Trump responds to critics blasting him for playing golf over the weekend

US president Donald Trump, has responded to criticisms who called him out after he was photographed golfing while the US battled with the Coronavirus pandemic.

Trump has now taken to his Twitter page to blast his critics.

"Some stories about the fact that in order to get outside and perhaps, even a little exercise, I played golf over the weekend.'' he Tweeted.



" 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!" he concluded.
