While speaking to a group of business leaders in Dublin on Saturday, Donald Trump addressed the subject of his golfing habits and the role of his Secret Service detail. When the topic of whether he cheats at golf was raised, Trump stated, "I can’t cheat," noting that the presence of Secret Service agents makes it impossible to do so. He further clarified his position by adding, "It’s not that I wouldn’t cheat," suggesting that the restriction is a matter of circumstance rather than personal preference.

The comments were made in a casual setting, though they drew attention due to the public nature of the former president's frequent golf outings. The interaction highlights the intersection of Trump’s personal leisure activities and the high-security environment that accompanies his public profile. While the remark was framed by Trump as a humorous observation about the logistical constraints of his security detail, the statement has been interpreted in various ways regarding his approach to the sport. There is no official record of Secret Service agents commenting on their role in monitoring the former president's golf scores or conduct on the course.
