As the country grapples with a resurging pandemic and economic catastrophe, President Donald Trump decided to hit the golf course for a ‘very fast’ round of golf, you know, to relax for the second day in a row.
But it seems as though it was a touch too quick for Donald Trump’s caddie, who was seen holding on to the back of the golf cart for dear life as Trump sped off down the course.
In a clip that’s been shared online, the president can be seen driving his cart along his Virginia golf course, but it appears as though there wasn’t any room for the caddie to sit up top with him.
Instead, he’s seen gripping tight hold of the back of the cart, before hopping off and calmly handing Trump his club. Not fazed at all.

Sharing the clip to her Twitter account, NBC White House correspondent Kelly O’Donnell said: “Brief video clip from the president’s golf outing. The course is the only place he gets to drive himself. Secret Service positioned nearby. The caddie holding on in back.”

Trump has now spent “259 days on a golf course that he owns in his 1,270 days in office,” reported HuffPost correspondent S.V. Dáte, who was the White House pool reporter for print covering the day’s events.
Before leaving the White House for a Sunday game of golf, the 74-year-old President lashed out at the media, writing:
“I know many in business and politics that work out endlessly, in some cases to a point of exhaustion. It is their number one passion in life, but nobody complains. My ‘exercise’ is playing, almost never during the week, a quick round of golf. Obama played more and much longer rounds, no problem.
“When I play, Fake News CNN, and others, park themselves anywhere they can to get a picture, then scream ‘President Trump is playing golf’.
“Actually, I play VERY fast, get a lot of work done on the golf course, and also get a ‘tiny’ bit of exercise. Not bad!”
