I don’t care who you are. It’s totally funny.

It clearly plays on the theme of similarities between the North Korean dictator and former President Trump.
Trump has a tendency to stretch the truth, to say the least. He has also publicly expressed his thoughts on extending the presidential term beyond the allowed two terms. Sound a little autocratic?
Bringing it back to golf, a player may be nearly 90 years old and still be a better player than most people on the planet. The South African maintains a strict training and eating routine to continue playing golf.
This chip-in shot also serves as a reminder of how good his hands are around the greens. He still has the touch he needs to make shots.
It’s unclear whether Trump or the player won, but the shot appears to have been one of the highlights of the day.
