99,000 of those deaths would have happened regardless. People die every day. Now a 90 year old dies and it’s a Corona death.

I do think this is why this has become a thing. Conservatives went crazy on Obama golfing.

Then along comes Trump and he makes Obama's golf playing look amateurish.

BUT -- it's silly from both sides.

And especially since it has been a long five months and Trump hasn't played golf.

HE can't leave and breath his job 24/7.
And it's the long week end, we have nice weather.

We all need to get out and do something for ourselves.

Lots to criticize Trump for, playing golf today is just petty.

This is petty and unnecessary.. There is enough substantive criticism and concern for how he has managed himself durig this crisis and the last three years without resorting to this kind of petty attack.
No. Trump endlessly attacked Obama for golfing and proceeds to golf three times as much. He gets no sympathy.

Oh because Trump did it we should all play along.

That's not how I roll.

I don't agree with Pelosi's petty attack on Trump's appearance because Trump does it, nor this criticism of the PResident playing a round of golf on a long weekend after five months of dealing (poorly yes -- poorly) with this crisis.

We end up in a vicous circle -- he did it so the next guy can....ugh.

I agree with you, but some tend to think that playing a sport is insensitive when there is a crisis going on. That's just how some people will view this. But most people only view it that way half of the time.

The death numbers keeps adding up. But cheats on his golf score to brag about. You should read up on how accurate he keeps score and how he plays. No surprise there.
