Trump himself once admitted he plays alone on new courses and declares himself the club champion. According to those who\u2019ve played with him, this pattern of bending the rules is routine and part of his personality.<\/p>\n<p>At elite clubs like Winged Foot, stories of Trump\u2019s behavior spread. Some insiders suggest he believes everyone cheats, so it\u2019s fair game. Even when caught, Trump\u2019s team dismisses accusations as jealousy or \u201cTrump Derangement Syndrome.\u201d Yet respected golfers and insiders consistently tell similar stories of dishonesty and manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>To some, it\u2019s harmless competitiveness. To others, it\u2019s a sign of how Trump approaches everything\u2014from golf to business to politics\u2014with his own rules. The nickname \u201cPele\u201d might be a joke, but it reflects a deeper truth: for Trump, winning often comes before fairness, even in a game meant to be played with honor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump is famous for giving political opponents mocking nicknames like \u201cCrooked Hillary\u201d and \u201cSleepy Joe,\u201d but on
