Trump is addicted to the ball again, and this time he was caught by the White House.

While the anger caused by "Freud’s death" in the United States is burning all over the United States, several data of COVID-19 epidemic have "hit a new high". At this juncture, Trump turned out to be "addicted" to golf and "committed". But this time, with the intervention of the White House, he failed to get what he wanted.
According to the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) on the 7th, it was learned from two people familiar with the decision of the White House that Trump had planned to spend the weekend at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. However, the White House directly "shot" a few days ago and changed the itinerary, which led to the cancellation of the trip to Bedminster.
According to people familiar with the matter, the decision of the White House is largely because Trump went to his private club to play golf when the fire of demonstrations in the United States was "burning"."The public influence may be bad."(the potential for “bad optics”)。

It is worth mentioning that "bad optics" is a special term in business and political circles. YourDictionary, a popular American dictionary website, also began to "smuggle goods": the example of "optics" was replaced by "a politician who beat Goff during a demonstration in his own country is an example of" bad public influence ". Because the dictionary website is connected to the Google search engine, it searches for "bad optics" in Google.This example will appear on the home page..
Examples of "Your Dictionary" for optics
According to NBC, Trump’s original plan was to go directly to New Jersey after visiting the swab factory in Maine on Friday (5th) and spend a "working weekend" there.
According to USA-Today, during this trip to Maine, Trump still refused to wear masks and other protective equipment when he visited the swab factory. The workers on the production line were "armed to the feet". Trump not only passed in front of them, but also stopped to talk with some workers.
Afterwards, the marketing manager of the company said in an interview that all the swabs produced by the factory during Trump’s visit that day would be discarded.
Trump finally agreed with the White House advisers and canceled his trip to New Jersey. NBC quoted people familiar with the president’s decision-making as saying that thousands of demonstrators continued to protest in front of the White House on Saturday, so the original plan may "cause problems". NBC reported that if this trip can take place, it will be Trump’s visit to his golf club again after a lapse of five months since last August.
It is reported that,Trump has put Bedminster on the agenda again.According to the current schedule, he will spend at least one day there next weekend to hold a live fundraising event for the presidential election. However, the report did not say whether Trump will play golf in Bedminster next week.
Although Trump said that he would not have time to play golf before the 16-year general election, he repeatedly reneged after his election. CNN reported that on May 23rd, when the death toll from COVID-19 in the United States was approaching 100,000, President Trump was photographed playing golf at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.

The Huffin Post said on April 23 that American taxpayers are often angry at Trump’s frequent visits to his private golf course. According to an analysis of the newspaper, as of February, Trump spent a total of $133.8 million on his golf trip, equivalent to his salary of 334 years.
The "Black Bloody Case" has triggered the 12th day of protests and demonstrations in the United States. The Hill said that the number of protesters in all parts of the United States reached record levels this Saturday. The main roads of Philadelphia, the entrance of the White House in Washington, D.C., and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco are crowded with demonstrators. The newspaper said that at present, the number of newly confirmed cases in 23 States in the United States is increasing every week, and in the past four days, many States have set a record for newly confirmed cases since the outbreak.
According to NBC, after Trump’s trip was cancelled this weekend, there are no specific arrangements, and the White House has not received a notice that Trump will appear before the end of this week. The protest in front of the White House has reached the ninth day, and thousands of demonstrators are still walking on the streets of Washington, DC.
