Trump, 79, recently flew to the Ryder Cup on Air Force One. He arrived at Bethpage Black on Long Island with his granddaughter Kai Trump, who plays golf herself. He attended to watch the matches and cheer on Team USA. The course is known for being very tough, even for top players.
Before leaving the White House, Trump told reporters, “I’m going to go for a little while to represent the United States at the Ryder Cup, which is very exciting, and we’ll be watching that.” He also joked that Team USA was not “doing so well” and that he had to come help.
At the course, fighter jets flew overhead as the crowd chanted “U.S.A.” Trump greeted golfers Bryson DeChambeau and Ben Griffin, then stood behind them as they teed off. He stayed about two and a half hours before leaving, while the Americans held steady in the matches.
When a photo of Trump at the event appeared online, people noticed more than golf. They focused on his suit, his stance, and yes, his shoes and some even asked if he was wearing diapers.

Everyone kept roasting him.

At least he got some orthopedic shoes to support his cankles.

In other photos, it shows he wears support braces for his legs!
He is wearing out fast.— SherrieOz (@SherrieByer) September 26, 2025
Why is this idiot wearing golf shoes with a suit? He’s not going to work and he’s not playing golf.
— Kevin McCauley (@kevintmccauley7) September 26, 2025
He’s gonna have to bring back bell bottom pants to hide those kankles

I live near the golf course and I could smell him all the way from there
— Grace (@Grace410381) September 26, 2025
He has some very special high-tech diapers apparently.
— Lynny Lynn (@grayrecliner) September 26, 2025
He should just retire and watch golf instead
— Donnah (@58rughooker) September 26, 2025
He’s so awkward.

I can smell this picture. Smells like someone dumped a bag of sugar onto a decaying raccoon and then put it in the microwave.

He always looks out of place. Such an awkward person.

Trump has always been closely tied to golf. He owns courses, he plays often, and he has hosted major events. His Florida course at Doral was the site of a LIV Golf tournament earlier this year, and his properties are scheduled to host both LIV and PGA events next season. He also has been involved in talks about a possible LIV-PGA merger.
