Former US President Donald Trump has been caught in another controversy, this time over allegations of cheating during a golf game at his luxury resort in Scotland. A viral video appears to show Trump improperly moving his ball to gain an advantage, reigniting long-standing claims about his questionable sportsmanship.
The Incident at Turnberry
The footage, reportedly filmed at Trump Turnberry, captures the ex-president adjusting his ball's position before taking a shot. Witnesses claim this is not an isolated incident, with multiple accounts of similar behaviour during his visits to the Scottish course.
History of Golf Controversies
This isn't the first time Trump's golfing ethics have been questioned. The billionaire politician has faced numerous accusations over the years, including:
- Claiming false handicap scores
- Taking illegal mulligans
- Pressuring playing partners to overlook rule violations
Golf professionals have expressed dismay at the latest incident, emphasising that such behaviour undermines the sport's integrity.
Political Fallout
The timing is particularly sensitive as Trump campaigns for re-election. Critics argue this episode reflects broader concerns about his character, while supporters dismiss it as trivial compared to policy matters.
Trump's Scottish resorts have been controversial since their acquisition, with environmentalists and local communities frequently clashing with the organisation over development plans and land use.
