Reporter Asks Trump if He’s in a ‘Bad Mood’ Because He Had a ‘Bad Morning of Golf’
President Donald Trump was confronted, during a press engagement Sunday, about whether he was in a bad mood because of a lousy day on the Scottish links.
Speaking with the media ahead of a sitdown with EU president Ursula von der Leyen, a reporter wanted to get an understanding of why — in her estimation — Trump was being surly.
“Can I ask why you’re in a bad mood?” The reporter asked. “Was it a bad morning of golf, or why you not in a good mood?”
The 79-year-old president — who claims to have won five club championships this year alone — did not admit to a poor round.
“The golf was beautiful,” Trump said. “Golf can never be bad. Even if you play badly, it’s still good. If you had a bad day on the golf course, it’s OK. It’s better than other days.”
The question underscored the part-business, part-pleasure nature of Trump’s trip across the Atlantic. The president teed it up Sunday morning at one of his courses in Turnberry, Scotland. The president has lobbied for Turnberry’s Ailsa Course, which is ranked no. 8 in the world by Golf Digest, to host the prestigious Open Championship — one of the four majors of men’s golf. It last hosted the Open in 2009.
