The left is going bat-sh*t crazy over President Trump playing golf on Memorial Day.
Biden’s handler or nurse took to Twitter and posted this attack message:
Nearly 100,000 lives have been lost, and tens of millions are out of work.
Meanwhile, the president spent his day golfing. pic.twitter.com/H1BVNtgVjA

MORE NEWS: Grounded Flights and Political Turbulence
What does Biden think President Trump should be doing? Sitting inside the White House contemplating his belly button?
These hyper-emotional communists forget that Barack Hussien Obama was the Golfer in Chief.
Biden’s comments on “golfing” backfired, and the story of the day turned into how much golfing his old boss Obama did on all his Memorial Days in office.
As a matter of fact, out of the 8 Memorial Day weekends, Barry golfed 7 of them.
Oddly enough, liberals didn’t care back when that happened.
The media echoed that criticism.
However, President Obama was notorious for golfing — even when the country was at war, or in mid-crisis. And he golfed on Memorial Day weekend every year but one. According to the tally at trumpgolfoutings.com, Obama golfed:
Monday, May 25, 2009
Monday, May 30, 2011
Saturday, May 26, 2012
Saturday, May 25, 2013
Saturday, May 24, 2014
Saturday, May 23, 2015
Saturday, May 28, 2016
The only exception was in 2010, when Obama went back to visit Chicago — and drew criticism from conservatives for failing to lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day to mark the occasion. (He laid a wreath at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery near Chicago, instead.)In a series of tweets, President Trump responded to the criticism, noting it was the first time he had golfed in months — and that Obama had infamously golfed after speaking briefly about the beheading of American James Foley by ISIS:
President Trump chimed in and defended himself in a series of tweets.
“Some stories about the fact that in order to get outside and perhaps, even a little exercise, I played golf over the weekend. The Fake & Totally Corrupt News makes it sound like a mortal sin – I knew this would happen! What they don’t say is that it was my first golf in almost…”

“…3 months and, if I waited 3 years, they would do their usual “hit” pieces anyway. They are sick with hatred and dishonesty. They are truly deranged! They don’t mention Sleepy Joe’s poor work ethic, or all of the time Obama spent on the golf course, often flying to….”

“….Hawaii in a big, fully loaded 747, to play. What did that do to the so-called Carbon Footprint? He also played moments after the brutal killing by ISIS of a wonderful young man. Totally inappropriate – and it was me who shattered 100% of the ISIS Caliphate. I was left a MESS!”

President Trump has been working tirelessly on the COVID crisis. He earned this weekend to enjoy himself.
And bonus, seeing him out and about gave many Americans a feeling of hope that things were finally getting back to normal.
