Club Guest Posts Instagram Picture Of President Trump Golfing

BEDMINSTER, NJ — As the world braces for conflict in the wake of escalation of tensions between the United States and North Korea, Instagram user mikefaz1215 posted a picture of himself with President Trump Wednesday afternoon at the Trump National Golf Club.

The White House has been reluctant to respond to questions about the president's golf schedule, despite the fact that he has spent many weekends at his courses during his short presidency. Trump and members of his team are currently staying at the course in Bedminster for a 17-day stay — which the president insists is not a vacation — as the White House undergoes renovations.

A spokesperson for the president did not respond to a request for comment about his golfing schedule. This story will be updated with any reply.

Before he was president, Trump consistently criticized President Obama for his golfing habit.

Trump also said during the campaign that he would stop golfing if elected and never go on vacation because he would have too much work to do.
