Donald Trump was once again spotted playing golf at a course in Washington suburb, a day after he was declared defeated at the hands of Democrat Joe Biden. Trump, who lost the vote on after Biden swept Pennsylvania, is yet to concede to the results of the 46th US presidential elections. While Trump was seen enjoying the opulent sport, Biden was spotted attending mass along with his family members at a Catholic Church near his home in Wilmington.
Trump was earlier seen golfing at his course in Sterling, Virginia on November 7, right after media declared Biden as the next President of the US, ready to be sworn in on January 20. As per Bangkok Post, the Republican incumbent’s motorcade faced hostile signs held by demonstrators as it headed towards Sterling. The 74-year-old, who had claimed that losing to Biden would be the biggest shame of his life, is yet to concede or congratulate his opponent. Instead, he took to Twitter late on November 8 to declare the elections as fraudulent.
“We believe these people are thieves. The big city machines are corrupt. This was a stolen election. Best pollster in Britain wrote this morning that this clearly was a stolen election, that it’s impossible to imagine that Biden outran Obama in some of these states.
