The president of the United States, Donald Trump,
visited his golf course
in Sterling, Virginia, near Washington on
Sunday
, for the second day in a row after the announcement of his loss to Joe Biden in the presidential elections of the United States.
A golf fan, the Republican president
was already on the greens when the US media
projected on Saturday that he could no longer catch up with Democrat Joe Biden, who became the president-elect of the United States after the November 3 elections.
Donald Trump does not acknowledge his defeat and says, without supporting evidence, that the election is marked by irregularities.
On the trip from the White House to Sterling, Trump was able to see Americans waving hostile signs as his caravan passed.
And the day before, joyous crowds had taken to the streets of major American cities to celebrate their defeat.
Joe Biden, meanwhile,
went to church Sunday morning in his town of Wilmington,
Delaware.
A practicing Catholic, he regularly attends mass.

Hours after Biden gave his victory speech this Saturday from Wilmington (Delaware), Trump still avoided commenting on it.
Biden, who was a former vice president between 2009 and 2017 with then-President Barack Obama, presented himself in that speech
as the conciliatory leader
who will seek to end polarization in the country.
Previously, Trump had insisted that the elections were "far from over" and promised a legal offensive against his allegations, without evidence, of electoral fraud.
Historically, once the media projects the final result,
after a few hours the defeated person usually calls the victorious candidate to congratulate him.
However, it seems that Trump, who has been characterized by not following Washington's political traditions, does not plan to acknowledge defeat in the short term.
Beyond the crossroads of accusations, the cities where there is a Democratic majority, such as Washington, New York or San Francisco
became a party on Saturday,
with rivers of people flooding their streets and shouting "Trump, you are fired", the mythical phrase that the magnate pronounced in the television program "The Apprentice".
The projection of Biden's triumph came after almost four days of agonizing wait, as the states counted the record of ballots sent by mail in the elections with the most participation in the country's history.
