Trump Humiliates Himself by Showing Off His ‘Boxing Moves’ and Twitter is Having a Field Day

Donald Trump could’ve been a world-class athlete if he wanted, in almost any sport. That is according to Trump. The ultimate alpha male, Trump loves to pretend he was this super athletic guy when none of that has been proven. Now, the guy is a decent golfer, we have to give him that, but that’s about it.

In Trump’s memory, he was a high school baseball star.

“I was supposed to be a pro baseball player,โ€ Donald Trump wrote in 2004. โ€œAt the New York Military Academy, I was captain of the baseball team. I worked hard like everyone else, but I had good talent.”

In a 2010 interview with MTV, Trump said, again, โ€œI was supposed to be a professional baseball player,โ€ this time adding a flourish: โ€œFortunately, I decided to go into real estate instead.โ€ Three years later, Trump inflated his claim on Twitter, pegging himself not just as a pro prospect but the best player in the state.

To biographer Michael Dโ€™Antonio, Trump went further still, arguing in 2015 that heโ€™d been the best athlete in every sport at the New York Military Academy. He added that heโ€™d decided against a baseball career because โ€œin those days you couldnโ€™t even make any money being a great baseball player.โ€

Now, this is hard to believe, especially when we see photos like this:

But, Trump was showing off his athletic chops at Mar-a-Lago recently, and it was quite a site to behold. And quite a pathetic site at that:

And as you’d imagine, Twitter had a field day:
