Troubling video footage of Donald Trump has prompted yet another round of questions as the president faces fresh allegations of cheating at golf. Over the weekend, Trump purportedly declared himself the victor of both the club and senior championships at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf facility, posting a 70 to finish two-under par.

However, given his supposed track record of bending the rules on the course, some observers have questioned the decisive triumph. "The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship!" Trump posted on Truth Social alongside a video of his final putt.

"Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a score of 70, and am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I'm given very little time to practice, because I'm focused on many other things. It's called TALENT, and I have it, and they don't!" It comes as Trump made a "ravaging" claim about men in women's sport.

Following Trump's remarkable performance, footage of the 80 year old disembarking from Marine One has raised further questions about his physical capabilities. In one widely shared video posted on Tuesday, Trump can be observed carefully descending a staircase leading to the helicopter before traversing the runway with what looks like a minor limp.

In the comments section, countless viewers were swift to ridicule Trump's unsteady walk, which emerged just days after his alleged club championship triumph.

"That body shot a 70 and won a tourney two days ago," one X user sarcastically posted, with another contributing: "Firing that 70 on the links two days ago sure took a lot of him."

A third remarked: "Your reigning and defending Bedminster Golf Club Champion everyone."

Despite the considerable responsibilities already demanding his attention, Trump has consistently carved out space in his packed schedule for golf.

Since his return to the White House last January, he's clocked up a remarkable 125 days on the course - representing roughly 22.2 per cent of his presidency, according to Did Trump Golf Today?

Nevertheless, Trump, who allegedly holds an improbable 2.8 handicap with the USGA, has repeatedly exaggerated his golfing prowess, even claiming to have captured at least 40 club championships across his 15 premier golf properties worldwide.

Sports journalist Rick Reilly - who authored the 2019 book Commander in Cheat, investigating Trump's multiple golf cheating allegations - dismantled this bold claim by exposing how the POTUS accumulates dubious victories in these tournaments.

"Trump's going around telling people he has won 20. But that's 100 percent a lie," Reilly told Vox back in 2019. "I actually played with him once, and he told me how he does it.

"Whenever he opens a new golf course, because he owns 14 and operates another five, he plays the first club champion by himself and declares that the club championship and puts his name on the wall."
