Here's How President Trump Cheats At Golf, Pathetic Rick Reilly Tells MSNBC

Rick Reilly, the ex-Sports Illustrated columnist, who turned that job into a career at ESPN, is making the rounds again and re-telling the same stories about President Donald Trump cheats at golf that he's been rambling on about for years. 

In a new interview with "Deadline White House" with Nicolle Wallace, Reilly, 66, retold stories he's been telling since at least 2019 when he released his golf hit piece on Trump, Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump.

"I’ve always said golf is like bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a guy," Reilly told Wallace. "And what it reveals about this guy is that he cannot lose. He has to win and he will do anything to cheat."

"And I know because I played golf with him and he took seven mulligans. He took a 'gimme chip-in.' I’ve never even heard of a 'gimme chip-in,'" he added.

Rick, I hate to break it to you, but that is the same behavior going on at tens of thousands of golf courses around the world. 

Listen to this lunatic who loses sleep over this stuff. 

"What he does [is] he just calls in and goes, ‘I usually beat that guy, give me the trophy,’" Reilly rambled on.

"And I know this because when I play with him, he goes, ‘You know what I do to win these championships, don’t ya?’ and I go, ‘Please tell me. Give it to me.’ And he goes, ‘Anytime I buy a new course, I play the first round all by myself and then I declare myself the club champion,’" the formerly great sports columnist continued. "So that’s what kind of guy this is."

Now, how do we know Rick Reilly is a complete fool? From this quote to Wallace. 

"Well, I don’t know anything about politics, but I know about golf," he said. "I’ve covered it for about 45 years. It’s not a sport where you can cheat. It's just not in the game." 

This is hands down one of the most insane quotes in the history of lunatics losing their mind over Trump's antics. 

Golf isn't a game where you can cheat? Rick, come on. 

(I actually went back to make sure that's exactly how it came out of Rick's mouth. It's word for word.)

From this quote, I am left to assume that Rick has never played in a golf scramble to raise funds for the local fire department, or to raise money for the local baseball team and a team turns in a 46 on its scorecard?

The funniest part about Rick's continually bitching about Trump cheating at golf is that real golfers that go out and crush 10 beers, suck down three dogs at the 19th hole, play $100 through the Keno machine and drop f-bombs with their buddies even care what Trump does on the golf course. 

The guy takes seven mulligans? 

So do the guys I go on golf trips with. Those guys finish on 18 and they start talking about how great their round was. That's how the sport operates for many, many guys. 

One of Rick's big claims is that Trump has a "turbo-charged golf cart that goes three times as fast" as his competitors, which allows him to get to his ball to use a foot wedge when his competitors aren't looking. 

In other words, Trump is like 85% of the guys I've golfed with over the last decade. 

"One time in L.A. he was playing $50 a hole with these three guys. He hits it in the pond. They see the splash. By the time they get there, [the ball’s] in the middle of the fairway, and they’re like, ‘What the f— Donald,’ and then he goes, ‘It must have been the tide,’" Reilly claimed.

Rick, seriously, you don't want to continue down this path. It's pathetic. 

In a statement to PEOPLE, Trump's team had fun with Reilly, who seems like he could stand to get loaded on a guys' trip. Maybe take mushrooms. Eat a brownie. Maybe hire a hooker. 

"Rick fantasizes about having a golf game as good as President Trump.  But instead of putting in the hard work to improve his s---ty game, Rick allows his severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome to completely take over his life. He should seek urgent medical care before it's too late," Trump's team told PEOPLE.
