President Donald Trump stunned a CNN analyst on Monday by taking a "victory lap" about a golf tournament he allegedly won over the weekend. On Sunday, Trump, 80, posted on Truth Social that he won the Bedminster Senior Club Championship at his club in Bedminster, New Jersey, with a final round score of 70, which would be two under par for the course. The post stunned CNN political commentator Jamal Simmons, who laughed at it when asked during a segment on "OutFront" with host Brianna Keilar. "I'm trying to compose myself because it's a little embarrassing to have the leader of the country spend his time doing this!" Simmons said. "Look, for average Americans, we see that personal savings are going down. We see the credit card delinquencies are going up. Gas is back up over $4 a gallon a gallon. And here they have the President of the United States spending his time talking about what's happening in a golf tournament that he may or may not have won, because we don't know. Sometimes the president doesn't tell the truth about things." "[I] just don't know how the American public is going to look at this and say, this president is focused on our concerns, [and] our agenda," he added. "Instead, this guy seems to be focused on his own golf game."Sunday's outing at Bedminster marked the 125th day that Trump played golf since his second term began in 2025, according to the Trump Golf Tracker. The website estimates Trump's golf outings have cost taxpayers at least $175 million.
