Social media went crazy when Donald Trump and Joe Biden talked about golf handicaps at the debate

A little bit of everything can happen at a presidential debate.

And on Thursday night, when former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden were debating ahead of the 2024 Election this fall, the conversation turned to golf.

Biden said when he was vice president, he got his handicap down to a 6. That got quite a reaction from Trump, who’s an avid golfer himself. Then Biden said he was happy to play golf with Trump if Trump would carry his own bag.

Trump said Biden calling himself a 6 handicap was his “biggest lie of all.” The conversation didn’t stop there, and the video is too good to pass on watching.

“You’re not a 6” is part of the debate that decides the future of America. I hope they keep talking about golf.
