Trump visits private golf course as US battles rapid surge in coronavirus cases

US President Trump visited one of his own private golf courses in Virginia on Saturday amid a rapid surge in coronavirus cases.

McDaniel’s talk of strength came as Trump was struggling with multiple crises, including the deadly surge in the covid-19 pandemic.

“Any suggestion that the president is not working around the clock to protect the health and safety of all Americans, lead the whole-of-government response to this pandemic, including expediting vaccine development, and rebuild our economy is utterly false,” White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere said in a statement. “While Do-Nothing-Democrats smear and slander this president, President Trump is going to ensure our nation is healthy, strong, and has a growing, prosperous economy.”

Trump, who has not appeared in public since Friday, visited one of his own private golf courses in Virginia on Saturday despite the pandemic and the nationwide struggle to tackle racial injustice and police brutality.
