Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden took to Donald Trump’s favorite platform to rebuke Trump for golfing while the nation is still facing supply shortages in its fight against the coronavirus.
We are five months into this crisis, and our health care workers still don't have the masks and protective equipment they need. It's a national disgrace.
Mr. President, use your authority and fix the shortage of PPE before you tee off for yet another round of golf.

The US has recorded new highs in coronavirus cases, with more than 50,000 new patients daily recorded nationally for the last two days.
The American Medical Association published a plea to Vice President Mike Pence to accelerate the production and distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE) to the hardest hit areas.
Trump was at his North Potomac, Virginia golf course this afternoon, with his schedule empty of any other activities before flying to South Dakota this evening for a fireworks display at Mount Rushmore.
Trump has played an estimated 257 rounds of golf since he took office, including at least 10 and as many as 14 since the first coronavirus case was recorded in the US in late January.
