What an Assistant Was Spotted Doing During Trump’s Golf Session That Has Sparked Reactions

Former President Donald Trump is once again at the center of controversy after an incident on the golf course, where he continued his verbal attacks on President Joe Biden.

The situation unfolded as Trump, out of breath and perspiring heavily, paused to place a tee in the ground as reported by Former Federal and State Prosecutor Ron Filipkowski on August 28, 2024.

An assistant quickly intervened, dabbing sweat from Trump’s face. The unusual display — in which Trump’s critics have mockingly dubbed him “Diva Trump” — has sparked widespread backlash, even among his supporters.

The episode took place during a round of golf at one of Trump’s resorts, a frequent location for the former president to blend leisure with off-the-cuff political commentary.

However, what was meant to be a routine day on the green turned into an unexpected public relations headache.

As Trump caught his breath and wiped sweat from his forehead, he continued to rail against Biden, calling his presidency a “disaster” and “the worst in American history.”

Yet, it was not his words but the spectacle of his assistant wiping his face that grabbed attention.

Critics were quick to seize on the moment as an example of Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior and apparent inability to let go of his fixation on Biden.

Social media users were particularly vocal, with the hashtag #DivaTrump trending across platforms like X (formerly Twitter).

“Watching Trump’s assistant wipe his face while he complains about Biden just screams insecurity and weakness,” tweeted one user, capturing the sentiments of many.

Political commentators have also weighed in, suggesting that such incidents could damage Trump’s image.

“This is not the kind of optics you want if you’re trying to project strength and leadership,” said Republican strategist Karl Rove.

“Having an assistant wipe your sweat while you’re mid-rant about your political rival looks more like a reality show than a serious political moment.”

Even some of Trump’s staunchest allies are expressing unease. “I love Trump, but this was not a good look,” said a conservative radio host. “He’s got to stop with these distractions and focus on the issues if he wants to win in 2024.”

The backlash has extended to Trump’s own camp, with some advisers reportedly urging the former president to tone down his rhetoric and avoid these kinds of public spectacles.

However, Trump has shown no signs of changing course, continuing to use his appearances — even those on the golf course — to lash out at Biden and keep himself in the public eye.

For Trump, this latest incident serves as a reminder that in the world of politics, optics matter. While his core supporters remain loyal, the sight of an assistant tending to his sweat could be a stumbling block in his quest for a political comeback.
