Donald Trump 'caught cheating' at his Scottish resort as caddie moves ball for him
Donald Trump has found himself embroiled in another golfing scandal after footage emerged seemingly showing a caddie dropping a ball for him during a round in Scotland.
While on a European trip and visiting his golf resorts, the US President was caught on camera playing at Turnberry when it appeared one of his caddies may have overstepped the mark to help him.
The video, shot from within a nearby building, captures Trump arriving by golf cart on the left side of the fairway. With a bunker and some light fescue between him and the green, as he stopped, two caddies walked past – with one seemingly pausing to place a ball in front of Trump.
The 79 year old exited the cart, golf club in hand, and approached the newly positioned ball, seemingly ready to take his next stroke. The clip concludes before he takes the swing.
the Express.
"Who needs a foot wedge when you have a personal ball dropper? ? ?" joked one user on X, previously known as Twitter.
Another user humorously suggested, "Him and Kim Jong Un would be INSANE scramble partners."
A self-proclaimed PGA professional chimed in with, "Such a perfect metaphor for our Commander-in-Cheat."
Some social media users playfully admired the incident. "Wild... Looks like I need these fellas as Caddies with the way I hit it anymore," one comment read.
This is not the first instance of Trump being accused of bending the rules on the golf links.
Is Donald Trump a cheat on the golf course?
Earlier this year, Samuel L. Jackson, the esteemed actor, alleged that Trump had cheated during a game they played together.
When queried about who was the better golfer, Jackson confidently stated: "Oh, I am, for sure. I don't cheat."
Trump has since refuted the claims of having played with the 'Pulp Fiction' star, asserting on social media that such a game never took place.
Actor Anthony Anderson has echoed similar sentiments. During an appearance on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' in 2016, Anderson remarked, "Trump is a great golfer. I'm not going to say Trump cheats. His caddy cheats for him."
When pressed for details on whether he witnessed Trump cheating, Anderson affirmed: "Oh yes, several times. Several times."
He recounted an occasion where both he and Trump had poor tee shots. "Trump hit the exact same shot but went 20 yards further left than mine," he explained.
"I couldn't find my ball in this trash. Trump's ball had the fluffiest lie in the middle of the fairway."
Anderson concluded: "Like I say, I didn't see Trump cheat because he was on the tee-box with me, but his ball was right there in the middle of the fairway."
Sportswriter Rick Reilly has delved into these allegations, asserting in 2019 that Trump frequently manipulated his ball's position and even took credit for others' shots.
In an article for The Sunday Times, Reilly revealed that Trump's caddies had even dubbed him "Pele" due to his frequent ball-kicking antics.
"To say Donald Trump cheats is like saying Michael Phelps swims," he penned. "Trump doesn't just cheat at golf. He cheats like a three-card monte dealer.
"He throws it, boots it and moves it. Whether you're his pharmacist or Tiger Woods, if you're playing golf with him, he's going to cheat."

New poll shows astonishing outcome in fantasy 2028 match-up between Obama and Trump
A new poll reveals who would win in a fantasy match-up between President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama for president if they both ran for a third term. A new exclusive Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll shows that Obama would win in a theoretical matchup. Of the respondents, 52 percent chose the former Democratic president and 41 percent chose Trump. Obama's 11-point majority over Trump stems from an enthusiastic Hispanic base, of which 73 percent selected Obama, and also 68 percent of black voters. Independent voters also preferred Obama over Trump in the hypothetical match, 50 percent for the former Democrat to just 39 percent for Trump. Past American presidents sometimes benefit from nostalgia over a president currently serving in office. Obama currently enjoys a 59 percent favorability rating while just 35 percent viewed him unfavorably. That's compared to Trump's 44 percent favorability mark. According to the exclusive poll, Trump has a 49 percent overall approval rating for his job performance as president, while 51 percent have an unfavorable view. The poll also shows that Trump would still beat Hillary Clinton if she ran for president again with 44 percent support over Clinton's 43 percent. Trump would also beat former President Joe Biden with 44 percent versus just 40 percent support for Biden. American presidents are prevented from running for a third term, after the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution was passed and ratified in 1951. Trump has teased the idea in interviews, although he has conceded he is not yet planning on running for a third term. 'I'm not joking,' Trump told NBC in March, when asked to clarify his comments on the idea. 'But I'm not — it is far too early to think about it.' When asked about how he would do so, Trump said cryptically, 'There are methods which you could do it.' He also said he would 'love' to run against Obama. 'I'd love that …. That would be a good one,' he said to Fox News reporter Peter Doocy in March. 'I'd like that. And no, people are asking me to run, and there's a whole story about running for a third term. I don't know, I never looked into it. They do say there's a way you can do it, but I don't know about that.' Trump supporters have mused on a possible loophole in the law, if Vice President JD Vance won a presidential race in 2028 with Trump as his running mate. Theoretically, a President Vance could swear in as president and then resign, allowing a vice president Trump to ascend back into power. Obama also joked about the idea of a third term as his second term was coming to a close. 'I actually think I'm a pretty good president. I think if I ran, I could win,' Obama joked during a 2015 speech in Ethiopia. 'There's a lot that I'd like to do to keep America moving. But the law is the law, and no person is above the law, not even the president.' In 2020, Obama also joked that he would be fine with a 'stand-in' president where 'they had an earpiece' and he could control them. "You know what? If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff, and then I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I'd be fine with that,' he joked in an interview with Stephen Colbert. The poll was conducted July 9 - July 10 among 1,013 registered voters. It has a 3.1 percent margin of error.

Scale of Gaza hunger is seen from space as satellite pics show crowd surround aid trucks after UN declares famine
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE hunger crisis spreading across Gaza can now be seen from space in gut-wrenching satellite images. Thousands of starving Palestinians can be seen crowding around aid trucks begging for food in the war-torn Strip.

Images from the south of the Strip show civilians gathering around 15 lorries which were all sent into Gaza filled with food. Away from the surging crowds sits evidence of the gruelling conditions in which Palestinians have been living in for just under two years now. Makeshift tents and crumbling buildings are spread across the Strip with a ceasefire deal with Hamas thugs and Israeli forces yet to be agreed. Global leaders, including UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and US President Donald Trump, have said a peace deal must be made to save those living under the awful conditions. The calls for a ceasefire have been amplified in recent days after the global body responsible for monitoring hunger warned Gazans are now experiencing the "worst-case scenario of famine". The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), an initiative made up of 21 aid groups, governments and UN agencies, announced: "Mounting evidence shows that widespread starvation, malnutrition, and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths." Famine has not yet been confirmed in the region with the IPC still trying to ascertain all the facts on the ground. They will need to prove at least 20 per cent of Gaza's 2.1 million population - 420,000 people - are experiencing an "extreme" lack of food. More than 30 per cent of children under five also have to be suffering from acute malnutrition with at least two people per 10,000 dying from starvation per day. Israel to allow foreign aid to parachute into Gaza but continues bombardment despite growing global pleas for ceasefire In July, at least 63 people, including 24 children under five, died from hunger, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Hamas' health ministry claims 127 people have died from a lack of food since Israel launched a counter attack inside Gaza following October 7. It alleges at least a third of them are children. The scale of hunger comes after Israel accused Hamas of treating civilians in the Strip as pawns and human shields. Israel has also claimed the terrorists are stealing food from aid trucks. Earlier this month, 20 people were killed at an aid distribution site in Gaza after a "chaotic and dangerous" crowd surge. The US and Israel-backed GHF said it believed the harrowing push was "driven by agitators in the crowd" who were affiliated to Hamas. Harrowing scenes also saw Palestinian people overrun food trucks carrying aid into Gaza. Distressing footage shared by Turkish news site TRT shows a sea of starving Gazans desperately climbing onto vehicles to reach food. 8 Carrying pots in their hands, Palestinians struggle to access food as a charity distributes meals in Gaza City Credit: Getty 8 The harrowing moment starving Palestinian people overrun food trucks carrying aid Credit: X 8 Humanitarian aid packages are airdropped over the Gaza Strip Credit: Reuters Some individuals appear to manage to grab boxes of aid, while other malnourished people seem to scramble to safety due to the heaving crowds. Israel announced a pause in fighting over the weekend and have started to allow food to be air dropped into Gaza. They are also working on opening up new supply corridors for aid workers to safely deliver food. Military operations will be halted for 10 hours each day as officials look to establish the new designated humanitarian aid corridors. It comes as Trump has revealed he has a mystery plan with Israel to end the war in Gaza and announced a mission to get aid to starving Palestinians. The US President vowed to set up food centres across Gaza - insisting: "We want to get the children fed." He described the scenes as "terrible" - adding: "We have to help on a humanitarian basis. He also distanced himself from comments made by Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who insisted there was no starvation in Gaza. Netanyahu had said on Sunday: "There is no policy of starvation in Gaza and there is no starvation in Gaza." Asked if he agreed with the Israeli PM, Trump said: "I don't know. I mean, based on television, I would say not, particularly because those children look very hungry." 8 Smoke rises after an explosion in Gaza Credit: Reuters

Myleene Klass' ex-husband's bitter words after divorce turned sour following 'cheating'
I'm A Celebrity star Myleene Klass was married to her ex-husband Graham Quinn for just six months before they split up, with the exes having criticised each other since then The ex-husband of Myleene Klass once criticised her after their "contentious" divorce more than a decade ago. The former couple, who had been married for just months when they split up, have both spoken out since separating. Myleene, now 47, met bodyguard Graham Quinn whilst in the band Hear'Say. The exes, who share two teenage children, were together for years before getting married in 2011. They split months later, with Graham reportedly leaving her, and their "bitter" divorce is said to have then been finalised in 2013. Their relationship has made headlines again this week after Myleene spoke about it on the We Need to Talk podcast. In an episode released earlier today, the I'm A Celebrity star accused her ex-husband of having cheated on her. Years ago, following their split, Myleene vowed that she would never get married again. She also blamed herself for not having a prenup, with her previously saying: "I'll never let that happen again, so help me God. If I'd decided to gamble with my money, I could take that, but someone taking it ... No." Graham later hit out at his ex-wife and dismissed the suggestion that he'd taken money from her. As reported at the time, he wrote on X, then known as Twitter, in 2015: "I've stayed quiet for three years now but enough is enough. Please explain to me how I took your money? I lost so much money from our divorce and our house that we bought together." He also suggested that Myleene wasn't letting him see their two children, writing: "One day I hope you will put the interests of your children first and let them see their father." He's said to have added in a post a decade ago: "Instead of focusing on what lies you can tell to boost your career." A spokesperson for Myleene issued a statement to the Mirror at the time. They told us: "I personally think it's very sad behaviour." Myleene spoke about her marriage to Graham on the We Need to Talk podcast recently. She claimed that, prior to getting married, she caught him being unfaithful with a celebrity during birthday celebrations at a party in her home. She said: "I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony." Myleene added on the podcast: "They weren't having sex but they were like unzipping each other. 'It's not what you think,' but I'm like 'it is what I think'." Myleene, who said that her life "broke apart" in the aftermath, said that Graham apologised and blamed alcohol. Myleene later shared on the podcast that she split from her now ex-husband after she later suspected him of cheating again. Whilst he was working away, she recalled travelling to where he was based to surprise him. She said on the podcast: "I [went to] where I knew he was working and did a 'surprise'. And I knew there'd been someone in that room." Myleene suggested that Graham decided to end the relationship, leading to their divorce, which has been described as "contentious". She said: "On the day that he decided it was over, he just pushed this little Post-It note across the table with the figure he wanted."
