President Donald Trump golfed 25 times from the first known death in the US from COVID-19 to Sept. 22.

Over 200,000 Americans have died from COVID-19.

Trump says his administration deserves an A+ in terms of its response to the pandemic.

The US has the highest reported death toll from the virus in the world.

More Americans have died from COVID-19 than all US soldiers killed in battle in wars since 1945 combined.

In the course of roughly seven months, more than 200,000 Americans have died from the novel coronavirus. No other country in the world has more confirmed fatalities from COVID-19 than the US. The US also has the highest number of reported COVID-19 cases of any country: more than 6.8 million.

All presidents take breaks from the job, but Trump spent years criticizing his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, for golfing while serving as commander-in-chief. "Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf. Worse than Carter," Trump tweeted in October 2014....

Trump on the campaign trail in 2016 also said he wouldn't have time to golf if elected. "I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to go play golf," Trump said in August 2016.


The president's visits to his properties have also raised ethics concerns in relation to the amount of tax-dollars spent on each trip. Sunday marked Trump's 394th visit to one of his properties and 297th visit to one of his golf clubs as president.

As Trump golfed, people were dying across the country....
