Donald Trump, known for creating memorable nicknames for his political rivals like \u201cCrooked Hillary\u201d and \u201cSleepy Joe,\u201d has also picked up a few nicknames himself\u2014one of which is surprisingly linked to a soccer legend.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s passion for golf is well documented; during his presidency, he reportedly played over 40 rounds. However, author and sportswriter Rick Reilly alleges in his book\u00a0<em>Commander in Cheat<\/em>\u00a0that Trump regularly bends the rules on the golf course.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><\/div>\n<p>Reilly, who played with Trump, claims Trump took multiple mulligans, moved his ball with his feet, and declared himself winner of tournaments he never actually played in. According to Reilly, Trump once said, \u201cAnytime I buy a new course, I play the first round alone and declare myself club champion.\u201d Trump also allegedly claimed to have won a tournament during his trip to North Korea, though no evidence supports this.<\/p>\n<p>These claims have been denied by Trump\u2019s campaign, with spokespeople dismissing them as fantasies. Yet, other players and club members have shared similar stories about Trump\u2019s questionable behavior on the course.<\/p>\n<p>The most notable detail is Trump\u2019s reported nickname at Winged Foot Golf Club\u2014\u201cPele\u201d\u2014a reference to the famous Brazilian soccer star. This nickname came about because Trump was often seen kicking his ball into more favorable positions. Bryan Marsal, a club member, recalls Trump saying, \u201cI cheat, and I expect you to cheat too because we\u2019re going to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This nickname and these stories highlight Trump\u2019s competitive nature and his willingness to bend rules to win, a trait that divides opinion between critics and supporters.<\/p>\n<p>In golf, where sportsmanship is prized, being known for \u201ckicking the ball\u201d might not be the legacy any player wants\u2014whether it\u2019s harmless fun or a sign of something deeper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump\u2019s Golf Habits Earn Him the Nickname \u201cPele\u201d \u2014 But It\u2019s Not a Compliment.
