He’s going to play through.
President-elect Donald Trump casually played a round of golf Friday afternoon — completely unfazed by the sentencing from New York Judge Juan Merchan.
The soon-to-be commander in chief donned his signature “Trump Was Right About Everything” cap as he swerved around in a golf cart on the links of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
It was the same course where Trump was nearly assassinated by a deranged would-be killer who camped out near the 6th hole with an AK-47 as the president played the 5th hole just a few hundred yards away.
The casual round of golf came just hours after a New York sentencing hearing — where the president-elect sounded off before Judge Juan Merchan read him the sentencing for the 34 felony counts which he was convicted on May 30, 2024.
“This is a case that should have never been brought,” Trump declared during a six-minute diatribe delivered to the court via video-call from Mar-a-Lago. “The fact is, I’m totally innocent, I did nothing wrong.”
Merchan sentenced the Queens native to an “unconditional discharge” during the hearing in Manhattan Supreme Court.
“Sir, I wish you godspeed as you assume your second term in office,” Merchan told Trump at the hearing.
Trump took to Truth Social after the hearing to further express his dismay at being the first president to be convicted of a felony offense.
“The Radical Democrats have lost another pathetic, unAmerican Witch Hunt,” the Don wrote in a lengthy post.
“That result alone proves that, as all Legal Scholars and Experts have said, THERE IS NO CASE, THERE WAS NEVER A CASE, and this whole Scam fully deserves to be dismissed.”
