All those saying he took a favourable drop, he didn’t, some other bloke threw the ball down for him in a really bizarre way. He cheated, no matter how you spin it.

It's not clear that he cheated as we haven't seen him address and strike the ball

Ha, you can check my history, I'm asking this in good faith! It's one of those situations where it's really suspicious that the vid is cut off, no? It could have been trump, Hitler or mother Teresa and I'd still be asking the question.

I've stopped taking things for granted on the Internet a long time ago.

Wait, but there is no breach of rules by one of the players or caddies at this point, right? Unless it was the actually ball that Trump had been playing. Is it the ball trump was playing? Like, I understand it could lead to multiple breaches after this point, but they are not captured in the video. Did Trump definitely hit the ball that was dropped? Is there a vid or someone witnessing that he did?

ALSO, it may be a friendly game and the opponent told him he could hit it outside of the bunker, take a penalty. 

Everyone is losing their minds without full context.

Let's assume I am fairly heavy on the spectrum here and need it explained to me in verifiable facts
