Trump dares Biden to an 18-hole golf match and offers to debate him again so POTUS can ‘redeem himself’

DORAL, FLORIDA: Donald Trump challenged President Joe Biden on Tuesday, July 9. The former president said it was a chance for the POTUS to "redeem himself" after a poor performance in a debate on June 27 that drastically altered the presidential campaign's direction.

Additionally, he invited Biden to take part in an 18-hole golf match. “I’m officially offering Joe the chance to redeem himself in front of the entire world,” Trump said at a rally in Doral, Florida.

“Let’s do another debate this week so that sleepy Joe Biden can prove to everyone all over the world that he has what it takes to be president,” Trump said. “But this time it will be man-to-man, no moderators, no holds barred. Just name the place, anytime, anywhere.”

Donald Trump mentioned June debate where they argued about golf handicaps

The two candidates are set to participate in a second debate in September, which Biden's campaign has confirmed he intends to attend.

Trump also mentioned a moment from the June debate where he and Biden argued about their golf handicaps.

Biden dared Trump to a game of golf on the condition that he would carry his own bag, implying that he might not be up to the task physically.

“That’s why this evening I am also … officially challenging crooked Joe to an 18-hole golf match,” Trump said, before suggesting that the event be held at his Doral golf course and broadcasted on television.

The former president proposed giving Biden a 20-stroke lead and pledged to donate $1 million to a charity chosen by Biden if the President won.

It was reported extensively by The Washington Post in 2016 that Trump did not fulfill some of his charitable giving promises.

“Donald Trump is a liar, a convict, and a fraud only out for himself – par for the course,” Singer added.
