President Donald Trump drew attention after posting on social media about a golf tournament win while tensions in the Middle East remained unsettled. He said he shot a 70 to win an event at his own golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, and shared video of an approach shot.
Trump also wrote that his success was due to his “talent.” The post came after he left Camp David on May 31 and traveled directly to Bedminster for the weekend.
Trump owns golf courses across the country and is known to play golf almost every weekend. His latest post stood out because it highlighted a personal hobby at a time when U.S.-Iran military conflict had left the Middle East unstable.
The timing prompted questions from some observers about his priorities, especially because developments in the Middle East can affect global oil prices and supply chains.
