Golf Community In Agreement On President Trump's Controversial Putt
The golf community appears to be in agreement on President Trump's controversial putt this weekend.
The President of the United States is in Scotland this weekend. President Trump, 79, has played two rounds of golf at his iconic course, Trump Turnberry. President Trump played a round with his son, Eric Trump, and a U.S. Ambassador on Saturday. He returned to the course on Sunday for another 18 holes.
However, video of President Trump's controversial putt on Saturday has sparked a debate among the golf community. But everyone seems to be in agreement on what President Trump did on the green.
President Trump drained what looks like an 8-foot putt on the green. However, after his ball went into the cup, he simply left the green. He did not follow it to the hole and pick it up.
He left that responsibility for his caddie.
The golf community is in agreement: That's a no-no.
"Notice Trump doesn't clean his own ball or take his ball out of the cup. You lose continuity if you play like that. He is so out of shape he can barely bend over," one fan wrote.
"I noticed in Scotland today golfing Trump had someone pick his ball out of the cup — either too lazy or too cold," one fan added.
"I'm a 3x Trump voter and love the guy, but you get your own ball out of the cup after putting. That's golf etiquette 101," one fan added.
Another fan wrote: "I'm a Trump voter and supporter. I'm also a golfer. You get your own ball out of the cup after you putt. That's just golf etiquette 101."
What do you make of what President Trump did on the golf course on Saturday afternoon?
Should he have picked his ball out of the cup?

Labour Peer Divides The Internet's With Her Exacerbated Response To Reform's Zia Yusuf
A Labour peer has drawn both praise and criticism online after her rather expressive display on BBC Newsnight last night. Thangham Debbonaire, a former shadow cabinet minister who lost her Bristol West seat to the Greens in the last election, made it very clear how she feels about Reform UK's Zia Yusuf's views while they were sharing the BBC sofa. As Reform's head of DOGE which aims to cut down on government waste, Yusuf attacked the government's new Online Safety Act, warning: 'This act makes children less safe!' Debonnaire just leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes and rested her head in her hand while he talked about how children could circumvent the new restrictions. When presenter Matt Chorley said he wanted to hear from Debonnaire, she replied: 'Why? I think he's fine on his own. Why don't we just him talk?' Her angry response came after they had already argued several times over the legislation. Debonnaire called out Yusuf when he claimed anti-government tweets had been censored on Elon Musk's social media platform X. 'Last time I looked, I'm not in charge of X, that'll be your friend Elon Musk,' she said, encouraging Yusuf to actually read the legislation. 'I have not censored X. I think you'll find if X has taken something down, that'll be down to X.' When their conversation returned to Musk later in the programme and the problems with his platform, Yusuf claimed any problems were caused by the AI algorithms. The Labour peer replied, 'oh, dear lord,' and then pointed out how, moments before, Yusuf had been blaming Debonnaire for problems with X. Her frustration quickly sparked a response on – where else? – X, with several people praising her for being so candid... But not everyone appreciated the peer's reaction to Yusuf, with some accounts suggesting she was rather rude... While a few complained she did not get enough air time at all... Related...

Map, List of Cities Hosting 'Rage Against the Regime' Protests on August 2
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. "Rage Against the Regime" demonstrations against President Donald Trump and his administration's policies are scheduled to take place across the U.S. on August 2. Newsweek has contacted the 50501 Movement, who is behind the protests, for comment via email. Why It Matters There have been several nationwide days of protests against the Trump administration since he returned to office in January, many of them organized by the 50501 Movement (50 protests, 50 states, one movement). Last month, millions took to the streets for "No Kings" protests on June 14, targeting a military parade in Washington marking the Army's 250th anniversary that coincided with Trump's 79th birthday. Protests in honor of the late civil rights icon and congressman John Lewis also took place on July 17, while "Free America" events were held across the country over the Fourth of July weekend. 'Rage Against the Regime' Protest Locations on August 2 "Rage Against the Regime" is the latest nationwide day of action organized by the 50501 Movement. In a press release, organizers called for "a mass mobilization to channel our collective rage against the Trump administration for its weaponization of ICE against our communities, construction of concentration camps, covering up the Epstein files, attacks on transgender rights, and its dismantling of Medicaid, SNAP, USAID, the Department of Education, NOAA, and the National Weather Service into collective action." More than 300 demonstrations are set to take place on August 2, according to the Rage Against the Regime website. A map shows where "Rage Against the Regime" protests are planned to take place on August 2. A map shows where "Rage Against the Regime" protests are planned to take place on August 2. Rage Against the Regime website Here's a look at one event happening in every state where protests have been planned. To see all the events taking place, you can visit the website. What People Are Saying Hunter Dunn, 50501 National press coordinator, said in a statement: "The Trump administration's heralding of American neo-fascism has given us plenty to rage about. When our so-called representative government builds concentration camps and funds genocide, it becomes clear that, as Tom Morello said: 'Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.'" What's Next The protests will take place in states across the U.S. on August 2. According to a messaging guide for organizers, it is a day to "come together to transform anger into action, harnessing the energy of collective resistance."

Trump approval rating sinks to 40%, the lowest of his term, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's approval rating dropped one percentage point to 40%, the lowest level of his second term in office, as Americans remained concerned about his handling of the economy and immigration, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found. The three-day poll, which closed on Monday, surveyed 1,023 U.S. adults nationwide and had a margin of error of 3 percentage points. It showed a nation deeply polarized over Trump, with 83% of Republicans and just 3% of Democrats approving of his performance. About one-third of independents approved. More: Poll: Trump's immigration approval rating at an all time low in second term Trump had a 41% approval rating in Reuters/Ipsos' most recent prior poll, conducted on July 15 and 16. The Republican campaigned on promises to supercharge the U.S. economy and crack down on immigration, and the poll found that Americans gave him mixed marks on both those areas, where his administration is using aggressive tactics. More: Trump's trade deal with the EU: What it means for your wallet Some 38% of respondents approved of Trump's handling of the economy, up from 35% approval in the mid-July poll. His numbers were also up slightly on immigration, with 43% of respondents approving, compared with 41% in the earlier poll. All the shifts were within the poll's margin of error.
