We thought Melania Trump rolling her eyes behind her husband’s back at a baseball game last year would be the decade’s best viral moment from the Trump family, but we think a video of Donald Trump declaring himself the 47th president of the United States while playing golf might just top it! The incident reportedly happened on Wednesday, January 26th, and the video of it happening was shared on social media countless times.
Complete with his infamous MAGA red hat with the number 45 on it (in reference to him holding the position of the 45th president of the USA) the 75-year-old former POTUS can be seen in the now viral video walking to the first tee, with one of his golfing partners saying: “Now on the tee, the 45th president of the United States.” The video shows Trump instantly correcting his partner, by adding, “The 45th and 47th,” with an obvious grin on his face.

Trump’s golfing partners can be heard cheering as soon as he makes the comment, with one of them excitedly exclaiming, “Yes, I love that!” Trump hasn’t officially confirmed whether he will be running for president in the future, but it’s something he has hinted at quite a lot recently. He has also been holding rallies ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, and his latest “and 47th” comments are more than enough proof that he does indeed see himself in The White House once again.
Predictably, there have been mixed reactions to Trump’s remark. In the comments section to the video posted by @theyeshivaworld on Instagram on January 26th, some of the positive remarks included, “Trump 2024,” “Yeah baby,” followed by a clapping hands emoji, “I hope so. We need him now more than ever,” “Amen love you President Trump!” and “Love this Man,” followed by two red heart emojis.” And now onto the less-than-positive remarks. “Perish the thought!” wrote one user, while another asked, “Can you run from behind bars?” Another wrote, “What a pathetic narcissistic clown.” “He is vile,” wrote another IG user, while another said, “Not going to happen!” preceded by some laughing emojis.
