If you were asked to name two things that President Donald Trump enjoyed, you might well have reasonably answered 'tweeting and golf'.

Well, Trump is now unable to do the former and the latter is hardly providing the President with much respite either, after it was reported that the PGA had stripped the Trump National in Bedminster of the US PGA Championship in 2022.

Yes, in the aftermath of the violent riots at the US Capitol on Wednesday, during which five people died as a violent mob stormed the building in chaotic scenes, the PGA has announced that it will be moving its 2022 championship away from Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J.

Jim Richerson, PGA of America president said in a statement:

"The PGA of America Board of Directors voted tonight to exercise the right to terminate the agreement to play the 2022 PGA Championship at Trump Bedminster".

To hold the championship at the Trump course would be "detrimental" to PGA of America's brand and put the ability of the organization to function "at risk," Richerson said.

Per ABC, the Trump Organization expressed their disappointment with the announcement in a statement of their own.

"We have had a beautiful partnership with the PGA of America and are incredibly disappointed with their decision," a spokesperson for the organization said.

"This is a breach of a binding contract and they have no right to terminate the agreement. As an organization we have invested many, many millions of dollars in the 2022 PGA Championship at Trump National Golf Club, Bedminster. We will continue to promote the game of golf on every level and remain focused on operating the finest golf courses anywhere in the world."

Trump, as has been widely noted throughout his presidency, is an avid golfer. According to ABC, the Trump Organization owns or operates 17 golf courses around the world. Three additional courses are expected to open in Dubai and Indonesia.

According to Trump Golf Count, a website that tracks the current President's golf outings, Trump has made nearly 300 daytime visits to golf clubs over the course of his presidency.

Seven US Capitol police officers are suing Donald Trump on the grounds that he allegedly conspired with far-right extremist groups to incite the Jan. 6 insurrection which led to the deaths of five people, Reuters reports.

The suit names the ex-POTUS, Trump's ally Roger Stone and members of the far-right groups the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, some of whom were involved in the breach of the Capitol.

Per The Guardian, the legal document, filed in federal court in Washington DC on Thursday, August 26, states that the former Republican president "worked with white supremacists, violent extremist groups, and campaign supporters to violate the Ku Klux Klan Act, and commit acts of domestic terrorism in an unlawful effort to stay in power".

The officers allege that the deadly event, in which four Trump supporters and one Capitol officer died, occurred after months of encouragement by the Republican, who repeatedly espoused baseless claims of election fraud.

The suit stated: "Trump, in concert with other Defendants, deliberately and persistently made and encouraged false claims of election fraud to discredit the outcome of the election and disingenuously incite outrage among his supporters."

The individuals named in the lawsuit have been accused of intentionally inciting a violent mob to disrupt the congressional certification of Joe Biden's victory in the November 2020 election.

Trump had held a rally near the White House on January 6 and took the opportunity to encourage his supporters to march to Capitol in protest against Biden's certification of victory, which had been due to take place that day.

The suit continued: "Trump’s and his co-conspirators’ repeated cries of election fraud caused many of his supporters, including other defendants, to plan to employ force, intimidation, and threats on his behalf to keep him in office, should he lose the election."

The document refers to the actions of the accused as "unlawful" and stated these actions ultimately caused a situation in which Capitol officers were "violently assaulted, spat on, teargassed, bear-sprayed, subjected to racial slurs and epithets, and put in fear for their lives."

It added: "Plaintiffs' injuries, which defendants caused, persist to this day."

Donald Trump plans to file class-action lawsuits against Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter's Jack Dorsey.

News of the legal filing comes after both of the social media giants blocked his profile on their respective platforms in the wake of the US Capitol attack on January 6. Trump, at the time, was accused by many of inciting the deadly insurrection.

Twitter banned Trump indefinitely and Facebook said the ex-POTUS would remain suspended until at least January 2023.

Now, sources have informed Axios that the former president plans to announce the lawsuits at a press conference on July 7.

Per the outlet, the filings will center on the alleged bias the platforms have against the Republican's supporters.

Trump is reportedly seeking a restoration of his accounts on the platforms as well as punitive damages on the companies responsible for suspending his accounts.

Last month, Facebook's Vice President of Global Affairs and former Deputy Prime Minister of the UK Nick Clegg confirmed that Trump's ban will last until January 7, 2023.

Clegg said, per The Independent:

"Given the gravity of the circumstances that led to Mr Trump’s suspension, we believe his actions constituted a severe violation of our rules which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols.

"We are suspending his accounts for two years, effective from the date of the initial suspension on 7 January this year."

At the time of Trump's suspension from Twitter, a spokesperson wrote in a statement:

"After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence. 

"In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action.

"Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open."

Trump has repeatedly condemned the suspension of his accounts. Last week, he even alleged that Zuckerberg funded unsecured drop boxes in the 2020 election - as the 75-year-old claimed yet again that he was the rightful winner of the 2020 US presidential election.

Donald Trump is once again facing allegations of cheating on the golf course, following the circulation of a video reportedly taken during the 2025 Men’s Senior Club Championship on Saturday, August 2.

The 79-year-old president, a longtime golf enthusiast and owner of multiple golf courses around the world, has been documented spending a significant portion of his second term on the links. According to tracking site Trump Golf Track, nearly 20% of his days since returning to office have involved golf outings.

Trump’s recent win at his Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, was celebrated with a post on the official White House Instagram account, which shared a photo of his scorecard. The caption read: “Winning on and off the course,” and stated that Trump shot a gross 69 and a net 67 to claim the tournament title.

However, shortly after the announcement, a video surfaced online raising questions about the legitimacy of that performance.

A social media user on X shared footage allegedly from the same day, showing a caddy appearing to drop a ball onto the green in front of Trump. The user wrote: “Another caddy caught dropping a golf ball for Trump. This time it was at Bedminster. This footage is from Saturday, the day the White House announced Trump won the 2025 Men’s Senior Club Championship.”

While the video has drawn criticism and mockery online, it remains unclear whether the footage was taken during the official tournament or simply during a casual round of golf.

Some users came to Trump’s defense, pointing out that marking and replacing balls on the green is a standard practice in golf. One wrote: “Perfectly legal on the green where players will mark the spot where the ball came to rest, usually with a coin.”

This isn’t the first time Trump has been accused of questionable conduct on the course. Just last week, during a trip to Scotland, another video emerged showing a caddy appearing to place a ball on the fairway ahead of Trump, leading to similar claims.

Over the years, several public figures have accused Trump of cheating at golf. Actor Samuel L. Jackson, in a 2016 interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers, said he had played with Trump and bluntly claimed: “I don’t cheat. He does.” Jackson described an incident where Trump’s ball clearly landed in a lake, only for his caddy to later declare it "found."

Former Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly has echoed these sentiments, telling MSNBC’s Deadline White House: “He took seven mulligans. He took a ‘gimme chip-in.’ I’ve never even heard of that [...] Golf reveals character, and in Trump’s case, it shows he just can’t lose. He’ll cheat to win.”

Trump has consistently denied cheating allegations, often responding publicly. In 2016, he addressed Jackson’s comments directly, claiming he didn’t know the actor and saying: “I don’t cheat at golf but @SamuelLJackson cheats, with his game he has no choice.”

Despite the recent controversy, neither Trump nor the White House has issued a statement responding to the latest video. As the footage continues to circulate, the debate over the president’s golf game (and sportsmanship) continues to stir public attention.

President Donald Trump has issued a warning to Minnesota state lawmakers, threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act if protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents continue.

The protests erupted in response to the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old mother, Renee Good, by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.

Trump, using his social media platform Truth Social, called the protesters "professional agitators and insurrectionists" and demanded that state authorities take action to stop the unrest.

In his post, Trump emphasized that he would deploy the military if necessary, saying, "If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT... and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State."

Protests intensify after another shooting incident

The protests, initially sparked by the shooting of Renee Good, escalated following another shooting by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. The second incident involved a migrant who was reportedly shot in the leg after allegedly attacking an officer during an arrest attempt.

The demonstrations, which have been ongoing for over a week, have been fueled by accusations of excessive force and racial profiling. The Trump administration has sent large numbers of ICE and Border Patrol agents to Minneapolis, further escalating tensions.

Critics argue that the federal presence is a form of occupation, with local officials accusing the president of deliberately stoking unrest to justify a violent crackdown.

The Insurrection Act: A rarely invoked law

The Insurrection Act, a law dating back to 1807, gives the president the authority to deploy military forces or federalize National Guard troops to suppress civil unrest. Although Trump claimed that many past presidents had invoked the act, it has been used sparingly.

The last time it was implemented was in 1992 when President George H.W. Bush sent the U.S. Army to Los Angeles to control riots following the acquittal of police officers involved in the Rodney King beating.

Previous presidents, such as Lyndon Johnson in 1967, have used the law in response to widespread rioting, but its use has generally been a measure of last resort.

Trump's repeated threats to invoke the Insurrection Act reflect his tendency to push for military intervention in Democratic-led cities experiencing unrest, a strategy that has drawn both support and criticism.
