While Trump was meeting with Kim Jong Un in Singapore, a club championship was held at Trump International, the course Trump built near Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

So later on, Trump’s back on the course there with the Secret Service and the SWAT team guys and all that stuff.

And he sees Ted Virtue, who was involved in the financing of the movie Green Book.

I could never get Virtue to call me back on all this, but Golf.com reported it and I heard it from two members of the club as well.

They say Virtue was there playing with his son.

Trump sees Ted on the 9th hole and and decides to drive his cart over.

He tells Ted: “Congrats on winning the club championship, but you didn’t really win it, because I was out of town.”

Ted tries to laugh it off, but Trump is dead serious.

Trump says, “We’re gonna play these last six holes for the championship.”

And Ted’s like, “Oh, well, I’m playing with my son, but thanks anyway.”

But Trump says, “It’s okay. Your son can play, too.”

So what are you going to do? He’s the president. It’s his course. They end up playing.

Apparently, they get to a hole with a big pond in front of the green.

Both Ted and his son hit the ball on the green, but Trump hits his in the water.

By the time they get to the hole, though, Trump is lining up the son’s ball.

Only now it’s his ball and the caddie has switched it.

The son is like, “That’s my ball!”

But Trump’s caddie goes, “No, this is the president’s ball; your ball went in the water.”

Ted and his son look at each other confused, not sure if this is really happening.

Trump makes that putt, and wins one up.

Then, according to Golf.com, he tells Virtue something like, “I’ll tell you what, we’ll be co-champions.”

But the members tell me that when you look at the plaques on Trump’s locker there, it says: “2018 Men’s Club Champion.” No “co-” at all.
