About this listen
This book is dedicated to the truth. It's still a thing.
Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump is a fascinating on-the-ground and behind-the-scenes survey of Donald Trump's ethics deficit on and off the golf course.
Renowned sports writer Rick Reilly transports listeners onto the greens with President Trump, revealing the absurd ways in which he lies about his feats and what they can tell us about the way he leads off the course in the most important job in the world.
Reilly has been with Trump on the fairways, on the greens and in the rough; he has seen how the President plays - and it's not pretty. Based on his personal experiences and interviews with dozens of golf pros, amateurs, developers, partners, opponents and even caddies who have firsthand involvement with Trump out on the course, Reilly takes a deep and often hilarious look at how Trump shamelessly cheats at golf, lies about it, sues over it, bullies with it and profits from it.
From Trump's ridiculous claim to have won 18 club championships, to his devious cheating tricks, to his tainted reputation as a golf course tycoon, Commander in Cheat tells you everything you need to know about the man.
You could write a book about what Trump's golf reveals about him. Here it is.

Devastating account of Trump’s lack of integrity.
An amazing piece of journalism. Entertaining, horrifying and motivating. Extremely well written and equally well read. Thankyou.

Insightful
From someone who has not a gram of interest in golf (the ruination of a good walk ), please don't let the title put you off. An individual is the sum of every choice they ever made, and this work draws parallels and insights on 45 that are plausible and hard to ignore, as it is all on very public record. Even I can see the connection. A great read for golf-haters as well as golf-lovers!

Much better than expected
Really enjoyed this book. The author and narrator is very entertaining. His passion for golf is clear, but it is not a book about golf. It is a real insight into Trump's character from a man who very clearly knows him well. Easy to listen to and hilarious in many parts, the book gets better as it goes along.
A real surprise and one of my favourite books on Trump.

I wanna play golf!
I’ve had golf on the outer fringes of my life always there. But never really got past playing on sheep mown, pine cone littered, NZ public courses.
When I moved to Australia I was confronted with ‘The rules’ of a city golf course. And the sneers of those who had all the right clothing and equipment. At me. Who had but a rental set.
However. After listening to this book. I really want to play again!
Great job on the narration. I could tell it was from the heart.
And great job on the story. I got it all.

entertaining, illuminating and horrifying
This is a terrific book read by the author, who is clearly passionate about golf and how the President's broader behaviour is reflected in the broader world. Wonderful listening! The best ever!

scary
it's scary how much content you have on this man and scarier that he is in a position of such power. We all know someone who is a questionable individual and to whom nothing seems to stick. This one happens to be POTUS

Honest and illuminating
This audiobook both explains why Trump should never be allowed near the White House again while also explains how people fall his charm. The ripped off painter who voted for him anyway. Spoken with passion via the theme of golf, all without bias.

The most entertaining audiobook I've heard in ages
This audiobook was fantastic. The style of writing, and the excellent narrator do it so much justice. I knew Trump was a cheat at everything in life, but I never knew he was this bad. The correlation between golf and him as a president is funny and terrifying! I didn't think I liked golf, but Reilly may have changed my mind. His book is full of well researched facts and he writes with passion. Absolutely 5 stars.

Cheat and thief - Great book
Great book....Rick has a great sense of humour, I chuckled often, very entertaining and informative. Trump is a weak, pathetic pathological liar in all aspects of his life. Imagine living a lie like this ignorant narcissist
