The outrage over the golf course video didn’t come from nowhere; it landed on a country already exhausted by Trump’s long, messy history with golf, power, and public decency. His critics see a pattern: a president who escapes to luxury fairways while crises burn, who allegedly cheats so routinely that caddies nickname him “Pelé” for kicking balls back into play, who boasts that everyone around him should cheat too.
So when he’s filmed, nearly 80, openly rating a woman’s body in front of his grandson, many Americans see more than an offhand remark. They see a man who treats women like props and the presidency like a private club. Supporters may dismiss it as harmless banter, but for others, the clip crystallizes why they believe he’s never understood the weight of his office—or the example he sets for the next generation watching from the passenger seat.
