In the midst of a coronavirus pandemic, and as the United States approaches of the sad record of 100,000 deaths, the American president wanted to air out this weekend, going to play golf in his Virginia club. A behavior that obviously did not please this resident of the city of Sterling who addressed an explicit finger of honor to Donald Trump during the passage of his convoy.
Strongly criticized in the media, the head of state was indignant on Monday that his two outings of golf, Saturday and Sunday, caused very virulent articles and aggressive reactions from political opponents. He denounced a relentlessness of which he would be the victim on the part of the “Fake and totally corrupt media” who spoke of his sports activities as if they constituted “a deadly sin”.
“I knew it would happen!” He thundered. “What they don’t say is that it was my first golf in almost three months. If I had waited three years, they would have written the same articles anyway,” said defended Donald Trump.
A precedent in 2017
Already in 2017, still in Sterling, a cyclist also did a finger of honor to the President on his way to his golf course. Photographed from behind by the White House team, Juli Briskman had acknowledged being the author of this gesture to his employer who then decided to fire her. That didn’t stop her from winning a local election in Virginia two years later.
