Trump tweets, plays golf before his meeting with Putin
TURNBERRY, Scotland — Two days before a high-stakes summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Trump played golf and tweeted Saturday from one of his namesake resorts, blaming his predecessor for Russian election meddling and lashing out at the free press from foreign soil.
Aides had said Trump would spend the weekend preparing to meet Putin on Monday in Helsinki, but the tweets showed other topics were on his mind.
“I have arrived in Scotland and will be at Trump Turnberry for two days of meetings, calls and hopefully, some golf — my primary form of exercise!” he tweeted Saturday, referencing his seaside golf resort.
