US Presidential Candidate Donald Trump Goes on Twitter Rant Against Actor Samuel Jackson Over Golf
Donald Trump may have just started a public feud with Samuel Jackson. The U.S. Presidential candidate sent a series of tweets recently after the Hollywood actor revealed Trump cheated in a golf game.
Trump's first tweet was a response to Jackson's statements during an interview with Rhapsody magazine. "The Hateful Eight" actor had revealed that he knows Trump and that his "Trump National Golf Club" had even charged him even though he is not a member of the club. The 69-year old candidate denied knowing Jackson in his tweet.
I don’t know @SamuelLJackson, to best of my knowledge haven't played golf w/him & think he does too many TV commercials—boring. Not a fan.

Jackson later talked about Trump's denial that they know each other during his interview on "The Late Show with Seth Meyers" on Tuesday. The Hollywood actor said he and Trump always meet each other because they both love to play golf. Jackson recalled, one time, he and the U.S. presidential candidate played golf together and suggested Trump had cheated.
"We clearly saw him hook a ball into a lake at Trump National in Jersey. And his caddy told him, 'We found it,'" he told Meyers. Trump's caddy reportedly didn't look wet after he emerged from the lake, suggesting Trump had cheated on the game.
However, the U.S. presidential hopeful once again took to his Twitter to deny that he cheats on his games. He also criticized Jackson for his skills in playing golf.
I don’t cheat at golf but @SamuelLJackson cheats—with his game he has no choice—and stop doing commercials! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2016
Don’t like @SamuelLJackson’s golf swing. Not athletic. I’ve won many club championships. Play him for charity!

The pair's "feud," as Meyers called it, reportedly started after Jackson told Rhapsody about the bill he got from "Trump National Golf Club." The actor revealed Trump had made him a member of the club without his knowledge.
On his end, the "Snakes on a Plane" star also shared a photo of the bill that was given to him on his Instagram. A copy of the now-deleted photo is posted by The Grio, which shows a charge of $15 charged by Trump National Golf Club Bedminster. The actor had captioned the image, "A bill from the guy that doesn't know me & never golfed with me! I'm gonna Block his ass too!"
Jackson likewise told Meyers during his interview that he didn't pay the bill because he hasn't been to the club in three years. As for knowing Trump, Jackson said there are a lot of people who can vouch about his affiliations with the U.S. presidential candidate.
Comedian Anthony Anderson is one since they reportedly both played with Trump in the same golf game. Anderson also commented on Trump's tweet about not knowing Jackson.
