Video of Donald Trump Cheating on the Golf Course During His Europe Trip Goes Viral [WATCH]
Footage filmed from inside a building captured the moment Trump drove up in a golf cart on the left side of the fairway at Turnberry with a bunker in front and some light fescue grass to his left. As the caddies passed by, the camera recorded one of them pausing, leaning down a bit, and dropping a golf ball in front of the president.

Trump stepped out of his golf cart, club in hand, and walked toward the ball that had been placed on the ground, seemingly preparing to take a shot. The video ends before he actually swings.
The footage quickly went viral social media, with many users accusing the 79-year-old of "cheating."
"Who needs a foot wedge when you have a personal ball dropper???" wrote one commenter on X, formerly Twitter.
Another account posted, "Him and Kim Jong Un would be INSANE scramble partners."
One account, seemingly run by a PGA professional, commented, "Such a perfect metaphor for our Commander-in-Cheat."

If Trump did hit that ball, it wouldn't be the first time he's faced accusations of "cheating" on the golf course. Earlier this year, actor Samuel L. Jackson claimed that Trump cheated during a round they played together.
When asked who was the better golfer, the "Pulp Fiction" star replied, "Oh, I am, for sure. I don't cheat."
Trump later responded on social media, denying the claim and saying that he had never played a round of golf with Jackson.
Blame Game
Actor Anthony Anderson shared a similar view to Jackson, accusing Trump of cheating back in 2016. During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers that year, Anderson said, "Trump is a great golfer. I won't say Trump cheats. His caddy cheats for him."

When asked if he had personally witnessed Trump cheat, Anderson responded, "Oh yes, several times. Several times." He added: "I mis-hit a ball - it hooked a little left about 20 yards. Trump hit the exact same shot but went 20 yards further left than mine.
"I could not find my ball in this trash. Trump's ball had the fluffiest lie in the middle of the fairway.
"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."
These accusations align with those made by sports journalist Rick Reilly in 2019, who alleged that Trump often took extra shots without justification and claimed credit for shots made by other players.
Donald Trump X
In an article for the Sunday Times, Reilly wrote that caddies had nicknamed Trump "Pele" due to how frequently he would kick the ball to improve its position. Describing his opponent's style of play, he said: "To say Donald Trump cheats is like saying Michael Phelps swims.
"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."

Malaysia, US discussed tariff rate of below 20 per cent
[KUALA LUMPUR] The US tariff rate on Malaysian goods will be announced on Friday (Aug 1), Malaysian Premier Anwar Ibrahim said on Thursday after speaking on the phone to US President Donald Trump. The two countries discussed a tariff rate below 20 per cent, people familiar with the talks said, asking not to be identified as the talks are private. The call lasted about 20 minutes, they added. Malaysia is facing a 25 per cent tariff on its exports to the US unless a deal with Washington is reached by Friday. That would have been higher than the agreements announced so far with South-east Asian neighbors, with goods from the Philippines and Indonesia facing tariffs of 19 per cent, and Vietnam 20 per cent. The two countries have held multiple rounds of talks, with Malaysia's trade minister saying several sticking points remained, particularly on non-trade barriers. Anwar said he discussed tariffs 'in the spirit and principle of free trade' during his call with Trump. 'After the explanation I provided, (Trump) decided to review the tariff rates imposed on Malaysia, with an announcement expected (on Friday). We pray, God willing, that it will help and not burden our country's economy,' Anwar said in a speech to parliament to present the country's new five-year economic plan.

Sign Up Sign Up Trump to visit Malaysia in October Anwar also said Trump confirmed that he would attend the next Association of South-east Asian Nations (Asean) summit in Malaysia in October. Malaysia will target annual gross domestic product growth of 4.5 per cent to 5.5 per cent from 2026 to 2030, with a deficit of less than 3 per cent of GDP by the end of that period, Anwar said when launching the new five-year plan. Malaysia is also targeting export growth of 5.8 per cent a year in the plan, and will strive to keep inflation at an average rate of 2 per cent-3 per cent for the period, he said. Malaysia will allocate RM611 billion (S$185 billion) for the economic plan, with RM430 billion of the total coming from the government's coffers, and the remainder from government-linked companies and the private sector. 'The next five years will be a crucial period for Malaysia to not only transition into a high-income nation but also to provide a high quality of living for the people,' Anwar said. Malaysia's central bank on Monday lowered its growth forecast for 2025 to a range of 4 per cent to 4.8 per cent from 4.5 per cent to 5.5 per cent due to global tariff uncertainties and shifting trade policies. The bank also cut interest rates for the first time in five years earlier this month to 'pre-emptively preserve' the export-oriented economy's growth. REUTERS, BLOOMBERG

Trump defers announcement of tariff rate on Malaysian goods to Aug 1, will attend Asean Summit in Oct: Anwar , Malaysia News
The United States' tariff rate on Malaysian goods will be announced on Friday (Aug 1), Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Thursday (Jul 30) after speaking to US President Donald Trump. "After the discussion and some clarifications that I made, he (Trump) decided to postpone the announcement of the tariff rate to tomorrow," said the Malaysian prime minister, adding that the call took place at 6.50am on Thursday morning. Anwar said that he had discussed the principles and spirit of free trade with Trump and that negotiations are ongoing between the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry, and the US' trade representative and commerce secretary. These updates were shared by Anwar in Parliament on Thursday as he tabled the 13th Malaysia Plan, which outlines government spending on the country's development for the next five years until 2030. Malaysia is facing a 25 per cent tariff rate on its exports to the US, but The Straits Times reported official sources as saying that a deal to lower the tariff to a maximum of 20 per cent or as low as 15 per cent should be announced by Aug 1. On Jul 7, the White House announced that Trump had signed an executive order determining that certain tariff rates, which were initially set to expire on Jul 9, will expire on Aug 1 (Friday). Since then, the Trump administration has struck deals with several other Asean countries, including Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam. Anwar shared that Trump had praised Malaysia for its effective and positive role in brokering the Thailand-Cambodia ceasefire. He added that Trump confirmed his attendance for the upcoming Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Summit that will be held in Malaysia from Oct 26 to 28. [[nid:719999]] editor@

Trump escalates trade war with Canada following Palestine stance
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Canada is also the top supplier of steel and aluminium to the United States. US President Donald Trump intensified his trade war with Canada a day ahead of his Aug 1 deadline for a tariff agreement, saying it would be 'very hard' to make a deal with Canada after it gave its support to Palestinian statehood . Mr Trump is set to impose a 35 per cent tariff on all Canadian goods not covered by the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement if the two countries do not reach an agreement by the deadline. 'Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them,' Mr Trump said on Truth Social. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney previously said tariff negotiations with Washington had been constructive, but the talks may not conclude by the deadline. Talks between the two countries were at an intense phase, he added, but a deal that would remove all US tariffs was unlikely. Canada is the second-largest US trading partner after Mexico, and the largest buyer of US exports. It bought $349.4 billion (S$451.9 billion) of US goods in 2024 and exported US$412.7 billion to the US, according to US Census Bureau data. Canada is also the top supplier of steel and aluminium to the United States, and faces tariffs on both metals as well as on vehicle exports. In June, Mr Carney's government scrapped a planned digital services tax targeting US technology firms after Mr Trump abruptly called off trade talks, saying the tax was a 'blatant attack.'

In announcing the decision, Mr Carney spoke of the reality on the ground, including starvation in Gaza. 'Canada condemns the fact that the Israeli government has allowed a catastrophe to unfold in Gaza,' he said. Israel and the United States, Israel's closest ally, both rejected Mr Carney's comments. Mr Carney's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Mr Trump's post. REUTERS
