Recently, ex-President Donald Trump released a pretty infamous statement, in which he bragged his brains out about the alleged hole-in-one he hit on the golf course while supposedly playing against a bunch of world-renowned professionals — before going on to say in the same statement how much he “hates” people who brag, of course, and claimed that he is actually a “very modest individual.”
If Donald Trump is a “very modest individual” then I’m a world-champion opera singer — and I can’t carry a tune in a bucket if my life depended on it.
And apparently, Trump’s so-called “modesty’ reached a seriously pathetic low at one point when he allegedly prodded Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham to tell some reporters about how good he is at the game of golf, according to a new tell-all book.
This interaction reportedly went down when Graham happened to call the then-president while he was in the middle of an interview with two reporters.

According to the upcoming book, This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future, Trump told Graham while on the phone with him in front of the reporters, “Most importantly, would you tell them one thing: Can Trump play golf?”
Excerpts of the forthcoming tell-all obtained by the Washington Post reveal that Lindsey responded like the good little lapdog he’s always been, immediately and dutifully telling the journalists on the other end of the phone, “If you don’t believe it, go play with him.”
Graham has notoriously been swinging from one end of the spectrum to the other when it comes to Donald Trump for years now. During Donald’s 2016 candidacy, the South Carolina GOP lawmaker was one of the real estate “mogul’s” biggest, loudest critics, regularly warning the American people that the former Apprentice “star” would destroy this nation from the White House, and we would rightfully deserve it if we voted him in. However, Graham immediately dropped to licking Donald’s shoes as soon as that actually happened. Lindsey only broke with Trump again on the heels of the violent January 6th Capitol attack, stating, “count me out” from the Senate floor, only to sink back down to sycophant level once more, following Donald’s second impeachment and subsequent election loss.
During the phone call mentioned above, Trump was actually talking to the authors of This Will Not Pass, Post reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns. The then-president put Senator Graham on speakerphone.
“Tell them about the Trump endorsements,” Trump allegedly ordered of Graham. The SC lawmaker obeyed instantly: “President Trump’s endorsement is the most consequential endorsement of any politician I’ve seen in my 20-something years.”
Graham’s praises for Trump’s endorsements and his gold game came a mere month after the infamous, deadly Capitol insurrection that Lindsey claimed to condemn.
It wasn’t that long ago that Sportswriter Rick Reilly penned a whole entire book that explained how Donald Trump’s golf game can tell a person all they need to know about him, his integrity, and his character.
“He’ll cheat you on the course and then buy you lunch,” Reilly said in his book.
