Twitter Snarks On Lindsey Graham Tweets About Golfing with Trump: ‘Did He Cheat?’

Senator Lindsey Graham tweeted this afternoon after a round of golf with President Trump:

Really enjoyed a round of golf with President @realDonaldTrump today.

President Trump shot a 73 in windy and wet conditions!

How bad did he beat me? I did better in the presidential race than today on the golf course!

Great fun. Great host.

Graham has been critical of the President at times, but has also defended him.

But even with that little bit of self-deprecation, Twitter wasn’t terribly amused:

Sounds fun! He is allowing Russia to undermine democracy in the Western Hemisphere

A guy's got to play *a lot of golf* to shoot 73 in adverse weather as a septuagenarian. #MAGA #DrainTheSwamp https://t.co/BTIGLUEBkN

The best parody is so subtle you can barely tell it's a parody. https://t.co/uW4F6ITNc4

This is so over-th-top sycophantic it almost makes you think he's playing mind games with Donald. https://t.co/wKfp3PK8cW

Would've been much funnier if @LindseyGrahamSC had said @POTUS shot an 18.

In the span of 24 hours, one GOP senator warns the president could take us into WWIII. Another plays golf and praises him as a "great host."

I'm calling BS on the 73. Senator, you are a pathetic suck up masquerading as the voice of courage… https://t.co/my2z2nWNyU

— John Ziegler (@Zigmanfreud) October 9, 2017

What’s the most pathetic thing; teeeting this, Trump telling him to tweet this, or being so shit at gold you have to cheat to get to 73? https://t.co/9gU8g8uMY3
