Donald Trump Fights with London's Mayor Over Criticism Because He Golfed During Hurricane Dorian

PresidentDonald Trumpon Tuesday snapped back at criticism over his decision to go golfing this week asHurricane Doriancontinued its deadly approachtoward the United States.

Khan was apparently referring to when Trump traveled Saturday to one of his golf courses in Virginia, wherehe reportedlyspent some time golfing. The White House declined to comment but stressed that he was “being briefed every hour” on the hurricane.

Trump confused a bit of this backlash on Twitter Tuesday, when he confirmed that, yes, he had been golfing — but on Monday, after Dorian had made landfall in the Bahamas.

“The incompetent Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, was bothered that I played a very fast round of golf yesterday,” Trumptweeted. “Many Pols exercise for hours, or travel for weeks. Me, I run through one of my courses (very inexpensive).”

Taking another swipe at Khan, Trumpadded, “He is a terrible mayor who should stay out of our business!”

“I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have time to go play golf,” he said while campaigning in 2016.

Trump has included numerous messages aboutHurricane Dorianon his Twitter feed, among more standard boasts about his job performance and attacks on his rivals (and celebrities).

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
