Trump Blasted for Golfing as More Die in His War

Source: msn/Daily Beast

11h


The president’s love of golf has once again found him under fire.

President Donald Trump was spotted playing golf at his Trump National Doral in Miami, Florida, on Sunday morning, as updates about the devastation in the Middle East due to his surprise war that began last week continue to roll in.

In a video shared to X by the user PatriotTakes, Trump, 79, is seen returning from a round of golf on his favorite course, wearing the same baseball cap he sported during Saturday’s dignified transfer of remains for the six American service members killed in his war with Iran.

It didn’t take long for Trump to be called out for his apparent poor sense of priorities. “America is at war, TSA agents aren’t being paid and this guy is playing golf,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wrote on X. “Why are House Republicans continuing to support this train wreck? Sycophants.”

He's had a bad time of it lately. No more little girls to ....
His fellow molesters are getting in trouble left and right,
Andy's lost his Royalty card,
Jeff's dead,
another "friend" is stuck abusing some dogs in a Texas prison
Judges have told him he can't keep his ill gotten tariff gains,
other judges are making him give people back,
he lives in a shack painted gold,
and everybody is telling him to get lubed up for November.
Oh yeah, his friend got him into a war with no end in sight and,
REALLY F*CKED OUR ECONOMY.

So yeah, he's gonna play some golf while he tries to figure out an escape plan like he has always done during his failures. (Bancruptcies, divorces, casinos, impeachments)

He loves golf...and hates our troops.

Why would anyone expect anything different from him?

... because he ALWAYS plays golf on Sundays and usually Saturdays too. He was probably ticked that the Army had to fly those dead bodies of soldiers in on the SAME DAY! What an inconvenience.....

Meanwhile the rest of the country:

...to realize golfing while soldiers were dying in the wars he started was a bad look, and set his clubs aside until he left office.

Trump, on the other hand, needs to golf. How else would he divert money from the Secret Service's operational accounts to his own without golf?
