Trying to project a sense of normalcy, President Donald Trump returned to the golf course Saturday.
He last visited his Virginia golf course in October of 2019, though he also visited his course in Florida in March.
The White House did not respond to a request for information about the president's activities. The Trump White House rarely confirms that the president is playing golf. Trump's trip came a day after Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus coordinator, said that the Washington, D.C., metro area has the highest positive COVID rate of any city in the country. Birx suggested that Americans could"potentially" play golf if they are"very careful and you don't touch the flags, and all of those issues.
"And where, this Memorial Day weekend, is Trump? Working hard to avoid the next 100,000 deaths?" tweeted John Weaver, a GOP consultant and frequent Trump critic."No. He's golfing, which is Lazy Caligula's form of fiddling."
