President Donald Trump reportedly missed a White House-backed faith event on Sunday to play golf at his club in Virginia. Thousands gathered on the National Mall for the 'Rededicate 250' celebration, which highlighted the Church's role in history and civic life ahead of America's 250th anniversary.
Trump spent the afternoon at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, arriving just before 1pm and leaving after 4.20pm, according to White House press pool dispatches. He had been scheduled to appear via video message at the event.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: 'I HOPE EVERYBODY AT REDEDICATE 250 IS HAVING A GOOD TIME. IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP, JUST HAVE OUR BEAUTIFUL, BOTH INSIDE AND OUT, RACHAEL C.D., GIVE ME A CALL. I’M BACK FROM CHINA!!!'
According to the tracker Did Trump Golf Today, the president has played golf on 106 of his first 483 days back in office, about 21.9 percent of his presidency. He also skipped the Easter Service last month for a motorcade tour and a visit to his golf club.
