This Video of Biden Golfing Has Americans Legitimately Concerned

A viral video that appears to show President Joe Biden hitting a golf ball backwards has social media commenters worried.

The footage: A sports betting account posted the clip to Twitter on Monday, claiming it shows Biden hitting the links in Wilmington, Delaware, before returning to Washington, D.C. for the week.

• In the video, the leader of the free world attempted to chip his ball onto the fairway over a low stone wall, but it ricocheted over his head in the opposite direction.

The reaction: The clip drew disbelief and mockery — including concerned statements about the president’s condition and unflattering comparisons to former President Donald Trump, an avid and competent golfer.

• “Add golf to the long list of things President Trump is better than Joe Biden at,” tweeted political consultant Thomas Hern.

Joe Biden will never golf with a world leader if this is his golf game.

Context: Biden’s handicap is allegedly between a 6 and a 10, but some have claimed he is in fact less than intimidating on the course.

• “The course record is still intact,” Biden said after his first presidential round of golf in April.
• But his defenders say the president’s lack of dedication to the game shows he is more serious about his job than his predecessor.
