In the 80's, a woman named Rosie Ruiz became infamous for being disqualified at the Boston Marathon, I believe it was, for winning the race despite not competing at the start.
In 1999, as part of an ongoing feud with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Vince McMahon won the Royal Rumble, but stayed outside the ring, even chatting with commentators during the match, just because he could, being the owner of the company, and a corrupt, narcissistic one at that.
Last week, one of McMahon's closest friends took a page out of McMahon's playbook.
Yeah, Donald Trump, Washington's original Baron Munchausen, before George Santos came on the scene.
Now, as we all know, Trump was in North Carolina last Saturday, and, as it turns out,"presided" over the memorial service for Lynette "Diamond" Hardaway, 1/2 of Diamond & Silk, and made the event about him, more than Hardaway. Dare I say it was par for the course for Citizen Pampers? Of course.
Two days earlier, Trump had played a round of golf, and then decided to compete in a tournament at one of his courses, took his Thursday score, and added it to his Sunday total, and declared himself the winner. This shameless, pathetic, pathological, lying jackass makes most weekend players ashamed to have ever shared a course with him.
So, of course, late night talkers like ABC's Jimmy Kimmel roasted Trump. Farron Cousins focuses on Kimmel's lambasting.

In 2019, Rick Reilly from Sports Illustrated wrote a book called Commander-In-Cheat, documenting the then-President's malpractice on the world's golf courses (not limited to his own).
The book must have sold fairly well (it got a paperback edition a year later), but the general reaction seemed to be "So what? It's Trump - what did you expect?"
Anyhoo, the book is still available on Amazon for about $10, if anybody's interested ...
... and who knows? Maybe Rick Reilly might do a follow-up ...
If Trump ever tells the truth, it'll be a first. And I've heard of Reilly's book, too, BTW.
