President Biden poked fun at formerĀ President TrumpĀ for boasting about winning two golf trophies at his own golf clubā€™s awards last night on Sunday.

ā€œCongratulations, Donald. Quite the accomplishment,ā€ Biden wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Biden attached a screengrab of Trumpā€™s post earlier in the night on Truth Social.

ā€œIt 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!ā€ Trump wrote in the Truth Social post.

    That if Biden really has ā€œthe best peopleā€ and it costs over a billion dollars to beat trump last timeā€¦

    Running Biden again when heā€™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.

    Iā€™d say itā€™s not complicated, but standards keep dropping. So if you still donā€™t get, be specific whatā€™s giving you difficulty and Iā€™ll put some time.in to help you

      I donā€™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 didnā€™t take a billion fucking dollars to beat Trump by 30k votesā€¦

        Weā€™re just going in circles where you pretend running Biden is the only option.

        Itā€™s unlikely to work, even tho I hope it does. But it doesnā€™t seem like you want to acknowledge that.

        The primary isnā€™t over, itā€™s not too late. The DNC and Biden have just been saying it was too late since before the primary started.

          Biden isnā€™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 doesnā€™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 canā€™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 canā€™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 ā€œAOCā€ 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. Youā€™d see MASSIVE Republican turnout.

                Ohā€¦

                You believe the third of the country that dont vote because both parties are too similar are between the two parties policy wiseā€¦

                Thereā€™s zero evidence of that

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

                Youā€™d see MASSIVE Republican turnout.

                Weā€™d see the same amount, they say Biden is a goddamn communist. The good part of them always saying that, is it literally doesnā€™t fucking matter how progressive the dem is.

                None of what youā€™re saying is factually correct, but I guess weā€™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.

                Thereā€™s no such thing as a perfect candidate, but itā€™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. Yā€™all would turn on Bernie too. Only perfection is good enough for you, and perfection doesnā€™t exist. Thatā€™s why the only candidates you can endorse are those that havenā€™t had a realistic shot of winning before. You just donā€™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.

                    And Iā€™m sure youā€™re the type of person who thinks ā€œwinningā€ an exchange is replying last, so congrats! Youā€™ll always ā€œwinā€ with me now because Iā€™ll never see a single comment you ever make again.

                    Have fun ā€œwinningā€
