President Donald Trump was seen on the golf course Monday morning, contradicting his earlier statement that he wouldn’t partake in leisure activities that day. The sighting occurred at Trump National Doral Golf Club, with images of the former president actively engaged in a game shared on social media.
Fox News correspondent Aishah Hasnie posted the photos on X (formerly Twitter), sparking conversations about Trump’s weekend itinerary. The outing drew attention in light of comments Trump made on Saturday while aboard Air Force One. When asked by CNN’s Betsy Klein about the possibility of golfing at Doral on Monday, Trump replied, “No. I don’t think so. I’m busy.”
Despite the declaration, Monday’s appearance followed a Sunday filled with similar recreational activity. Trump reportedly spent a significant portion of his day on the golf course, raising questions about his adherence to the demanding schedule typically expected of a former president engaged in public and political activities.
This isn’t the first time Trump’s golfing habits have come under scrutiny. Throughout his presidency, critics and political commentators often highlighted the frequency of his visits to golf courses, contrasting them with his previous critiques of former President Barack Obama for similar outings.
While Trump’s supporters often defend his recreational time as a form of strategic relaxation or informal networking, detractors argue it reflects a lack of focus on pressing matters, particularly during pivotal moments in politics or legal affairs.
The photos shared by Hasnie quickly gained traction online, prompting mixed reactions. Some users mocked Trump’s change of plans, referencing his earlier statement, while others saw it as a non-issue, defending his right to leisure.
As Trump remains a key figure in Republican politics and a potential candidate for the 2024 presidential race, public interest in his actions and choices continues to run high. The scrutiny surrounding his golfing activities is a reflection of the larger conversation about transparency, accountability, and priorities for public officials—even after leaving office.
For Trump, whose schedule is often a mix of political engagements, public appearances, and personal time, Monday’s outing serves as yet another talking point for both his supporters and critics. Whether it’s a sign of him taking a well-deserved break or a lapse in focus is, as always, open to interpretation.
While Trump himself has yet to comment on Monday’s golfing session, his initial “I’m busy” remark will likely fuel further debates about how he manages his time and commitments.
