President Trump and his granddaughter, Kai Trump, had quite a golf weekend.
On Friday, the President of the United States, 79, and his granddaughter, Kai Trump, 18, attended the Ryder Cup. President Trump watched what was a pretty miserable day for Team USA. The Americans fell in a big hole to the Europeans at Bethpage Black in New York. While Team USA made a big push for a comeback on Sunday, they ultimately fell short, with Europe taking home the trophy.

Golf fans were quick to notice President Trump’s ‘disrespectful’ move
Golf fans were quick to notice that President Trump pulled an ultimate no-no on the golf course – driving the cart on the green.

“Not out of ordinary for senior golf players,” another wrote.
“Disrespectful,” one shared.
“It’s his green so he can do what he wants!” another shared.
This is not the first time President Trump has broken a “cardinal rule” of golf. Eight years ago, CNN captured video of President Trump driving on the green. Even the “Today” show talked about it live on the air.
Is President Trump allowed to drive on the green, even if he’s the President of the United States?
