Donald Trump greets supporters in Bedminster WITHOUT a mask

President Donald Trump stopped to say hello to about 50 supporters Sunday who had gathered at an intersection in Bedminster, New Jersey several miles down the road from his private golf club where he’s spent the weekend.  

Trump – who was not wearing a mask to prevent the spread of the coronavirus – got out of his black SUV and was handed a stack of ‘Keep America Great’ baseball hats to toss into the crowd. 

The president stayed about six feet away from the group and could be heard telling them ‘thank you.’

The minute-long campaign stop was the first time the president left his Trump National Golf Club Bedminster all weekend. 

On Saturday the White House sent out a picture of Trump and National Football League great Brett Favre who had golfed together that day. 

‘Brett LOVES Wisconsin, Mississippi and Minnesota. A good golfer – hits it LONG!’ the president tweeted about the experience Sunday.  

Trump also was the ‘special guest,’ the White House said, at a fundraiser put on by America First Action, a group technically not associated with any candidate, Saturday night. 

Reporters were not invited in to cover the event. 

The president also spent portions of Sunday on Twitter, complaining about media coverage and the Democrats. 

‘The Trump Campaign has more ENTHUSIASM, according to many, than any campaign in the history of our great Country – Even more than 2016. Biden has NONE! The Silent Majority will speak on NOVEMBER THIRD!!! Fake Suppression Polls & Fake News will not save the Radical Left,’ the president started off in a morning tweet Sunday. 

His comments addressed media reports about him falling in the most recent polls behind vice president Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election as the contest is now less than 100 days out.  

A Washington Post-ABC news poll earlier this month showed Biden ahead 55 per cent to Trump’s 40 per cent of registered voters.

The president hinted in a tweet that he read a Washington Post op-ed revealing that his campaign and the RNC was told by the Ronald Reagan Foundation and Institute that they could not use the 40th president’s name or likeness in campaign fundraising. 

The foundation, which runs Reagan’s library near Los Angeles, controls use of Reagan and his wife Nancy’s name and image, and does not permit either for use in commercial and political endorsements. 

The op-ed noted that that Frederick J. Ryan Jr., who chairs the foundation, also is CEO of the Washington Post, and that he declined to comment in the piece. 

The president tweeted about Ryan’s involvement with the newspaper, as well as former House Speaker Paul Ryan’s role on the board of Fox, which Trump also has criticized for its recent coverage of his administration. 

‘So the Washington Post is running the Reagan Foundation, and RINO Paul Ryan is on the Board of Fox, which has been terrible. We will win anyway, even with the phony @FoxNews suppression polls (which have been seriously wrong for 5 years)!,’ the president wrote, referring to Paul Ryan as a RINO, or Republican in Name Only.

The president later took aim at a Washington Post publisher Frederick Ryan's involvement with the Ronald Reagan Foundation and Institute, as well as former House Speaker Paul Ryan's role on the board at Fox

Trump later in the day fired a tweet that aired his expectations of Pennsylvania’s electorate in the upcoming election.

‘There is NO WAY a place like Pennsylvania can vote for the Radical Left and their puppet, Joe Biden, when they are against fracking, steel production, and just about everything else that Pennsylvania stands for. Likewise, Texas, and many other states!!!’ he wrote.

It was not clear what may have prompted his remarks.

Trump later fired more criticism at the ‘lamestream media’ over its coverage of violence in erupting in protests in Portland, Seattle and ‘other places’. 

The president, who sent federal agents to quell violence after peaceful George Floyd protests, expressed his disappointment in coverage of his move to impose ‘law and order.’ 

‘The Lamestream Media, including @FoxNews, which has really checked out, is refusing to show what is REALLY going on in Portland, Seattle, and other places. They want the American public to believe that these are just some wonderful protesters, not radical left ANARCHISTS!,’ the president tweeted by Sunday afternoon.

Trump breaking away from his focus on the media also gave an early warning announcement via Twitter that he won’t be throwing out the opening pitch at an upcoming New York Yankees game. 

‘Because of my strong focus on the China Virus, including scheduled meetings on Vaccines, our economy and much else, I won’t be able to be in New York to throw out the opening pitch for the @Yankees on August 15th,’ the president tweeted, promising ‘we will make it later in the season!’

Trump’s reference to the China Virus reflects his choice of words for the coronavirus, for which he has drawn criticism for his administration’s efforts to control the pandemic. 

As for the opening pitch, Trump so far is the only sitting president who has not yet participated in the long-standing tradition of helping to open a major league ballgame. 

The president by late afternoon boarded Air Force One at Morristown Airport to return to Washington. Trump remained in campaign mode, sporting a white ‘Make America Great Again’ baseball cap and waved as he boarded the plane.
