Trump enjoys second day of golf

U.S. President Donald Trump played golf for the second time since the coronavirus pandemic broke out, visiting his club in the Washington suburbs on Sunday.

The president also played a round at his Trump National Golf Club on Saturday, his first time at a golf property since March 8, when he visited his club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

On Sunday, Trump - along with most of those in his group - did not sport masks for the outing.

Later, Trump and others could be seen standing close together near the course's club house.

Trump is eager to promote the idea that the United States is returning to normal, although the death toll from the coronavirus outbreak continues to rise and is expected to surpass 100,000 in the coming days.

Trump's coronavirus task force coordinator, Deborah Birx, told a White House briefing on Friday that Americans over this Memorial Day weekend should "be outside, play golf, play tennis with marked balls, go to the beach - but stay six feet apart!"
