heartbreaking news for Charley Hull

A staunch opponent of drinking, drugs and tobacco, Donald Trump is ready to make an exception for a leggy, blonde 28-year-old golf phenom who happens to think he’s a genius.

‘I love Trump,’ cigarette enthusiast and LPGA star Charley Hull said in November. ‘I think he’s brilliant.’

The quote was included in a Fox News post that the president-elect happily shared on Truth Social. Also included is the image of the glamorous English star wearing a short golf skirt, long-sleeve dark polo shirt and a white sponsor-emblazoned hat. At first glance, Hull appears to be holding a cigarette in her right hand, but upon closer inspection, the small shape is revealed to be a golf tee.

And this isn’t the first time Hull has shown her support for Trump. Hull, who has gained notoriety for smoking during events, was competing at The Annika at Pelican Golf Club in November when she was snapped performing the arm-jerking dance moves that have become associated with Trump.

Hull, the world’s 10th-ranked player, has long-been tipped as a future star of the golfing world, playing in several amateur tournaments during her early teens and being a part of the European team that won the Solheim Cup in 2023.

She competed in the Curtis Cup – the amateur version of the Solheim Cup – when she was just 16, while she turned professional before her 17th birthday.
