Donald Trump had six inevitable words after hitting a killer shot during his golf round with Bryson DeChambeau: “Do you think Biden can do it?”
Trump was the last special guest at DeChambeau’s ‘Break 50’ YouTube series in which the US Open champion and a partner attempt to play nine holes in under 50 strokes from the red tees, the furthest-forward tees on each hole.
And after hitting an incredible shot on the second hole, the 78-year-old joked – before Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he was dropping out of the presidential race – that his then-rival wouldn’t be able to do it.
He made the exact same call to Biden when he played at a 2022 LIV Golf pro-am event in Miami. After teeing off, he said, “You think Biden can do that? I don’t think so.”
While playing with DeChambeau, Trump referenced his memorable exchange with Biden about golf handicaps during last month’s presidential debate.

“We had a fight about golf,” he told the two-time major winner. “Can you believe it?”
Trump certainly made an impression in the video, following up his stunning second-hole dart with a birdie on the ninth hole, which he completed without any assistance.
“This is pretty impressive,” a stunned DeChambeau said at one point in the video. “I didn’t expect this.”
Trump also made an incredible putt on the 18th hole. The two men scored a par of -22 and thus achieved a score of exactly 50. They thus barely managed to overcome the challenge.
However, it is the lowest score DeChambeau has ever achieved with a guest on his Break 50 series.
Before Biden announced his resignation, the golf star recently offered to help him take his presidential battle with Trump from the stage to the tee box after they deviated into negative conversations about golf handicaps during last month’s live TV debate.
The debate spiraled out of control when the two older candidates mocked each other’s golf game after answering questions from CNN host Dana Bash about concerns voters had expressed about their age.

But he couldn’t resist taking a swipe at his rival Biden, who has since withdrawn from the race for the presidency.
Their bickering led to Trump and Biden clashing over their disabilities.
Trump’s appearance on DeChambeau’s YouTube series preceded Biden’s big announcement over the weekend, likely pitting Trump against Kamala Harris this fall.
And after the current president ruled himself out of running for re-election later this year, his arch-rival refused to show him any sympathy.
“Joe Biden is by far the worst president in the history of the United States,” Trump said. “There has never been a president who has done more damage to our country. From energy independence to allowing millions and millions of illegal immigrants into the country.”
DeChambeau, who defeated Rory McIlroy on a dramatic final day of the US Open earlier this year, clarified on social media that inviting Trump to his YouTube series was in no way a political statement.

Instead, he and Trump agreed to donate $10,000 for every stroke they scored under par to a charity that supports America’s veterans and active military.
“To be clear, this is about golf and giving back to our country’s veterans, not politics,” DeChambeau wrote on X.
‘A few weeks ago I reached out to both parties’ presidential campaigns and @realDonaldTrump rose to the challenge.
“It is an incredible honor to play golf with a sitting or former president. Everyone is welcome to join me for a game of Break 50 at any time.”
