President Donald Trump has shown again that he is no mood to slow down on his personal passions even as the coronavirus pandemic is giving America a tough time. The poll-bound incumbent president was seen kicking off his Fourth of July weekend by going to Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia. It was the third time this week that Trump has been found going for golfing. Pictures came up from the private golf club showing the president arriving just around 10 am with a white polo shirt, red-ball cap and dark pants on and his likely opponent in this year's presidential election Joe Biden is not impressed.
Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, slammed Trump’s golfing schedules at a time when the coronavirus cases have surged in the country. The US has now nearly 2.8 million cases while more than 129,000 lives have been lost in the pandemic. In a tweet, the 77-year-old former vice president asked Trump to fix the shortage of PPEs before attending the golf round. “We are five months into this crisis, and our health care workers still don't have the masks and protective equipment they need. It's a national disgrace. Mr. President, use your authority and fix the shortage of PPE before you tee off for yet another round of golf,” he said.
Trump visited golf clubs more than 270 times after becoming president
According to a report in The Golf News Net, Trump has visited golf clubs more than 270 times since taking over as the president in January 2017. He had said during his campaigning for the 2016 presidential election that he would have less time for golfing after becoming president because of work.
