Trump Golfs While More Americans Die
rump, who has faced mounting criticism for his administrations mishandling of the coronavirus crisis and his lack of empathy throughout, decided to leave the White House on Saturday to play golf.
According to several reports, todays trip to the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, is likely his first outing to one of his private golf courses since early March. However, during the two working weekends the president spent at Camp David in May, it is unknown whether or not he played golf.
Trump going golfing is consistent with his reopen theme that hes been pushing of late, but it still shows a tone-deafness and a lack of empathy. The U.S. pandemic death toll is approaching 100,000, and on top of that its Memorial Day weekend, a solemn occasion meant for tributes to Americans lost at war.
Trumps work ethic hypocrisy is also on display here. Months before he would announce his candidacy for president of the United States, Trump was in full birther mode as he made several rounds on various cable news programs and talk shows attempting to delegitimize Americas first black president, Barack Obama. But when he took a pause from his factless racist attacks, hed instead take issue with Obamas penchant for hitting the links.
