Trump played golf on the same day he was sentenced
The New York Post reports that, directly after President-Elect Donald Trump was sentenced in the so-called hush-money case, he played a round of golf.
Per the outlet:
He’s going to play through. President-elect Donald Trump casually played a round of golf Friday afternoon — completely unfazed by the sentencing from New York Judge Juan Merchan.
If you are familiar with Trump, then it probably would have been stranger if he had not played a round after the sentencing.
Still, it is hard to believe there are too many people out there who would have been able to brush Merchan off the way Trump has.
The same day, and the same place!
Not only did Trump get in a round of golf after the sentencing, but he played the round at the same golf course of the second assassination attempt.
The Post reports:
The soon-to-be commander in chief donned his signature “Trump Was Right About Everything” cap as he swerved around in a golf cart on the links of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. It was the same course where Trump was nearly assassinated by a deranged would-be killer who camped out near the 6th hole with an AK-47 as the president played the 5th hole just a few hundred yards away.
Trump, as we know, also returned to the location of the first assassination attempt - the one in which is was struck by a bullet in the ear.
He did so by hold a huge pre-election rally, where he was joined by Elon Musk.
So, I guess it is not that surprising that Trump returned to the site of the second assassination attempt, considering that, at least this time, he did not get shot.
Earlier that day...
Just hours before Trump hit the golf court, he was in court in Manhattan, to receive his sentence in the "hush-money" case.
The judge decided not to issue any punishment. But, the kicker for the democrats is that, now that Trump has been sentenced, they can call him a "convicted felon."
Trump did not take it laying down. Instead, he blasted the judge - to his face - in a courtroom statement.
Trump, in part, said:
It’s been a political witch hunt. It was done to damage my reputation so that I’d lose the election and obviously that didn’t work . . . I just want to say, I think it’s an embarrassment to New York, and New York has a lot of problems, but this is a great embarrassment . . . And this has been a weaponization of government. They call it lawfare. Never happened to any extent like this, but never happened in our country before. And I’d just like to explain that I was treated very, very unfairly.
Trump is appealing the decision.
