Over Memorial Day weekend, President Trump hit the links for a round of golf, an outing that took place while the total official count for COVID-19-related deaths in the U.S. neared 100,000. Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden promptly “pounced,” posting a campaign ad portraying Trump as callously indulging in the leisurely sport while Americans die because of his supposed mismanagement of the crisis. Trump has since responded by highlighting a few facts Biden’s ad left out.
“Nearly 100,000 lives have been lost, and tens of millions are out of work. Meanwhile, the president spent his day golfing,” Biden tweeted Saturday along with a 30-second ad featuring Trump golfing at his private club in Virginia juxtaposed with eerie pandemic footage amid dramatic music.
