Donald Trump spent at least part of his Sunday golfing as the United States announced the death of a seventh serviceman in the war with Iran.
That, of course, was not missed by opponents of the President. And Gavin Newsom has become, perhaps, the top Trump troll in the country so the Governor from California was quick to call him out.
“A 7th American soldier is now dead,” Newsom’s official press account on X posted. “But don’t worry, Donald Trump is golfing.”
There were plenty who also took Trump to task for hitting the links sporting the same white USA hat that he was criticized for not taking off during Saturday’s dignified transfer of the first six American soldiers killed in the war.
White House correspondent Hugo Lowell shared a photo of the President golfing and folks took things from there.
“When you golf hat and your dignified transfer hat are the same,” JoJoFromJerz wrote on X.
“Wearing the same hat he wore to disrespect the fallen soldiers,’ Debbie Lee wrote on X. “What a pig.”
One person simply shared a meme of Trump teeing off from atop a flag-draped coffin. Another share a meme of Trump teeing off in front of soldiers carrying a flag-draped coffin with the words, “That’s the way it is,” referencing the President’s words on the war with Iran.
“7th American soldier Died in #IranWar and #Trump is playing Golf,” Adil wrote on X.
“Geez, I wonder how much this costs American taxpayers,’ 3reecrossing wrote on X. “While the world is on fire, this madman has so much time on his hand that he can go golfing. Where are the Trump supporters now? Where is the outrage? I promise these Trump supporters will see their daddy doing this while the world’s on fire and say, well, it’s not as bad as Joe Biden or some other Democrat.”
“Maybe it’s me but I wouldn’t be doing this as our soldiers are in harms way,” Penolope wrote.
“That is how much he cares about both American service personnel and civilians,” Spiekaroonie wrote on X. “Some of us are rising our lives and some of us are struggling to feed our families because of him and his policies. So he goes and plays golf.”
Trump has yet to respond to the criticism.
