US President Donald Trump considers himself an excellent golfer. In fact, he cheats at every opportunity, even against celebrity teammates like Tiger Woods.

Donald Trump was determined to do something about the corona virus. His government was in the process of "developing a strategy," he said in the White House at the end of July, when around four million Americans had already been infected.

Shortly afterwards he went to Bedminster, New Jersey, to play golf at his private club. There he played a round with Brett Favre, a former National Football League playmaker; He proudly posed with the football idol for a photo, thumbs up.

It wasn't the first time that golf was more important to him than government business. At the end of June Trump announced in capital letters on Twitter that he wanted to take care of "law and order" and spend the weekend in Washington. Thousands of people demonstrated against racism and police violence in the capital. Just a day later, the President went to Sterling, Virginia, to play golf at another of his private clubs.

It looks like pure passion that captivates Trump. But the game of golf also shows his ignorance of the country's plight and his ability to disobey the rules when it serves his advantage - even in his spare time, the US President does not shy away from lousy tricks.
