist. That’s why the only candidates you can endorse are those that haven’t had a realistic shot of winning before. You just don’t know enough about them to find something to disqualify them in your eyes.

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

            This is called an echo chamber and is not reality.

              You’re fucking exhausting.

              And I’m sure you’re the type of person who thinks “winning” an exchange is replying last, so congrats! You’ll always “win” with me now because I’ll never see a single comment you ever make again.

              Have fun “winning”
