President Donald Trump faced scrutiny after driving his golf cart on the green at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. on the weekend of June 9.
Outrage spread over Twitter after a member of the golf course named Mike Frank recorded a video of Trump driving on the green of his own golf course.
Trump was wearing a red "Make American Great Again" hat, a white collared polo shirt sporting the presidential logo, and drove a golf cart with an American flag sticker saying "President Trump" to designate his cart.
In the video Trump can be seen driving his cart around the green before heading towards the man filming the video. Trump politely asked the man recording the video if "everything was good."
"Everything is great," Frank said.
"We have good security fellas," Trump said in the video. "The best security in the history of golf."
