Mediaite reports:
President Donald Trump struck back at those criticizing him for playing golf this weekend, firing off several tweets attacking former Vice President — and Trump’s presumptive Democratic opponent — Joe Biden. On Saturday, the president was spotted golfing on his course in Sterling, Virginia, for the first time since early March.
Photographs of Trump were met with immediate criticism, for the timing as the United States nears 100,000 dead from the coronavirus pandemic, for his failure to wear a mask, and for the apparent hypocrisy. Trump had frequently criticized former President Barack Obama for golfing during his presidency.
Sleepy Joe’s representatives have just put out an ad saying that I went to play golf (exercise) today. They think I should stay in the White House at all times. What they didn’t say is that it’s the first time I’ve played golf in almost 3 months, that Biden was constantly…..

Awww, the guy who has let 100,000 Americans die on his watch is mad that people want him to do his job instead of golfing.

Trump is unhinged, unfit, incompetent, lazy and a total failure as President. His weekend desecrations of the Presidency and moral failures as a leader are profound. He is despicable. What exactly is it his defenders are defending at this point? What case can there be for 4 more?
