President Donald Trump played golf on Monday with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who's been quite open about his disagreements with the president, The Washington Post reports.
Both Trump and Graham are spending the long weekend together at Trump National Golf Club in Northern Virginia, Trump's private course, where they hoped to play. The Post reports that staffers were seen placing golf clubs in vehicles, and Trump in casual wear.
Before his election, Trump frequently attacked former President Barack Obama for playing too much golf.
Last August, Graham became a fierce critic of Trump over the president's reaction to the violence in Charlottesville. The senator blasted the president's assertion that "both sides" were to blame, saying that this response has garnered praise from "some of the most racist and hate-filled individuals and groups in our country."
Trump fired back, writing on Twitter that Graham was "publicity seeking" and "just can't forget his election trouncing," after ending his presidential campaign last year before the first primaries.
