‘I’ll out golf you, I was a 6 handicap as VP’ was definitely not on my bingo card for this debate.

Actually it was a 7 or 8 lol. He said a couple different numbers after the 6 claim. No way he’s a 6 handicap.

6.7 when I looked it up. It has been years since his last posted round though.

I had to look that up as well! It’s being fact checked at 6.7 by multiple sources now :)

The same source has Trump at 2.8 and there’s no way that’s true either.

No, I said multiple sources and one of those I remember putting Trump @ a 22~.

ETA: politifact cites the United States Golf Association as their source … 6.7 Biden 20.9 Trump

The fact that this is what we are fact checking after a PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE is both hilarious and disturbing.

You may have misread. According to the article you linked, Ivanka Trump has a 20.9. Donald Trump is listed as having a 2.5.

At the same time, why the fuck is spending all your time at golf a good metric of president? Maybe if they were sharing scores on a history, economics, or geography test I'd be impressed.
