The president was pictured playing golf at the Trump National Doral in Miami on Monday morning. President Donald Trump has been called out for hitting the golf course just one week after being sworn in for his second term. According to CNN’s Betsy Klein, Trump was asked onboard Air Force One on Saturday whether he’d have time to play golf while visiting the resort. “No. I don’t think so. I’m busy,” he reportedly replied.

“Imagine any of us starting a job and taking the first Monday off to golf,” one person responded to the pictures of the president on X (formerly Twitter). “He’s been at it for a week now. Give him a break!” someone else jested. “It took President Trump all the way to the first full Monday in office to spend the morning golfing at one of his Trump-branded golf courses,” ethics watchdog Citizens for Ethics posted.
“Donald Trump is hard at work at his Doral golf club where Republican members of the House are using taxpayer funds to visit,” another person said. On Sunday, Trump struck an agreement with Colombia to accept flights of deported migrants from the U.S.
Trump had threatened Colombia with “emergency 25 percent tariffs” and a number of “decisive retaliatory measures” after President Gustavo Petro blocked two repatriation flights from landing. Fox & Friends co-anchor Steve Doocy said he “read in some news source” that “this all happened while Donald Trump was playing golf.”.
