National Guard Sarah Beckstrom, 20, has died after the injuries she sustained when a lone gunman shot her and 24-year-old National Guard Andrew Wolfe, 24, in Washington, D.C. Just hours later, after announcing the tragic death, Trump met the media where he bragged about winning another golf club championship.<\/p>\n

National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom died from the injuries she sustained after suspected gunman Rahmanullah Lakanwal shot her and National Guard Andrew Wolfe, 24, in Washington, D.C, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

On Thursday night, as part of his Thanksgiving call to U.S. troops, President Donald Trump made the announcement of her passing. He described Beckstrom as a \u201chighly respected, young, magnificent person\u201d who was \u201csavagely attacked.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s just passed away. She\u2019s no longer with us. She\u2019s looking down at us right now. Her parents are with her. It\u2019s just happened,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

Wolfe is still being treated at the hospital. The suspect was also wounded and taken to the hospital, and remained heavily guarded, authorities stated.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump left Washington to celebrate Thanksgiving in Florida. Before making the call to U.S troops, Trump spent time on the golf course.<\/p>\n

Trump brags about golf after announcing death of National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom
\nHours after announcing the death of Sarah Beckstrom, and shortly after the call with service members, the president bragged about his golf skills, claiming to have won his 38th club championship.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, he said he had won 36. Trump declared himself to be a scratch golfer and claimed he beat a 27-year-old competitor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve won 38 of them, legitimately. Every one legitimately,\u201d he said. \u201cIt has to be legitimate, because you have a lot of people following you during club championships.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president continued, \u201cI\u2019ve got to be right around scratch or better\u2026 For those that don\u2019t know, in the finals of the club championship last year, with all I was going through, and with no practice, so, I\u2019m a good golfer. You know, I would have to say that. I want to be honest. I have to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n

That Donald Trump is winning legitimately has been heavily debated. In fact, there has even been a book about him and his golf by author Rick Reilly, titled \u201cCommander in Cheat.\u201d Obviously, it implies that Donald Trump is, in fact, cheating on the golf course \u2013 and many have said the same thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWill do anything to cheat\u201d
\nLast year, Rick Reilly appeared on Deadline White House on MSNBC, breaking down how Donald Trump cheats on the golf course.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always said golf is like bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a guy,\u201d Reilly said. \u201cAnd what it reveals about this guy is that he cannot lose. He has to win and he will do anything to cheat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reilly added, \u201cAnd I know because I played golf with him and he took seven mulligans. He took a \u2018give me chip-in. I\u2019ve never even heard of a \u2018give me chip-in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking with People Magazine in 2024, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung denied Reilly\u2019s claim that Donald was cheating on the golf course.<\/p>\n

\u201cRick fantasizes about having a golf game as good as President Trump. But instead of putting in the hard work to improve his s\u2014ty game, Rick allows his severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome to completely take over his life. He should seek urgent medical care before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n

The author stated that Trump has \u201cnever won a championship at a course he doesn\u2019t own and operate,\u201d despite the president claiming to have won 23.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know anything about politics, but I know about golf,\u201d Rielly concluded. \u201cI\u2019ve covered it for about 45 years. It\u2019s not a sport where you can cheat. It\u2019s just not in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump was nicknamed \u201cPele\u201d at the golf course because of \u2018cheating\u2019
\nAt the golf club Winged Foot, where Trump is a member, the caddies, those who help carry the players\u2019 clubs, have gotten so used to seeing him kick his ball back onto the fairway that they even came up with a nickname for him. It was \u201cPele,\u201d after the legendary Brazilian football player, whom Donald Trump actually said was his favourite player.<\/p>\n

\u201cI played with him once,\u201d Bryan Marsal, longtime Winged Foot member and chair of the 2020 Men\u2019s U.S. Open, told Golf.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a Saturday morning game. We go to the first tee and he couldn\u2019t have been nicer. But then he said, \u2018You see those two guys? They cheat. See me? I cheat. And I expect you to cheat because we\u2019re going to beat those two guys today.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
