Trump Snubs His Big Faith Event to Go Golfing [View all]

President Donald Trump skipped his own White House-backed event “rededicating” the nation to God to spend the day at his preferred place of worship: the golf course.

As thousands flocked to the National Mall on Sunday for a Trump-backed rally highlighting “the Church’s role in history and civic life” in honor of America’s 250th, the president’s motorcade rolled out of the capital towards the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.

Meanwhile, Trump, 79, fired off a decidedly unholy and chilling Truth Social message once again threatening to wipe out Iran. “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them,” he wrote. “TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! President DJT.”

Trump, who said in 2020 that he considers himself a non-denominational Christian, appears not to have attended a church service since his January 21, 2025, visit to the Washington National Cathedral in the final event of his second inauguration. He has instead made a habit of spending many Sundays on the fairways of his golf clubs. According to Did Trump Golf Today, the president has played golf for 106 of his first 483 days back in office, or roughly 21.9 percent of his presidency.
