Ex-Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen Admits Trump Is ‘An Excellent, Excellent Golfer’ — But Still Mercilessly Mocks Club Championship

Podcaster and former Trump attorney Michael Cohen told Jim Acosta that President Donald Trump is “an excellent, excellent golfer” even as the pair mocked him by suggesting Trump’s club championship was illegitimate.

It was a busy weekend for Trump, who watched airstrikes in Yemen when he wasn’t golfing his way to, as he wrote on Truth Social, “the Golf Club Championship, probably my last, at Trump International Golf Club, in Palm Beach County, Florida. Such a great honor!”

On Monday’s edition of his Substack video podcast The Jim Acosta Show, Acosta and Cohen mocked Trump by waving fake trophies and suggesting that the president either cheated or that his opponents let him win.

While Cohen conceded Trump’s relative skill, he and Acosta surmised that the club attracts better players who nevertheless might deliberately lose to appease Trump:

MICHAEL COHEN: We got Trump winning a golf championship at one of his golf courses in Florida.

JIM ACOSTA: Yeah. Well, he says he won. They say he won. I mean, we have to be careful because, you know, it is his club. It is his tournament. I saw some video. Perhaps it was not correct video. I don’t know. It looked like it was video from over the weekend, but it looked like he shanked one off in the woods. When you shank one off into the woods, you don’t typically come down with the trophy at the end of the round!

MICHAEL COHEN: Well, you do if it’s your club, and I just, I can’t wait, just imagine at the dinner where he, as the president and the owner of the club, purchased for himself yet another trophy–

JIM ACOSTA: Yeah, oh boy–.

MICHAEL COHEN: I would like to thank myself for providing myself with this award, it’s an honor, right, you know for me to have won the club championship for the 30th time.

JIM ACOSTA: We did it, we did it Michael!

MICHAEL COHEN: Right? We sure, we sure did it.

JIM ACOSTA: We did it. Here’s the trophy. I got it right here. Oh wait, it’s a candlestick. Yes.

And they can put the trophy right next to the fake Time Magazine and what is it? I’ve been to some of these clubs where I suppose there’s a legitimate Time Magazine with him on it here and there. Yes.

But there are some that you can tell this is a ginned up Sports Illustrated or Tiger Beat or whatever it is.

MICHAEL COHEN: So let me just say this, he happens to be a good golfer. I’ve seen him legitimately play. He’s probably a four handicap, all right? And that’s an excellent, excellent golfer.

But you have people that play at the club who I know personally, I know them personally, who are scratch players, meaning that they score a zero.

And the chance that a scratch player, Is going to on a regular basis lose to somebody who’s a plus four. It’s very very rare. Right?

Unless of course the guy happens to own the club and you don’t want to get thrown out And so instead of you know, if you’re up by two, well, you five putt

JIM ACOSTA: Yeah, I mean, maybe the caddy says, you know, hey, you know, maybe take this one for the team here and knock that one off into the woods or miss the two foot putt so the dear leader can come home with the trophy.
