Trump's Brazen New Golf Boast Goes Up In Flames On Social Media
Trump's Brazen New Golf Boast Goes Up In Flames On Social Media President Donald Trump on Sunday bragged about winning yet another golf championship ― but not everyone is buying it. The president wrote on his Truth Social website that he and partner Tommy Urciuoli won the member-member championship at Trump's Bedminster golf club. Advertisement Trump has a remarkable record of success at golf, but much of that success comes on his own courses, including at least three other championships at Trump clubs this year alone. Sportswriter Rick Reilly ― who has golfed with Trump ― has said in the past there's a reason for that: He cheats. Reilly told MSNBC last year that Trump cheats 'like a mafia accountant' and called his championships 'fake as Velveeta cheese.' 'He's never won a championship at a course he doesn't own and operate,' Reilly said. 'He's played in Pebble Beach, he's played in the Tahoe one, where there are rules and judges and cameras. And in those, he's never finished in the top half. So he wins when anybody who disagrees that he won is out of the club. That's how he gets it.' Advertisement Reilly wrote an entire book on how Trump cheats at golf. Trump's critics on social media also found it hard to believe that the president won yet another championship ― and, again, on a course he owns:

Trump delayed his tariff deadline after Treasury Secretary pleaded for more time to get deals done, report says
Three months after President Donald Trump predicted his so-called reciprocal tariff threats would bring enough countries to his door seeking trade agreements in 90 days, Trump has again put off imposing the massive import taxes after pressure from his top treasury official. Citing sources, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump signed an executive order Tuesday that delayed the tariff hike on almost all U.S. trading partners until August 1 at the request of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who asked for more time for him and other trade negotiators to push for deals with several large trading partners. The move continued a pattern set in the weeks immediately following Trump's April 2 'Liberation Day' announcement of import taxes on goods from nearly every nation on earth — taxes that are paid by American importers and passed to consumers in the form of higher prices — when Bessent convinced the president to implement a 90-day pause on the taxes after global stock and bond markets tumbled. According to the Journal, Trump made the decision to once again delay the tariffs for another few weeks after a series of phone calls with advisers made in between games of golf at his Bedminister, New Jersey, resort over the weekend. The president was reportedly considering setting an August deadline — or simply letting new tariff rates chosen by him go into effect immediately following announcements made in letters to foreign leaders posted to social media. He told people he spoke with over the weekend that he is unhappy with the slow pace of trade talks and the relatively low number of nations that have come to Washington seeking deals that would provide the favorable terms he craves, the Journal noted. But Bessent and others were able to convey the importance of a delay to the ongoing talks, and the president eventually agreed to the pause along with sending out a series of letters announcing new tariff rates on imports from various nations as a negotiating tactic, the Journal stated. The bizarre, poorly-written letters to American trading partners cite 'unsustainable' trade deficits as justification for the tariffs, which will be at rates ranging from 25 to 40 percent on any imports. Initial letters were addressed to heads of state or government in Japan, South Korea, Burma, Kazakstan, Laos, Malaysia and South Africa as well as other nations. On Tuesday, he said at least seven more letters could be released, including one threatening new tariffs on imports from the European Union. Trump also doubled down on his threat to force Americans to pay exorbitant tariffs on imports in an attempt to reverse decades of globalization and return the United States economy to one based on manufacturing rather than services. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said new rates of import taxes laid out in a series of letters to various countries' heads of state or government 'WILL START BEING PAID ON AUGUST 1, 2025.' He added: 'There has been no change to this date, and there will be no change. In other words, all money will be due and payable starting AUGUST 1, 2025 - No extensions will be granted. Thank you for your attention to this matter!' He later threatened to impose a 50 percent tariff on copper imports and a whopping 200 percent tax on pharmaceutical imports, citing supposed national security concerns. Trump frequently claims tariffs are paid by foreign governments, even though they are import taxes charged by the federal government and paid by importers who often pass them along to consumers in higher prices. Since announcing the 'liberation day' tariffs in April he has routinely extended the self-imposed deadline, leading analysts to bake that tendency into their market predictions as the 'TACO' trade, short for 'Trump Always Chickens Out.'

Trump dismisses Musk's political ambitions as 'ridiculous' in sharp rebuke
President Donald Trump slammed former first buddy Elon Musk for starting a third political party, saying such parties have "never worked" while also calling the move "ridiculous." Trump spoke with reporters before boarding Air Force 1 in Bedminster, New Jersey, when he was asked about Musk's move to start a third party. "I think it's ridiculous to start a third party," Trump said from the tarmac. "We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it's always been a two-party system, and I think starting a third party just adds to confusion. "It really seems to have been developed for two parties," the president continued. "Third parties have never worked. So, he can have fun with it, but I think it's ridiculous." ELON MUSK LAUNCHES 'AMERICA PARTY' AFTER TRUMP SIGNS HISTORIC SPENDING BILL: 'WASTE & GRAFT' Musk announced the launching of a new political party called the "America Party" on his social media platform X on Saturday. Read On The Fox News App The entrepreneur called the formation of the party a direct response to a corrupt political establishment that no longer represents the American people. The announcement followed a viral July 4 poll on X, where Musk asked whether voters wanted independence from what he called the "two-party (some would say uniparty) system." Elon Musk Says Us Is Ruled By 'Porky Pig Party' As Trump Defends His Vision Against Former Ally's Criticism Over 1.2 million votes were cast, with 65.4% saying "yes." "By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it," Musk posted Saturday. "When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom." A short time after his gaggle with reporters, Trump turned to Truth Social to express concerns over Musk, while giving insight into what may have led to the two parting ways. "I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely 'off the rails,' essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks. He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States - The System seems not designed for them," the president said. "The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS, and we have enough of that with the Radical Left Democrats, who have lost their confidence and their minds! "Republicans, on the other hand, are a smooth running 'machine,' that just passed the biggest Bill of its kind in the History of our Country," Trump continued. "It is a Great Bill but, unfortunately for Elon, it eliminates the ridiculous Electric Vehicle (EV) Mandate, which would have forced everyone to buy an Electric Car in a short period of time." Would Donald Trump Have Won The 2024 Presidential Election Without Elon Musk's Help? Trump said he has been "strongly opposed" to an EV mandate from the very beginning, and the new bill allows consumers to buy whatever type of vehicle they want, whether it is electric, gas, or hybrid-powered. "I have campaigned on this for two years and, quite honestly, when Elon gave me his total and unquestioned Endorsement, I asked him whether or not he knew that I was going to terminate the EV Mandate - It was in every speech I made, and in every conversation I had," Trump said. "He said he had no problems with that - I was very surprised!" Trump also said Musk asked a close friend of his to run NASA, but the president took issue with it when he found out that friend was a "blue blooded Democrat" who never contributed to a Republican. "I also thought it inappropriate that a very close friend of Elon, who was in the Space Business, run NASA, when NASA is such a big part of Elon's corporate life," he said. "My Number One charge is to protect the American Public!" Musk chose to establish a new political party after expressing grave concerns with the president's "Big, Beautiful Bill," which was signed into law on Friday at the White House. The sweeping $3.3 trillion legislation includes tax cuts, infrastructure spending and stimulus measures and has drawn criticism from fiscal conservatives and libertarians. Though Musk did not reference the bill directly in his America Party posts, the timing suggests rising friction between the billionaire and the president. Musk has previously warned that unchecked spending by both parties threatens the long-term health of the economy. Trump Not Interested In Talking To Musk: 'Elon's Totally Lost It' The new party, according to Musk's posts, will target a few key seats in Congress. The goal is to create a swing bloc powerful enough to hold the balance of power and block what Musk sees as the worst excesses of both Republicans and Democrats. Third parties have traditionally had a difficult time gaining ground in American politics as the system is built for two dominant parties. With the Electoral College, winner-take-all elections and strict ballot access laws, outsiders cannot meaningfully compete. Even when a third-party candidate catches fire, it rarely lasts beyond a single election cycle. One of the biggest third-party efforts in recent history was Ross Perot's 1992 run. He earned nearly 19% of the popular vote as an independent but didn't win a single Electoral College vote. It was the closest a third-party candidate got to the White House after President Teddy Roosevelt's famed Bull Moose Party run in 1912 against his onetime protégé, William Howard Taft. Others, like Ralph Nader, have tried with the Green Party, and Gary Johnson with the Libertarian Party, but no third-party candidate has come close to winning the presidency.
