Around the world, leaders and health authorities were struggling to try to get a handle on the rapidly spreading coronavirus. But in the United States, President Donald Trump seems to have thought it would be a great time to hit the links with professional baseball players. On Sunday, the commander in chief played golf with current and former Washington Nationals players at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
The White House doesn’t normally release details about the president’s golf outings but on Sunday, pitcher Patrick Corbin posted a series of photos on his Instagram of the game with the president. “So this happened today,” he wrote. “Got to golf with the President!” Others who took part in the outing included first baseman Ryan Zimmerman, catcher Kurt Suzuki, shortstop Trea Turner, and former outfielder Jayson Werth, according to the Hill.

Sickening. Add as exhibit ZZZ for the DNCMedia politicizing Coronavirus!
President Trump is NOT going to cure the stupid disease. Last I checked he was not Jesus AND he is letting the Vice President handle everything.
These people are a curse on the country.
He really does make the left crazier daily.
They aren’t used to a President that can walk and chew gum at the same time. Obama golfed and did nothing else but pad his bank account.
I sure would rather that he play golf to deal with the extended boxing match they’ve engaged him in, instead of using blowjob therapy with young interns!

+1000!
Fake news running amok.
Setting good example by living normally.
Katrina! Katrina!
Just like Condoleeza Rice went shopping while the Democrat governor of Louisiana couldn’t figure out how to get aid to people in New Orleans stadium.
Tell me this entire “plague” isn’t another manufactured story blown out of proportion.
In the meantime, many of us are being told we might have to “telecommute”, which for government is much the same as what Trump was doing. So why can’t he?
I am sure he wiped down the clubs and worse gloves. What else is he going to do? Go to Kirkland and don gowns.
What did “the numbers surge” to...2 bloody hundred???
They’re dropping like...what’s the real number.
What worries me is that the numbers will surge to equal murders in Chicago
These are same idiots that on Sunday actually said Trump SHOULD go out on the golf course and not “interfere” with the CDC.
They are soooo screwed up!!
I keep hearing about test kits.The reality is the reaction to the virus is worse than the virus. Test kits do not help anyone. They do not stop the virus. They just give larger numbers to the media. You can’t stop this virus. You can only try to stop the panic.
People need to look at a few important facts. Iceland has 58 cases. The Maldives in the middle of the Indian ocean has 4 cases. Perth a city all alone on the other side of the Australian desert has 4 cases. Hawaii has 2 cases. Martinique has two cases. Nigeria has two cases. There is no corner of the world that has been spared from the virus.
So test kits only give us larger numbers. They don’t help us stop this. We cannot stop this. We can only let it flow over us.
Lets remember tests don’t tell you about a person having the virus. It tells you whether you have the virus now. Lets say you are on a cruise ship. You test negative. 3 days later you come to a port. Was that test valid? Or do you need a new test? Tests can be important. But they solve very little.
The press is problematic. They are still trying to stop the virus. They are trying to cause panic. They want to complain. Jim Cramer is going nuts right now. He wants to stop the world so he can stop the virus. All it will help is to stop the economy. The virus will keep going across the world.
What do they want him to do, hide in his presidential bunker and tell everyone to panic?
bert, you are a very wise person, if you get my drift.
