President Trump feels ‘badly’ after Tiger Woods’ DUI arrest in Florida
NEW YORK — President Donald Trump appeared upset as he addressed the arrest of his longtime pal, Tiger Woods, who was briefly jailed following a rollover crash in Florida, but defended the golf champ, calling him “an amazing person. ” “He’s got some difficulty. There was an accident, and that’s all I know,” Trump told reporters after arriving in Miami Friday evening.
“Very close friend of mine. He’s an amazing person. Amazing man.
But some difficulty. ” The president then added, curtly: “I don’t want to talk about it. ” Trump has for decades enjoyed a close relationship with the 15-time major champ.
In May 2019, during his first term in office, Trump presented Woods with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. Woods is also currently dating the president’s former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump, who was previously married to Donald Trump Jr. “We’ve played golf together.
We’ve had dinner together,” Woods said of his friendship with Trump in a 2018 interview. “I’ve known him pre-presidency and obviously during his presidency. ” The crash occurred on Friday around 2 p.
