U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Says Trump Should Stay on Golf Course, Not in Oval Office

Gate News message, April 22 — U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York criticized President Trump, saying she would prefer to see him "on the golf course" rather than making major decisions in the White House's Oval Office. The remarks came after Trump issued multiple hardline threats against Iran.

"Obviously, the guy playing golf is bad, but in a sense, we've already seen that some of the most important military decision-makers are trying to keep him away from major decisions," Ocasio-Cortez told reporters. "So in a way, you'd even prefer this guy to be on the golf course rather than in the Oval Office. But that also raises questions about the 25th Amendment—because if Trump cannot be trusted in the situation room and in responding to crises, then he is not fit to be president."
